Cleaning Chrome Spokes Motorcycle
One the initial carp is off I then use a metal polish paste called Autosol with a new scotchbrite pad.
Cleaning chrome spokes motorcycle. Allow 2 minutes to pass and then wearing gloves begin cleaning the wheel with the brush. For a touchless cleaning try Moto Clean 900. Wipe the areas dry using a soft rag.
Double loop it around a spoke and pull the ends back and forth going up and down the spoke. Chrome - I am concerned about how the chrome will affect the fit of the threaded end of the spoke and the threaded female nipple. Repeat for each spoke.
I use the scotchbrite pads as pictured. Chrome shouldnt really rust as such. Scrub small sections but do not apply enough force to remove the chrome plate from the spoke.
Spray the spokes hubs and wheels with a high-pressure water nozzle making several passes to remove all gel or wheel cleaner residue from all cracks and seams. There are spoke brushes available as well. Apply chrome polish to get rid of.
You dont have to settle for the memory of your chromes glory days though. Use a brass wire brush to clean your spokes. If your motorcycle has heavy oxidation preclean it prior to polishing with Flitz Aluminum PreClean this can also be used safely on chrome.
You can use a green scouring pad with some of this on it you only need a little bit. Paint may not get into the threaded female nipple end andor may scrape off the threaded male spoke end and thus rust. The brass wire is strong enough to loosen rust and dirt but wont scratch your chrome or aluminum wheel rim.
