I use a green scrubby, garden hose, and any spray cleaner I can find, You'd be surprised what will come off. They're not perfect but they're pretty close.

Stock Ultra wheels suck when it comes to keeping them clean. Mine looked 10 years old after just 1500 miles, and it was beyond cleaning. I opted to do the chrome exchange.

Anyone have chrome fatboy wheels? I do and need a good cleaner. Are you guys using the s100 wheel cleaner or the polishing soap?
Living between the ocean and the bay does not help either.
Thanjs,vinnie
