sos pad works great 3 Months ago
|
|

Cleaned up my spokes and whitewalls with sos pads today, worked great, took all the grime off the spokes and whitened up the whitewalls pretty good.

The coating on the spokes is very thin and you shouldn't use anything abrasive on them.

A little off topic, but what works well on getting the brown shoe heel marks off the exhaust pipes?

I probably should have just started a new thread for this one.

As long as your using new sos pads and lots of water there not very abraisive. I've used them forever for cleaning chrome, brings the shine back, never had any problems with them scratching anything.

Try an sos pad, just be gentle, they work great. I had my nylon workout pants melt to my pipes, the only thing that worked for me was an sos pad. Just my 2 cents.

Hope that's the case. The coating is pretty crappy on these spokes. I wouldn't clean 'em with SOS every time if you can help it. Keep a close eye out for rust spots, etc., just in case.

You think they would have chromed them from the factory. I don't put lots of pressure when using the sos pads, be gentle, it cleans the gunk off the spokes, they're nice and smooth now.

I've always used 0000 grade steel wool on non-coated chrome and glass. It works great on pipes. (NOT PLASTIC!) No scratches and gets off the scuffs and gunk. On my spokes though, I just use a 'spoke' brush with a good detergent/water mix to get the brake dust and grease. SOS pads on the white walls sounds like a good plan.  |
