Ok folks, help me out here please.

It irritates me to no end to have a shiney front rim and dull-azz spokes and hub. They aren't chrome plated so I tried plain soap and water, didn't work. I tried Stainless steel polish, didn't work.

What cleans these damn things?


Also, is it cheaper to have a shop rebuild the wheel with chrome plated spokes rather than buy a whole new wheel? I love spokes and want that wheel to be insane-blinding to anyone who looks at it.


I know tricks to cleaning chrome, stainless steel and evening Titanium, (I raced Ti frames a few years ago), but these spokes are ridiculous.[:@]

 

Ive heard good things about those mother's power *****.... I'd give that a shot.

 

try mothers mag and aluminum cleaner polish, makes my aluminum shine

 

Thanks. I assume any Vatozone or O'reilly's will have it? If so, I'll run by there tomorrow and git r done.

 

polish spokes??? thats too much work.

 

i bought mothers at advance auto parts but the other places should carry it

 

+1 its a pain in the nuggets

 

+1, one ride and you are back to square one...

 

I use Lusterlace and lusterpad on most of the shiny stuff but got tired of the spokes and changed the wheel - no more spokes.

 

Put your polish on a shoestring and wrap it around the spoke and go back and forth.
