LOL...there's no secret,just do my best to keep on top of them,then when it comes to washy time just clean the wheels/bike with clear water,followed by a capfull of bike/car wax in a bucket of warm water,then rinse off.
After that i shammy down with a special cloth from halfords(not a leather)dont know what it's called but it leaves it streak free,then wax on wax offafter that i just go round the wheels with the cloth i've polished the wax off with,so maybe thats what brings them up/voila shiny rims.

No different to my polishing then. Lucky to get em on the bike like that already. If their owt like mine you really need to keep up with them or they start looking a bit naff. . . be a long time before yours do though

Ahh but noticed in your sig, they're chrome, so no wonder...lol

I was almost mightily impressed with the polishing skills on the Alloy there until I saw they are chromed . Not a fan of Chrome on sports bikes but yours is strangely alluring and tastefully done , nice job

Meh, you missed a bit



Very shiney indeed. And I bet that pipe is rather fruity too.
