1150 Wheel Cleaning

Adam · Dec 23, 2005

Every time I wash my bike, I spend about an hour cleaning the bike then about 2 hours cleaning the bloody wheels!

Is there a safe product out there that removes the grime off the rims easily without staining the metalwork. I have tested paint on type cleaner solutions, but they stain the rims, and then I have to polish them out with Autoglym metal polish.

Any suggestions?

Autoglym bike cleaner is what I use. Still takes bloody ages though. Got a brush from Halfords, that cleans the spokes, reasonably well., for about £2. Little thing....red..., can't be more specific.

What I haven't mastered is cleaning the hubs.

Bollox to everything posted here! The real GSers GS's wheels should look permanently like this:

It's a real men's tank to face hard reality, not a regular pussybike!

For polishing and other homosexual activities get the GSX-R or R1 or similar

Cheers, Margus :beerjug:

Cleaning Wheels & hubs

Pressure wash & diluted traffic film remover

Don't leave TFR on too long, 30 to 60 seconds, then pressure off, then spray with WD40.
