I washed my bike and noticed what appears to be some spots in the clear coat on my front wheel. Are the wheels clear coated? Has anyone else experienced this? I used Mcguire's Metal Restorer and it didn't seem to remove much of the spots...any suggestions? I had a set of wheels on my truck that did this and over time they ended up looking like crap...Any advise would be much appreciated |

My 9R wheels do not appear to be clear coated. I second the use of mothers polish. I use it on the wheels and all the polished parts on my bike. |

after the mothers polish (great for "roughing it in" I use Flitz metal polish to finish the job off. It really gives a super high gloss and has a protectant in it that makes the shine last. So you can spend more time riding than polishing. |

Polished mine with some "Kit" brand swirl&haze remover. Dang.....dem rims is shiney. Then I waxed them with some Turtle wax paste. They went from: Dang...... to: MY GOD......I'M BLIND!!!!!! |
