Default Wheel question?

As some of you know I just took delivery of my first TriGlide (2016). I'll have some questions but let's start with this one first.......
I want to stay on top of keeping my wheels clean and shiny with the least amount of work. I've done some searching and saw a lot of people were using the Mothers power ball and polish. I'd prefer to go chrome but that's not doable right now due a butt load of medical bills!
Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated and just so ya'll know, I'm dang glad to be here!!!

I have chrome wheels on mine. But I use Armorall outlast brake repellant on them. I have no idea how it will be on yours but it has helped on my chrome ones. It's no magic cure for cleaning, but I don't have to clean them as often.

Default Zepher Pro-40 polish


I use the Pro-40 and a Powerball the long extension one, does a great job especially behind the front rotors. Pro-40 leaves behind a protective coating I only polish twice a year. I do keep them clean with windshield washer after I ride a few days and especially after in the rain. I enjoy doing cleaning gives me time to look over the machine check things over. travel safely Fred

If you have the UN coated bare Aluminum wheels , Clear coat them now, You can do it with a good quality rattle can clear coat... Not the 99c Wally-World kind. You'll never get them to look new if you don't... I finely gave up and sanded them down and sprayed them black...Just me mind you' I like them better black...
