Wheel cleaners

[Guth_imp]

I use engine degreaser on my grey/silver wheels. I'll spray some on a rag or the wheel itself and it just destroys road grime and chain lube, it stands head and shoulders above the Maguiar's non-acid wheel cleaner I used to use. As soon as I've cleaned the grime off I'll rinse it with a hose.
I'm not sure whether or not this method is kosher but I find it extremely effective, I'm going to start waxing the wheels once they're clean as well as I've heard this makes them much easier to keep clean.

I did this the last time I gave my CB a thorough cleaning. I've done this with my car wheels in the past and it made it far easier to clean off dirt and brake dust that accumulated between washings. Not sure how it will fare with the "artwork" flung from the chain on a bike, but I'll find out soon enough.
