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.

Mother's Aluminum polish works great.

Buffing compound and a buffer on the drill then some mothers, It will turn into a mirror!

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)
