ORIGINAL: thehueg

Does the S100 work on polished HD aluminum wheels? \\\\\\; They get stains and are a bear to clean.
The S100 works really well on the wheels on my RG. Takes off all the dirt and brake dust. When I wash the bike, I just scrub and rinse with the S100. I do all the chrome and both wheels at the same time. No buffing involved.

I use Simple Green to spot clean the chrome and then Mother's Billet chrome polish (best stuff I ever found) for a nice shine.

this is simple for chrome get a stick of road rub this stuff will blow your mind on how well it will clean your chrome.
&nbsp\\;
it will take off bugs road grim and melted shoe rubber and it wont scratch the chrome a bit.
&nbsp\\;
here's there web site but you'll have to&nbsp\\;probably order it from a web site that sells it. just Google it and you'll find some one who sells it.&nbsp\\;http://roadrub.com/

"Ice" quick detailer made by Turtle Wax works great for me on chrome, windshields and painted surfaces.&nbsp\\; It takes the nasty Florida bugs off with no problem and doesn't leave a film and leaves the chrome shinier than anything else I've used, including HD's stuff.&nbsp\\; I use it all the time in between washings.

According to my personal detailer (aka: my girl)&nbsp\\; She uses Never-Dull wadding polish to clean and polish all the metal on my bikes.&nbsp\\; Windex will work for a quick shine up, but won't get all the stuff off.

&nbsp\\; I have tried Mothers, turtle wax, and a few others.&nbsp\\; For the most part they all worked well until I tried Master Formula.&nbsp\\; That stuff is the cats meow for chrome.&nbsp\\; Very little effort and a whole lot of shine that stays.&nbsp\\; I use Master Formula metal polish first and then I use Master Formula sealer and it works well.&nbsp\\; I don't use it every time&nbsp\\;I wash the bike, but I do use it when I wax my bike which is once a month or so.&nbsp\\;
