R1YAM Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Hi mate just had my wheels polished, what do you use to keep yours looking good, cheers, good luck with yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted May 7, 2004 Author Admin Share Posted May 7, 2004 Well im normally always just wash them everytime i use the bike and rub a hard wax on them. But there was some road tar on them (At last hot sticky tarmac 8) ) Should have just polished it off rather than trying to take the easy way :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucko Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 try alu-belgum polish,much better than solvol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted May 7, 2004 Author Admin Share Posted May 7, 2004 Hmm never heard of that, will go shopping tomorrow 8) The other thing i thought about doing was to use a harsher rubbing compound such as valve lapping paste and then use the autosol :?

R1YAM Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Cheers guys, i wash em down after every ride but they seem to have faded marks on them, where do you get that alu-belgum halfords or somewhere like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
