Boyd's wheel center caps -- one of the caps was "cleaned" on the wire wheel (comparison to one that was not)
 |
| After wire wheel... |
 |
| Could not get into this area with the wire wheel. |
 |
| Used steel wool to clean up the area... |
 |
| The one on the right has not been wire wheeled... |
 |
| To get it to the finish that these originally had, you would have to use a buffing wheel... |

One of the Boyd's wheel center caps -- before and after some steel wool in just a section of cap
Before
After (not a dramatic difference)
Mavic Aksium Race wheel -- In the process of cleaning corrosion on the spokes... About half way there.
The pictures below shows one of the spokes that has been sanded and steel-wooled. This spoke was cleaned more than the others to see what it would look like with a lot of sanding & cleaning... This was too much work. I don't plan to clean the spokes to this extent. There are twenty spokes and two flat sides for 70 surfaces to clean. It would take a very long time to clean all the spokes to be this clean and shiny. I plan to make all the spokes black (paint) so it doesn't matter too much.
