Hi guys, has anyone used this on a bike's rims?!

https://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=33&main_group=3&category_index=wheel

Is there any problem of doing it?
And by the way, what's the best home made solution to clean the wheels and tires?

Thanks and sorry if the topic is on the wrong place... Embarassed

I used clearasil on mine.




They were spotless.

WD40 in a spray bottle. Spray it on, leave it for a couple of seconds, wipe it off. Clean!

I've used WD40 before and does the job nicely, but is there anything we can put and not worry if it goes to the tyres?

+1 on the white spirit or paraffin, both applied with a rag. I don't fancy the randomness of spraying.

A nice coat of grease on the wheels brings them up nice and shiny! Perfect for the summer rider to show off some real bling!
