RE: polished rear wheel night train.
Hey bud try the detaling section. I found some good stuff in there. When I had solid discs on my Fatboy I was considering a Flitz, or Mothers' Powerball. Ended up getting spokes. Now these SOB's are hard to clean. [:@]

Never dull isnt that good on aluminum surfaces (from what I have found) and always leaves that film.
I have gone to a 3M marine aluminum restorer and polish . Its made for pontoon boats and such but does great on the rear wheel.
Loks likew chrome from a few feet away!

I have a solid polished rear wheel. I use flitz and a motherspowerball.... do the same you won't be disappointed. I could never get it to shine by hand the way the flitz does.
the nice thing about flitz is it's not acid based and the more you use it on them the better the buildup becomes. Water just rolls right off.

You have to order it from online. I got my first tube at a bike show and tried it first... have ordered it by the can ever since. I use the paste metal polish. Also, a little of this goes a long way.
