Cleaning the 750 NH wheels

[Northern Rider]

I have a 750 NH and trying to shine up the wheels a bit more. I have tried Mothers aluminum polish, Meguires fine and course metal shine paste and a couple of other things, and they are starting to look OK, but could be better.

Just wondering what everyone else uses to shine up their NH wheels? Any suggestions are appreciated. When I ever take the time to learn how to post pictures I will be posting a pic of my bike.

shine up the wheels a bit more.

Mine were really oxidized. I took 400 wet sandpaper to the outer lip (3/4 inch or so where bead seats). Then 600 grit, and that took out the nasty stuff and appeared uniform.

Not going for a polished look, I left it at that. The spoked areas get "simple green".

Thanks Bob H. for the tip!

Not sure what the polish can do as the rims come powder coated from factory...

Yes the 96


Yes the 96 wheels are powder coated in the center, but the outer rim bead is polished, just trying to get a little more shine on them.













No
