Fatboy Wheels ?
I was wondering what products everyone uses to clean their Fatboy wheels. They are a pain to keep clean.

You could buy a mag cleaner for auto zone and just use a hard bristle brush. I didn't wait long to swap them out for polished smooth, chromed wheels. Now I just use windex and/or chrome polish.

Exchange them for chrome Fatboy wheels, you'll save yourself alot of time and end up with a better looking bike.

Soap and water is all you need unless you get tar on them. Aluminum isn't supposed to shine...

I was advised once before to use some Simple Green on them. Spray it on and wash it off. Scrub if you need it. However, I have bought the Simple Green and it remains in the garage as I haven't tried it out yet. I'll have to let you know.

I use simple green. Spray it on, then use a hose to wash it off. I do that before I wash the bike and it comes out looking great.

For the record, I got mine through chromethathog, too. I've since gotten the swingarm, pulley and both calipers from them. They're fair and priced very well.
