Best technique or prodect for cleaning laced wheels.
The older I get the lazier I get. Does anyone have some tricks or secrets to cleaning laced wheels other than running a rag between each spoke? This brake dust is killin me! I am terrified to try any of the wheel cleaning sprays. If there is one thats safe and works I'll try it though.

Tagging this one - I'm interested in the same info. I found this stuff but havent used it (yet)... http://ppcbest.com/real_wheel.htmMaybe someone else has? I'm worried about the clear-coat on the "profile" rims.

I market an item called "Clean Wheels to help in the cleaning / maintenance of yourwheels. Using your cleaning solution (I use Westleys) and a tapered bristle brush you will get excellent results. The Clean Wheels allows the rotation of the wheel without having to move the bike 8 times to clean both sides on each wheel.

HoosierHog.....are you referring to the bike or the Clean Wheels? I sell the Clean Wheels for $65 plus shipping. It will handle ANY motorcycle on the market up to 600 lbs total weight on ONE wheel, which means anything HD makes.

I used an EAGLES product made for wire wheels, on my car. it did a great job with the brake dust. HOWEVER, it is a 2 part spray - gotta use both parts! I found it at WalMart.
