SuperCups - Keeping them clean?
I recently purchased a new set of 18' Kinesis SuperCups for my C2S.
1. Is there anything I can do in advance to make future cleaning (inside the wheels) easier? Like spraying with Silicone, Mothers polish/wax, WD-40?
2. Two 18" hollow spoke wheels got damaged by the tire tech on removal of SO2's. How much will it cost to have them repaired/painted? Or should I just send them to Wheel Enhancement for replacement... Heck, I wouldn't mind trading them for 17" hollow spokes for the track... better tire availability for smaller wheels.
Thanks in advance, ChrisK

Good tip is to heavily wax the wheels with either a neutral boot polish (G Wax) or a good quality furniture wax, no need to buff it up on the inside rim, just keep adding coats.
On the outer face it will buff up really well and keeps the brake dust from damaging the rims.
