I was writing while you added the pics. Looks real good. ............ Just my personal preference but i wouldn't even wash the bike with water. Using the combination of what i have written above and the bike will look like it has been restored from 10ft, maybe even 5 ft. Chrome should come up nice as well.
Some of the guys on here have done some nice restorations and have rejuvenated the chrome parts, (not re-chromed), that were a bit worse for wear and they have come up real good.
Ask and they will reveal them selves and the methods they used. ........I know mailman did this on his XS2 and he is fussy, (no not our Bob), so if they didn't set a standard he wouldn't be using them
