Hi folks
Just got back from a luverly spin around Wiltshire, gonna give the bike a mega clean tomorrow,
I want to get the oil off my nice gold wheels and bring the sparkle

back. Whats the best thing to use to get the oil from the chain off the wheels?

wd40 .. or baby wipes then wash em as per norm
WD 40 ? never thought of that, thanks

Wd40, or get yourself a cheap can of engine degreaser for a couple of quid.

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
Again with wd40 but you must degrease and clean after.
Wd40 leaves a coating on the surface which will attract all dirt and oil very quickly, I used to spray it on my number plate before we were allowed in bus lanes because it makes the number plate filthy within a week of normal riding, naughty me!
Some say...
Blimey don't time fly.
Thanks for the tips guys, did as suggested and the wheels came up luverly
'corse I've been out since then so I am going to have to do it all over again
Oil coming of the chain is a bit of a pain, I think I had better give that a good clean before I do the wheels again.
Any suggestions on best way/product to clean the chain?

Wurth wax all the way and their wheel cleaner (spray can) is great too
Better to stand and look a fool than speak and prove it !
If it aint broke, I'll fix it till it is !!
maybe you might want to look into sealing your wheels as well with a high durability hybrid sealant like fk1000p. the dirt will wash off with normal shampoo for a few months afterwards until you re-apply.
for degreasing things like chains etc I can recommend Bilt Hamber Surfex HD degreaser. great trade product which is diluteable for various applications.
