You might want to give it a try on your wheels and spokes to see what you'll see.

Even if it doesn't produce great results there I'm guessing there's a ton of places on the bike it'll work great.

They will look good for about a week and then back to crap .Over the years i used everything on spokes.Change them too SS and forget chrome also .You will be a happy rider then

Re: Help with Harley-Davidson wheel cleaning

TL,

It is the spokes that are the problem. The hub and rim are just fine, the spokes are the gray headache I have. And they should not be polished. What is recommended for a metal sealant after the spokes are cleaned? Thanks.
