Cleaning The Silver Bits

Any suggestions on how to clean the silver bits on my speed triple (2002 955i)?

Ankle guards? Swing arm? They aren't shiny. They are a kind of dull silver. Cast? Aluminium? Not sure. I think they may have a lacquer on them?

Thanks

 

They’re painted aren’t they?

 

Yes, some...

But I found something that's really useful... And seems to have worked a treat!

And you are going to tell us soon. Or is it another guessing game.

Can you pot some and send it over?
