Magic mushrooms , well that explains an awful lot . I guess you could drink it , probably good for the indigestion after all those mushrooms ! I once did way , way too many of them . I got narked with a barman coz he wouldn't give me a pint of money . After being thrown out of the pub , I ended up on the high moor chasing cows !

Was being sarcastic. X came with coated wheels (Black) Blue magic works well on aluminum. Is some messy stuff to use but it works.

I used the blue magic to buff some scuffs off of the chrome bearclaw. It worked great! In a hard spot I used 0000 steel wool. The wool left some very minor swirls, but only noticeable if you know where to look.
I "deep cleaned" the rims yesterday while installing TORS. Those touring rims are awful to try and clean. BUT they look way better, even with soap and water. I have the stuff to do a polish, but that is for a later day.
Where does the dirt come from!! Might be powder from the brake pads/rotors doing their thing. I don't get that kind of stuff anywhere else on the bike.

I guess I should get a tube of that Autosol in case the Blue Magic doesn't cut it.

Just had a set of headers Cerakoted, they do wheels also it turns out !
Much harder finish than powder and more vibrant colours .
Turns out some formula 1 cars wheels are Cerakoated.
Could be an option ?

Price per wheel? - I think Fuschia Pink with dayglow yellow accents would look lovely op on the moor. .
