Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

I used to be able to blag some alloy wheel cleaner acid from work, which we used to brush onto wheels then rinse off. It works a treat on rusty chrome so I used it on numerous old chromed steel wheels at home. Though you have to find the sweet spot as to how long to leave it on*. It makes your fingers a bit hot and stingy so take care. The stuff we had was trade stuff but google it and you'll find some. It usually says not for chromed steel but in my experience it works a treat though it does attack plastic and turns valve caps white. Once you've cleaned the wheels rinse well and dry then spin them and spray a clear coat onto them.

• One chap left all the chrome bits off an old Puch moped in a vat of the stuff for a whole weekend. Luckily it was okay but you have to monitor it.
