    Chrome Wheels

    Hello all...

    Had a customer email me wanting to have the chrome wheels on his harley cleaned up..What product do some of you suggest for it. Also what to charge do you think as this is the first time someone has just asked me about wheels only. I'm thinking a harley is a great candidate for waterless/rinseless wash for the rest of the bike.

    I appreciate the assistance on this everyone.

    Thank you.

    Re: Chrome Wheels

    From my expierence if someone only request that one certain thing be cleaned on their mode of transportation they are either:


    A) Cheap

    or

    B) They have an issue that is so far gone, there is little if any help that can be offered that will please them

    Having said this, I would have to know the condition of the wheels before offering any advice that is worth while. Another thing to ask...are these wheels chrome plated aluminum (polished) or Metal. Ask him if there is any rust on the surface. These questions here will help answer alot


    Of course there is always option (C)...The guy is Mentally Ill/Kook

    I am a HUGE fan of eagle one never dull....Just used it on some chrome wheels on an F-250 with some horribly caked on brake dust

    I had one of these call me just the other day. She was a kook and on top of that she wanted me to clean up her vomit... she got sick in her car. AND on top of that she was wanting a deal. Vomit isnt worth the amount of money she was willing to spend. Im not sure what price figure is worth it.

    I get a couple vomit and/or blood calls a month. I never do them. I'm sorry, but there is no amount of money that would make me clean up someone else's vomit or blood.
