Noticed a little dirt on my wheels so got a rag and wiped it off, then noticed that the rag was black. What is a good product to clean these wheels up and protect them??
Thanks ... Paul
Try some HondaBrite seems to work great for me. S100 cleaner should do fine as well.
I did see a product at the IMS in San Mateo last Dec, and darn if I can recall the name, which would clean and polish so well that they demo'd it on the bottom of a pepsi can (dull aluminum), and made it look like chrome. Supposedly one application lasted months. I'll try to do some research and see if I can't discover the product name. It was expensive.

I too choose Busch products, I got into road salt on a week long trip by the time I was able to clean the wheels I thought they were permanitly damaged. But Busch products shined them up like they were chrome:lol:
Found a guy to powder coat my rims for 35.00 each........now they clean with no effort at all........... Had the originals done in silver to look like factory, and had a spare rear done in gloss black.....not sure if I like it or not, but it is very easy to clean...
He has caught on now, and charges like 50.00 plus per wheel which is still a heck of a deal compared to most places.
Best stuff I've tried, and trust me, I've tried them all. I finally went chrome, which should actually save me money since I can stop trying different aluminum polishes.
I like this better than Buschs. It give a better shine easier, and cleans up easier afterwards.
I've been using BOMS Away metal polish with very good results. It takes a little effort, but the rims look great. Powder coating would be my next solution.
Hi guys. This is going to sound stupid, but I just a little feedback that it's going to be fine.
Out west here, there's long stretches of highway that are 80mph or higher. Cooking along at 85mph, my 2012 is turning around 3400rpm (going from memory).
That's like halfway to redline. It...
I asked a friend to fabricate an oil filter cover for me for the GL1800 and below are photos of the finished product. I think he made up a few more and will sell them if folks want them. I didn't want to add a full belly pan, but did feel like it would be a good idea to give the filter some...
I bought my 2018 DCT Tour used, a little over a year ago. I have put on over 10,000 miles. I was skeptical of Honda's claim that mileage improvements would compensate for reduced fuel capacity. This past week, I rode with a good friend who has a 2016 GL1800. We rode at least five tank fill...
I'm in the market for a new GPS and have decided on the Garmin brand, assuming these will work the best with Garmin's Basecamp application.
The 396 seems very reasonable for about $270 but the 595 is bigger, both in screen size and price ($550 more or less). Quite a price bump for a little more...
I am running Bridgestone G709 front tire on my 2008 GL1800. I have on it 9500km (5,903 Miles). I just measure my centre thread depth, it has 3/32” left. Seems wearing out pretty quick. Does anyone know what the centre thread depth is on a brand new G709?
My Bridgestone matching rear looks ok, it...
