Posted May 6, 200420 yr Admin Cant believe what i have just done!!! :cry: :cry: I was outside cleaning my bike, and someone phoned me up so i was just chatting away and not really thinking and sprayed alloy wheel cleaner over my rims! I completely forgot you cant put the stuff on polished alloy !! :oops: :oops: So now i have white stains all over my wheels :evil: Have spent about an hour so far polishing with autosol and its coming off, but what a stupid thing to have done :shock:
May 7, 200420 yr Moderator DO'H!! #-o ......Damn mobile phones!....such a destraction they are :roll:
May 7, 200420 yr Hi mate just had my wheels polished, what do you use to keep yours looking good, cheers, good luck with yours
May 7, 200420 yr Author Admin 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:
May 7, 200420 yr Author Admin 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 :?
May 7, 200420 yr 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?
