Dear all,

Yes it does. I gather much information about it and I'm ready to buy
it. I guess it puts a protective film on it that does NOT attract
dust. I was originally sold on the idea of GT85, but someone in Amazon
said it didn't work for him.

My main priority is to keep chrome rims from rusting --and price of
course.

Wax your rims? Got hub brakes?

I meant fenders.

Laquer them, use hairspray.

Grease!

That'd be a pomade. An emulsion with wax. Not what I was thinking
but I guess would do fine.

You already use hairspray in your grips, right?

Just keep on going.

Maybe Vaseline is the way to go.

Seriously, I found a comment and the guy says he's been using Lemon
Pledge for years near the ocean and no rust.

I dunno about fenders but Pledge is great for stainless steel kitchen
appliances. keeps the fingerprints from showing much longer than windex
etc. alone.

Ditto: Been using Pledge for years to keep my bikes looking new with a
shine. Besides, it makes them smell "lemony" fresh.

I bought the Pledge equivalent at Walgreens. Their brand, 2 for 1
price, 5 bucks.

I tried furniture spray on some squeaky door hinges. It worked a treat.
Tomorrow I will clean off a new chain and try it on that.

Could you use furniture spray as a chain lube?

Finally it all makes sense:

MOST AMERICANS OWN THEIR BIKES AS A PIECE OF FURNITURE.

Deep, real deep.

Cleaned off old oil - sprayed some furniture spray - cycled a couple of
miles -seems to work. I'll do a longer rides over the weekend which will
explore how long it lasts and whether it picks up grit or not.

On chain? I'm using PB-50... Anyone has opinions?

It's cheap and some people use it on the chain. Notice the picture on
the can.

It say it's a water displacer, it does not mention molybdenum
disulphide. If its for anything other than a childs light duty cycle
I'd look for something else, like oil.

OK, I tried now Mr Wrench chain lube, equally cheap but hopefully
better.

If I MUST pay for a better quality I wouldn't hesitate to do it though.
