Finally riding a big boys bike
Not sure if posting a thread is really necessary, but I really want to tell everyone of a way I found to polish chrome rims.
Chances are this is something that many of you have known and done for some time.
Cut the elastic band from an old pair of underwear, then cut once to make a strap. Put a little Go-Jo on the strap, and run it back and forth like flossing between the spokes. With the tire off of course, I held the wheel between my feet and knees. If you cross your hands while going back and forth this will clean up the sides of the rim. (Only 35 more times to go!)
When you are done with that, do the same thing with the rest of the underwear and it will knock the Go-Jo off.
If threaded between the spokes strategically, around the hub, and back out, it does a decent job on the hub too.
It will not fix any pits but will get rid of discoloration quickly. Any pitting can be straightened out with foil as most, if not all of you probably already know.
I wish that I'd taken pictures of the wheel before so that everyone could see before and after
