Ive thought about grabbing a bottle of White Diamond several times- they sell it at Walmart where I live- but wondered if it was safe for the fatboy wheels. Now I know I can give it try
I'm more than happy with it,when applying it the white diamond starts off very runny and looks like milk,when applied to aluminium it's goes very dark almost black while you work it into the metal,it take very little effort and you don't need on your cloths,I just wrapped a piece of cloth around the end off my finger and applied it this way and I could treat the exact area I intended.
I tried it on Chrome aswell and yet again it's very good and easy to work with but it doesn't go black when used,I guess this is the nature of using it on aluminium.
Just make sure your cloth you use to buff off with is clean to remove all of the product.
