Product Care

Mild soap and water is the best method to keep them clean. To keep the show polish, we recommend a quality Aluminum Polish.
Wash with mild soap and water, no detergents or harsh chemical cleaners that can destroy the black anodized finish. You may use a non-abrasive wax with UV protectant on the black anodized portion of the product to protect it. Never use a harsh or abrasive wax as it will remove the black anodized finish. Avoid exposure to UV rays whenever possible.

Cleaning:
Clean your wheels often, this will remove contaminates that eat your chrome and will extend the life of the chrome many years. Never use chemical cleaners, instead use mild soap and water and a soft cloth to clean the wheels.
Waxing:
High speed and long distances on dirty roads can have the same effect as sandblasting your wheels and a good coat of wax is their only protection. We recommend Carnauba type wax applied often with a soft cloth after each ride.
Wire-wheel maintenance involves a few simple tasks and even fewer tools. The wheel needs to be inspected on a periodic basis for physical damage, loose or worn components, alignment problems and, most importantly, spoke tension. We recommend to inspect spoke wheels every 3000 miles or once a year, unless your owner's manual specifies otherwise. We strongly recommend you inspect your spoke wheels after hitting any potential road hazards that could damage them, i.e. potholes, frost heaves and similar obstacles.
