Walk into Ur local Harley dealer.

Go to the parts counter and tell them Ur problem, Then ask them if they have something to clean Ur rims

The new chrome is black and it needs to be powder coated. Get your rims powder coated and this will all be taken care of then you just need soap and a sponge.

try a aluminum polish and really fine steel wool if its real bad. then make sure you seal it with something to help with future problems

I think the steel wool option will work and quicker. What do you seal it with that will work?

Can't do chrome. That ride to polish factor increases with every little bit you add to the bike. If I have to, I will go ALL BLACK.
