Best way to clean chrome strut tower bar?

So i have the cusco strut bar and it looks like there is water or sweat stains on it from a shop when some work was done. What is the best product and way to get it back to looking nice and clean and shiney?

Generally with actual chrome, the best cleaner is tinfoil and water.

I clean the bike with it and it blows my mind every time.

Stay fresh metal shine. Seriousoy one of the best chrome polishes i've used. Very delicate and you do not need to work it in or scrub it hard. Just apply, massage a bit, then wipe away.

Literally take tinfoil and a small container of water. Wad up the tinfoil, dip it in the water, and scrub. Chrome is a much harder surface than tinfoil so it has no chance of scratching it. It just takes off any corrosion. Check YouTube. Full of vidyas
