Cleaning Spokes 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago

I have a 2005 Road Star Silverado but the spokes are ridden with oxidation. What is the best way to get them to shine again.

I have an '06. They never really 'shined'. They are either clean or dirty. I'm gonna fix that next winter - get ready poprivet lol.
You can't use anything that's harsh or abrasive because they are coated at the fatory - like your forks. If they're that oxidized maybe the coating is already gone.
I clean mine with a hand steam cleaner - rims too.
Soory, not much help.
ps...my truck rims are oxidized maybe the suggestions will work for them too.

Hi chaps
well dunno about spokes bit here's a top tip for yer rims if they get rusty as shown to me from an ex guards man. Get yer polish/chrome cleaner rub it in by finger until it turns black then rub with a 2" piece of cardboard.This will bring it back to life. If you have no chrome cleaner wd 40 or a light oil will also polish the rust out  Try this on any rusty parts works every time!!!

There is a cleaner/polish called LUSTER LACE made to clean anything round. It is good for handlebars, sissybar frames, spokes, etc.
