    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

With spring upon us I have been working on the cosmetics of my bikes. This is new for me. I have had pretty good luck cleaning up cases and paint but now I want to move in on the wire spoked wheels of my 77 GS750B. any recomendations on how to get and keep them sparkling?
 
I use autosol, a bit expensive but it goes a long way. Ted
 
I will second the Autosol - it is far better than any of the others I have tried.

Can you guys look and see if the Autosol says it is ok to use on black chrome? I got some Mothers chrome polish in a bottle, but it is too gentle. I also have some Mothers polish that is a paste that works awesome on chrome chrome, but it says not to use on black chrome. Where do you buy Autosol?
 
Black Chrome

Black Chrome

Not sure about the good ol' U S of A, but almost all of the auto parts dealers in Canada stock it. If you have black chrome be aware that it might be scratched by autosol. You might want to try "Silvo" which is the silver polish brand of "brasso". If you have any shops in your area that deal with custom bikes or cars drop in and ask about this. Over the years I've asked a multitude of questions from dozens of shops and always found the people helpful, and made a lot of new friends in the process. Ask, listen and learn.

I will try to have a look at the tube when I go home. I use the paste that comes in a little metal tube. I just get it at the local car shop. Dad has some autosol that is liquid and is less invasive than the paste.
