Flaky wheels

#1 PostAuthor: stevie g » Tue Jun 11, 2013 7:45 am

Hi Guys, just bought myself an immaculate zephyr 11 except the polished part of the wheels are starting to flake. I thought they would clean up with a little Autosol but no. They have obviously been laquered, didn't think Kawasaki laquered their alloy. Don't think they used to. Anyhow does anyone have any tips on removing it ? thanks $tevie.
