Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt,
mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels after
riding through any of these substances. Use a
wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff
brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing
abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and
dry with a clean cloth.
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance
The exhaust pipe and muffler is stainless steel
but may become stained by mud or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge
and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse well
with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft
towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a
commercially available fine texture compound.
Then rinse by the same manner as removing
mud or dust.
