I have some street glide wheels. I just took mine off the street glide and put the ultras HAHAH. Crazy how people can be so different. I think the SG wheels ae ugly.

I use s100 to wash the bike and wheels the blow dry with my leaf blower then use wonder wad , eagles or some other polish on the polished section and,

WOW no one uses the S100 engine bright!

I spray this on the black and they look like brand new!

maybe 10 minutes tops? ... It takes me 10 minutes to get the washing crap out :>)

I cleaned then paste waxed mine(wax on, wax off) and they look awesome. Winter makes you do some crazy things.

SOS bricks work wonders on cleaning the ultra wheels as well as any chrome...

I use a bottle brush and it gets in all the cracks and between the spokes where my hands cannot fit.
