What do you guys use to clean your spoke rims, got a few spots having a heck of a time cleaning

 

Yea, cleaning the front wheel really sucks!! I use a small sponge, a can of Dupont 7 chrome polish, and 5 or 6 beers. It just takes time, also I put in Lyndall dustless brake pads, makes a big diff without the corrosive dust. Good luck.

 

Done the 8 beer polish today was hoping for some better news I guess Thanks DECON BLUE

 

Bike lift to get her up in the air, water, non oil based solvent/cleaner, water, brushes, water, elbo grease, more solvent, water.

 

I tell you I use soap and water and a spoke brush, then dry and wax, time consuming but worth it. I love it when cleaned and polished

 

If your talking about cleaning the spokes I use a long (I thinks it's a 54") shoe lace. Put a little soap on, wrap it around spoke, pull it back and forth. Baby bottle brush for in between the spokes. 8 beers helps too.

 

Shoe lace....thats a damn good idea! Im gonna try that one. Oh yeah already had about 8 beers.

 

I use acid mixed with some water, then wash it with soap and water. Just dont let the acid sit to long or bye bye chrome.

 

Wet it down and spray it with Shout! laundry stain remover. Rinse it off thoroughly. If you wanna be really **** get a shoelace or microfiber and put some spray cleaner (Hondaline, Pledge,Purple Slice whatever) or metal polish on it and clean thoroughly. Since I have fat spokes it's a little easier, but still a PITA.

Do not attempt to clean all spokes when you are in a rush. This is a time consuming task.

 

I did this routine last weekend using a lightly abrasive non-scratching
flat-scour-rag (kitchen section of your supermkt), a medium-bristle toothbrush, mothers chrome cleaner (awesome stuff), 3 beers and a
1/3 bottle of Heaven Hill Bourbon Black ... looked so good at the time ...
this weekend I'll give it another go ... just without out the HHBB
