Cleaning the chrome plastic

What do you use to clean the fake chrome plastic parts?

I noticed my beltline for example is extremely dull. There's also some crap built up on my MINI badges.

I use Nevr-Dull for the real stuff (driving lights, gas cap, exhuast) but that would kill the plastic stuff.

Is there anything special for it? Or do I just need to get out the soap and scrub...

Cleaning the chrome plastic

Hi Josh,
I use Windex.
Works well, cheap and squeeky clean results.
Al on cape.

Plexus seems to work well on all shiny plastics, including tint, can't see why it wouldnt be good for that as well

I'll try window cleaner (I have better stuff than windex, which is not safe for tint), but that plexus stuff looks neat. I wonder if I can buy it anywhere or direct only.

I've found that they have it in motorcycle shops since many seem to use it to clean visors. I've seen it other places too but the well stocked cycle shop seems to be a good bet

cheers
