Thanks for the input. I have used Mothers, and yes it does work but its a lot of work on some things - my wheels included. I will try the simi chrome as well as maybe some 00 steel wool on some spots (i happen to have some). SOunds like there isn't any substitution for elbow grease.

 

My wheels were pretty rough. I used 1000 grit sandpaper then Mothers. There is definitely some work involved.

Are we talking cast aluminum wheels or wheels built with hubs, rims and individual spokes? If you are referring to rims and spokes aren't HD rims made from steel?

 

SOS pads are the ***** when it comes to removing any kind of crap from just about anything.

 

if the water hose doesnt wash it off, it stays.

have fun with rubbing your toy harley off

 

When washing the bike I use a small mother’s power ball on my drill to clean the spokes, then I’ll hit them with some wad polish. I like to use never dull but any wad polish will probably do. My bike is my only transportation so wiping them after every ride isn’t really feasible, so sometimes they get bad. Whenever I let them get bad, I use a dremel with polish wheel, I use to go the steel wool 00 route, but it can leave scratches if you aren’t careful enough.

 

I think Nevr Dull is miraculous. It’s a little tedious to hold, but it removes grime pretty easily. Way better than steel wool.

 

Any aluminum specific polish and cleaner in a lot of elbow grease seriously they all work pretty darn good but it takes a lot of work to make it work right.

 

Nevr-dull for the win!
