Default Old Product Shines
Id dare say anyone whos owned a bike at one time has bought an old product called never dull wadding.I was at the harley dealer and happened to notice the rims on the new ultra classics! were they diffrent no! they looked like chrome ! mine look ok but like a polished semi dull aluminum finish.I thought maybe mine on my 09 are supposed to look like that Hum!I pulled an old can of never dull of the shelf and sat down and just thought id see what it could do!im sure my rims wont look like the ones at the dealership,so I started rubbing like a wild maniac, and guess what that with some chrome cleaner follow up and my rims look awsome,like new chrome. I was taken back my rims now look like they should awsome!! Give never dull a try on them rims I was very impressed by an old product that still shines

So are your wheels chrome and they were just dull, or are they aluminum and the Never Dull polished them up to appear chrome?

I have been using Never dull since the seventies..If you take the time and a lot of elbow grease you can get some very nice results..It rocks..

Ditto, I use it for stubborn tar & misc crap stuck on my heat shields. I've been using it on chrome for years with no ill effects.

Good Question the Aluminum Wheels on my 09 Ultra are a PITA to keep up and if don't keep up with them, pretty soon they get so crappy looking not worth the effort ..

I gave up and bought the 9 spoke chrome wheels. Never could keep the original ones clean.

I finally switched to chrome as well. So much easier to keep nice. But I've used Never Dull for years on chrome and stainless..... great product. A little tip, I always put on surgical gloves when working with it, and I don't end up black all over the fingers, etc....
