spokes - cleaning - are they coated?

[Geekay]

hi - i have a 2013 model ten ere worldcrosser - its in great condition at under 6000 miles, but the spokes have the usual signs of discolouration and corrosion :-(

I have been thinking of cleaning them - i was thinking something like a piece of scotch bright doused in ACF50 might have cleaned them up and left a little corrosion resistance behind.

Then i got to thinking if they were coated in anything or lacquered then using a mild abrasive wouldn't be the best idea - t have searched and a couple of threads mention that the spokes are galvanised is this correct?

and if so - would my ACF50 scotch bright be a good or bad idea? - what have others done? (other than just ignore them!)

thanks,
graham

The spokes are galvanized. Clean them with Never Dull or with Luster Lace. After you have cleaned them, use liquid wax after every wash to protect them.

Would using any metal polish work?

Autosol?? Toothpaste? Might try mine one day but so far Ive just left them dirty
