Just part of why I prefer black Anodized, over something I need to maintain a polish on..
Old school .. hanging a piece of leather around your hub, with a little weight where you join them
makes it self polishing, as you Ride..
Spokes , if older Zn coated, leave as is , the grey is there to resist rusting.
