Living almost in Daytona Beach I do have lots of motorcycle stuff nearby. I discovered J&P Cycles has all of this stuff so I set out this AM and picked up a $28 spray can of Plexus. I immediately tried it when I got home and sadly it did nothing. I even used a toothbrush to work it into the tight spots. My wheels aren't terrible but those stains have been there a while. Does anyone know if the wheels on a 1999 R1100RS are painted? I could spray them at next tire change. SOS pad seems like it would take off whatever finish is on them.
It is possible that nothing will make the wheels appear clean, even when they are. If BMW uses the same or similar paint/powder coat on the wheels that is used on the engine/transmission/swingarm then the wheels can be stained by some petroleum products including gasoline and some oils. The stain is semi-permanent but will fade in the sun given enough time.
