Just be careful with the ACF50, don't get it on your tyres or discs. Be tight with it. I usually have a cloth in a zip bag that has surplus on, that a rub on the spokes, still go slightly orange mind after a while
I expect you use ACF50 anyways, seeing as your bike lives outside.
That's super naughty painting the spokes to hide the corrosion, best to see it, to keep an eye on it.

If you work carefully, and do one spoke at a time, checking the wheel remains true every time, you should be able to replace the spokes yourself.

I've replaced individual spokes on cycle and motorcycle wheels before without wrecking anything. Assuming you use standard spokes, you need a 6.8 mm spoke wrench and the correct torque figure is 5.4 Nm

Yeah been using acf50 for a few years now and really like it I managed to get some on my peg rubbers I wont make that mistake again lol it's expensive but it does a good job I think I have noticed the new cans aren't as good as previous very spluttery the last few I've had.i also use a lot of Maguire carnauba wax makes cleaning a doddle

I buy it like this
Spray it on the plastics too, then rub it off with the cloth I keep In the bag, I go over the whole bike, with said cloth, shocks, swing arm, clocks everywhere. No need to wax as it comes up great.
That size bottle has lasted me 3 years so far and still has third left in it.

Agent orange took your advice and used a scotch brite removed the spoke cover things and acf 50 and rubbed all the paint and rust of and I'm well pleased well with the back wheel anyway as it took 2 hours so now to do the front thanks again buddy

that looks like it was more 'flung-off' chain lube than rust.

The front wheel is a different story lots of deep rust spots so needs more attention any ideas
