Cleaning fancy wheels
 

What can i use to clean my fancy Marchesini forged wheels? On my other bikes I used paraffin or WD40 but as these are not ordinary wheels, they be Italian and are on a Italian bike so likely to melt or break if you look at them funny. Should I use something 'delicate'. Or can I safely stick with the above?

I clean the chain with paraffin but I am so paranoid about the wheels I cover it with a rag :rolleyes:

What does the manufacturer recommend?

I have absolutely no idea. :confused: Theres no info in the owners manual or on the official site and my google-fu has failed me so far.

Muck off?

Got my front spotless with it

Nothing even vaguely related to water, that's for sure.

Italian metal, mmmmm!

NO!!!!

Muck off is the devils work.

Amplimator, I have one of those delicate Italians you speak of with fancy wheels. I use SDoc 100, and they haven't melted yet;)

But then the wheel paint is actually better quality than the rest of it :(

I use some pink liquid stuff I get from the local motorcross dealer and it seems to work fine......just wet the wheel first, spray on, wait a few seconds, work with a brush (dustpan brushes are excellent) then hose off. As long as you don't let it dry on I've never had an issue.

Once clean, give them a good dose of wax and sealant (poor boys EXP is ace!) then, it's just Mr Sheen and a duster to re-do.
