It pays to have a variable speed drill and have it set to full speed, and reverse helps when cleaning. I use the hack saw blade and hold it up to the wheel in forward and then reverse to keep wheel clean.

Plain spray lacquer clear coat often doesn't hold up to heat very well long-term, nor is it made to hold up to the severe conditions encountered on motorcycles.

Yamaha used to have a thick clear coat designed to use on polished aluminum engine cases. Maybe they still make it.

Dupli-color and Rustoleum both make clear gloss engine paint that holds up pretty well. It isn't as convenient to use as plain old clear gloss lacquer, and the finish needs to be rubbed a bit if you want a "wet" look, but it is WAY more durable.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

The good clean aluminum parts like the risers of the s40 etc will polish out rather well. The turn signals brackets are a bit dirty aluminum. Polish up they will, but they would be needing to be polished pretty often or they get tarnished rather quick.
Cool.
Srinath.

Paint them with Dupli-color or Rustoleum clear gloss engine paint.

The bike shop suggested I try this as the mineral oil keeps parts coated due to its thickness, and the synthetic oil moves around the engine quickly on start up. It should be good at $73 for 4 litres. unfortunitly I brought it from a Yamaha shop...
