I use Simple Green to clean the front suspension

Would really like to have a chrome front end, then simple chrome polish. LOL

After eventually giving up on trying any further to remove all that accumulated brake dust myself, I took my Prowler to a conscientious shop owner who first removed its front wheels, cleaned them of all their accumulated brake dust on their back (body) side, and replaced the front OEM brake pads with aftermarket ceramic brake pads to cut down greatly on any future, very noticeable, black brake dust --- per the very helpful advice I'd received earlier about ceramic brake pads in my thread titled, "Products to Clean Off Brake Dust At Back Side of Front Chrome Prowler Wheels" ( http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/004625-2.html ).

In regard to my Prowler's chromed front suspension itself (purchased from Prowler Products by Gary), I periodically wax mine, not just for protection, but also to make it easier to deal later with any street dust, as does avoiding the streets surrounding a quarry-related operation about two miles away from me that specializes in making a mess nearby it by transporting tons of crushed stone daily.

I've no regrets with my chromed set-up, for which I'd also obtained its chromed upper ball joint covers, also offered by Prowler Products by Gary, part number CBJC.

I didn't lightly make the decision to purchase a chromed front suspension from Prowler Products by Gary, which is run by fellow Prowler Online member, GaryE.

In fact, it took me probably two years or more to make that purchase, because it's not inexpensive, and it can require a substantial deposit, understandably so, given the twit who elected to keep GaryE's chrome front suspension, and the requisite "core charge" front suspension which that dishonest slimeball buyer previously agreed to return --- but never did --- to Prowler Products by Gary.

In contrast, you'll see after a bit of sleuthing on this forum, that GaryE himself has a deservedly EXCELLENT reputation. But don't just take my word for it; check it out for yourself.

In any case, when I saw your comment at the outset of your thread here that you already very much like the appearance of the exposed front suspension of your Prowler, I thought to myself you'd very much like even more than that the appearance of a chromed exposed front suspension for your Prowler, so that is why I mentioned that option for you.

I say, "GO for it!" as you're likely not getting any younger, nor, unfortunately, is the sole purveyor of that quality, chromed, front suspension Prowler set-up from GaryE.
