Cleaning and Storage
Polished Aluminum Care
When a VICTORY motorcycle is new, the polished aluminum wheels, hand levers and
shifter shine like chrome. Ultraviolet (UV) rays and oxidation will cause polished aluminum
to grow dull, however, if it’s not properly polished and protected.
VICTORY Awesome Metal Polish will clean, polish and protect these aluminum surfaces.
This metal polish will restore that factory chrome-like shine and leave a protective coating
that resists future oxidation for several months.
1. Shake the polish container well before using.
2. Apply the product with a terry cotton or microfiber cloth or pad.
3. Rub gently until the black begins to come to the surface or until shine begins to show
through the haze.
4. Allow the product to haze.
5. Remove the haze with a terry cotton or microfiber cloth and buff to a long-lasting
chrome-like shine.
6. Do not polish the spokes on painted spoked wheels.
Polishing Paint and Chrome
There are two totally different styles of polishing or protecting your paint and chrome,
standard polishing and premium polishing.
NOTICE: Do not polish matte finishes.
Standard Method of Polishing Paint and Chrome
VICTORY Windshield, Paint and Chrome Polish is a unique formula designed to produce a
glass-like shine on painted or clear-coated finishes and chrome surfaces. It provides long-
lasting protection from oxidation, corrosion, UV rays and heat.
• Use it on chrome-plated accessories to prevent surface rust and create a glass-like shine.
• This product creates a high reflective index point, giving a deep, shiny finish without
silicone.
• It repels water from windshields and keeps bugs from sticking.
• Use it to polish and fill light scratches on Plexiglas, Lexan, Acrylic and factory-coated
windshields.
1. Shake the container well before using.
2. Apply with a VICTORY Plush Microfiber Towel in a circular motion or straight line to a
clean surface. It can be applied in direct sunlight.
3. Rub the product until it is almost clear, then allow to dry to a haze before removal. The
entire motorcycle can be treated before removing polish.
4. Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to wipe it off easily and dust-free.
5. For best results on a windshield, apply to a clean windshield. Once applied, rain water
beads and blows off, enhancing rain visibility. The glass-like finish keeps bugs from
sticking and permits their easy removal.
