I always see shiny rims on all of your trikes :shock: and I can not get that kind of shine on mine. I have the stock 350x rims and they have some ugly spots on the clear coat which dont help. I tried Mothers aluminum polish and it get a nice shine, but there is some staining on them I can't get off. These were from the previous owners neglect . Any Hints or Tips???

I gently used steel wool to get off some of the minor spots on my front rim. (crome) It worked good.

after you do that put wax on them to protect the shine, trust me it works!

I just use a small brush made for washing cars, dip it into some soap and H2O and a couple swipes later they are sparkling (although my wheels are stock silver steel wheels)
