Wesleys Bleach White and a green rough top kitchen sponge does wonders for me..

To keep the white as snow look... just clean them once a week and do not let them get ahead of you...

Wesley's Bleach White with a soft brush works best for me too. I thought the Magic Erasers kinda sucked but alot of folks seem to like them.

I've used Westley's and Simple Green, but am concerned about the long term effects on the chrome rims. I know they both work well, but someone told me Simple Green will turn zinc plated spokes dull (on my dirt bike) so since both S.G. and Westleys are acidic, I was wondering if anyone has used either long term and can comment on if they experienced any ill effects on their chrome.
