Detailing Black wheels + was created by supercharged
Anyone have anything they love to detail black LTD wheels with?

I am noticing the black is wearing thin or there is a wax buildup noticable - white-ish look to the black.

While I'm thinking detailing... and favs for the black plastic (indicator housing).

One more... anybody ever armor all there black engines. This looks awesome (saw it as shows), but not sure what would happen when it heats up, say if the engine was actually used :unsure:

Some may disagree, but I routinely Armor-all the plastic housings (switch-blocks, etc.) with a rag soaked in the stuff. I also use Armor-all on the black motor parts as it keeps them looking very nice and causes no harm to the motor. I do not use Armor-all on the painted body parts or the seat, particularly if you are going for an immediate ride...you'll slide right off the scooter:)

Same here, I use a small sponge and spray some Formula 2000 on it and wipe down my black wheels, exposed frame, handle bar switches, and anything else black. A little time consuming but worth it! ;)
