Hi all

In need of advice please, have GSXR with white wheel trims. Whats the best way to keep them looking white? I am using a dry chain lubricant which helps, buts still unsure how to get all the dirt off and make them shine!

Thanks

I would give them a really good scrub with some WD40 make them gleam and give your tyres endless grip...

(please dont try this it will end in tears, Im only joking)

Actually WD40 - applied to the rag, not the wheels, is a good way to get dirty, greasy marks off. However, after doing that I would use a soap and water solution (a bit of washing up liquid, a Tide or OMO type paste - which on a toothbrush makes a great chain cleaner) etc. to clean them as well.

Alternatively and a lot more expensively, this stuff is great - but like WD40 keep it off the brakes.

I use it and even though it costs more, I much prefer it over Muc-Off which is recommended by many folk. I find that if you leave that on too long, it marks the ally, the paint etc. and you are left feeling that you might as well have used caustic soda.

Try and buy from Hein Gericke when they have one of their frequent sales/discount weekends, the savings are usually worthwhile.

When I had white wheels, I used WD40 on a rag (as Chris says) then Mr Sheen to get a shine.

Yup, used WD40 on a rag when I had a YZF with white wheels, works a treat

A handy tip is to put cling film over the disc and caliper........easy to do and keeps spray cleaner off the places it really dont want to be

... and welders anti-splatter spray can help keep the crud off the exhaust.

Never thought of that Paul, I have just ordered some as the Wing exhausts are somewhat enclosed!
