What's the issue?

Soap & Water with a soft rag or wash mitt and hose'em off.

Put a good coat of paste wax on them and the dirt comes off a lot easier.

Replace HD brake pads with Lyndall brake pads and no more brake dust, so the wheels stay cleaner longer.

Lot of options out there...............

Come on guys, it does take a little patience, the right tools/gadgets and common sense to maintain and enjoy our rides......or pay the HD man big money to do it for you....

That pressure washer sounds good. One fella on here said he just sprays a cleaner on, lets it sit for five or ten and power washes it off. A rag or mitten never touches it. But how much pressure is no good for it?

I have an 09 Police and I hate the butt ugly SG wheels it came with. I'd much rather have the cast 28 rib wheels. Even with a lil extra cleaning.
