RejeX: Use it on the cars and applied to the bike and chrome fenders when new. Will see how it holds up preventing rust.
CorrosionX: Been wiping a thin film on the clean rims where they've machined them to be shiny. Also rubbed some on the front facing surafces of the forks, notice how small rocks chip the clearcoat then much later you find spider webs of corrosion growing under the clear coat?
Did that before on a Harley to keep the machined surfaces from pitting, seems to work pretty good. Granted it's not going to be SHINY but the machined surfaces show through and I just apply a new film when I wash the wheels.
Tri-Flow: Read online how the Gulf Coast sport fishermen were using it on their expensive reels and rigging so I got some from the hardware store to squirt some on various nuts, bolts, fittings, hinge, levers, etc. all over my bikes. Figure a bit of protection now will make it easier to remove later when I add farkles or repair stuff.
If you do get some small surface rust one of the best things I've found to rub it out is some common household aluminum foil since its soft enough not to scratch the surface of the chrome plating but abrasive enough to rub off the small rust spots, then you have to apply your protective coating of wax or whatever.
