Default Flossed The spokes Tonight

I finally finished flossing the spokes tonight. 3 hours on the front wheel and 3.5 hours on the rear wheel. As I only know this way of cleaning the spokes and have since age 13, tell me someone out there knows a better and easier way to clean the spokes?

One of the joys of having Spoked Wheels ... But they sure do look nice when the're cleaned up and shiny!

I have not tried this combo. I have never see that brand of polish nor the Flitz polish ball. I think we may have a Mequires Polish ball here. I have heard of Flitz as I use it to clean my SS weapons. Have you used this combo and what results are you seeing with it?

Will post up some pictures soon.

When I bought my 07 SB in 2011, the previous owner didn't take care of the wheels. Rust all over the spokes and I thought I wasn't be able to clean them. Friend talked me into Flitz ball, I tried it and cleaned the rust completely in minutes. I do not have picture of my wheels before and after, all I can show you is my polished sliders. I can fool ppl that they are chromed lol.
