Default Fat bob wheels

What if anything will get them looking like new again. I try to keep up with them but it seems like nothing is working. I can see painting or coating them real soon!

I use a toilet swab to clean mine, the soft kind. Soap and water.

I hope you wiped oven cleaner offf that aluminum real quick,that **** is acid man. Shout apparently works really well,and you really gatta keep an eye on the back rim. The brake dust sticks and turns into a porous black glue. And that is where the shout seems to work.,so next time it'll be shout first and mother's aluminum polish,to finish up

The over cleaner worked in the 1/4 inch circle I tryed but I won't try any more thanks for the heads up. I don't have black rims but I'm gonna try the shout next and if that dosent work I will have black wheels as soon as I save up enough cash

I've heard of people using WD40 on a rag making sure that it doesn't get on the tires and making sure it is wiped off afterwards. I've done it a few times and it works ok.

I recently bought some S1000 spray. I was amazed at how it brought my wheels back to life. A little pricey, but worth it IMO. I'm actually pretty happy with how it worked for all of my bike...
