Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech S100 Wheel Cleaner Spotting

Just used the S100 wheel cleaner on the aluminum wheels of my '07 America and it did a great job. Bike was in the shade and cool, temp in the mid 60's. Wheels moderately dirty. I sprayed it on and left it for 15 minutes.

I hosed of the wheels and then wiped them with a wet rag. It was amazing at how easily the dirt and grime came off, but there is some white spotting and streaking in places.

What would be the best and safest way to polish this out?

Thanks!

Use Mothers aluminium polish and get their power ball. Don't use the s100 on the wheels again, because it's eating through the claer coat. It probably says in the directions to test on a small spot for that reaction. If you continue to use it you'll be in for very long and ardious wheel polishings forever. Personaly, I use "Plexis" to claen the whole bike, wheels too! It comes in a spray can and a little goes a long way. Spray it on wipe it off

A little Post Script on previous post. when cleaning the wheels I spray the Plexis on the rag I'm using then wipe the wheels. I believe it has silicon and wax in it, and you wouldn't want that on your brake disks.
