Cleanin Spokes
« on: June 24, 2006, 09:56 AM »
I have a set of original wheels and the front is fine bit of a polish and sparkles but the rear :tickedoff:

Dull, oily marks etc etc

Any ideas or is it a re spoke ???

Cheers

Toss 'em off with steel wool, then take 'em to the tickly bit with Autosol  :daumenhoch:

A slightly less messy way is to use scotchbrite pads (I cut them into smaller pieces to wrap aound the spokes) rather than steel wool, but you definitely need the Autosol to get them shiney again one you've removed the surface blemishes!  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away

Cheers Guys, I have been using a brillo pad with degreaser and the fookin thing just desinigrated after half a wheel >:(

Scotch pad it is then, saves pickin all the bits of wire out the crossovers!!

Cheers
