We have a few threads on this, but the consensus seems to be either Cape Cod polishing cloths or Autosol (liquid preferably).

i only use cape cod it works great and have never had a problem with it. what ever you do don't use vinegar. i tried it and it stained it. the cape cod cloth got rid of it
Thats a shame. Seems it may have something to do w/body chemistry and the nickel plate. Some of us can handle them and no tarnish.

Looks like that's caused by heat from your battery. I'd use one of these if it were mine.....
5 or 6 bucks for one of the wipes at a motorcycle supply dealer
The thing about nickel plating is you have to be extra careful not to remove the plating when cleaning.
That's just awful. I wouldn't be able to deal with that personally, would drive me nuts.

if i need to be ultra careful with when polishing my nickel, i might as well sell it and get another SS. i don't want to destroy mine and i'm certainly capable of it.
first, i'll get another SS, then consider selling the nickel 
i should have clarified first.
i'm not the most cautious and careful person.. so, until i know for certain how to polish my nickel ggts, i won't experiment or take risks.

I used mothers metal polish on my Nickel when I had it and didn't scrub it hard. I lightly rubbed the ggts but I barely even put any polish on the serial number/logo and just simply wiped it softly. It shined it up and took off some very light tarnish. I used my nickel ggts wrapped up in a microfiber cloth anyways so it wouldn't tarnish either.
Still waiting to hear if an ultrasonic cleaner really does the cleaning for you. Mine gets almost gunmetal color after a week and mothers takes me an hour to get it back to shiny. Simone said that using a mild detergent in water in an ultrasonic cleaner works for them. Anyone else??
i'll be trying out a mild detergent like Dawn later tonight and let you know how it goes.
I use this to polish my GGTS Meguiars NXT All Metal Polysh is one of Meguiars most versatile metal polishes.
Does an excellent job from tarnish to high shine!!

you use this on your nickel GGTS? i wouldn't take the risk if it doesn't list nickel on the label.
