Canadian Motorcycle is in QC and Pete's is also in QC in Montreal. Blue streak is just out side of Toronto, but both CM and BS offer free shipping, so perhaps. There is a Rocky Mountain place but I think that is US and their shipping prices were right out to lunch.

- January 09, 2013, 17:48:33 PMHaven't had any issues with the oven cleaner damaging the wheels or the tires. It's one heck of a degreaser. You only need to leave it on for about a minute, then rinse off. it leaves the white walls skweeky clean. then wipe the armor all only on the whitewalls with a rag. Keeps stuff from sticking to the clean whitewalls.

- January 09, 2013, 08:51:44 AManything like oven cleaner will damage the tires, and all the tire manufacturers warn against using stuff like armor-all on the tires, dries out the sidewalls.....

- January 09, 2013, 08:44:32 AMmy rims are shiny and metal looking and feeling and have numbers an dletters stamped into them.
I am wondering if he did the oven cleaner on the rims or off the rims, but I am still thinking oven cleaner is pretty strong stuff and I am wondering if it would not damage the rubber itself. I am going to stick the Mr. Clean Magic eraser.

- January 09, 2013, 08:27:42 AMYeah, mine are chrome with stamped numbers too.

- January 09, 2013, 08:17:55 AMMine are engraved with part numbers or stamped I should say. All chrome rims Ive ever had had a liquid chrome surface finish. Im tending to think the 99's may have been stated as chrome. But I think they used that term pretty loosely. Maybe If I got off my butt and tried to polish them instead of just cleaning them with a scrub brush they might shine a bit more. Thanks for the info.
after lookimg at the rims it appears theyve had steel wool used othem so, it can be polished.

- January 09, 2013, 07:57:02 AMMine just look like stainless. But Chrome they don't look like. I guess when I think of chrome I think thick chrome mirror finish. And that word covers a pretty wide spectrum I suppsoe.
