D@MN Spoked Wheels! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I like the look of the spoked wheels on my bike, but they are a serious pain in the rear to clean. Anyone have any tips on cleaners or easier ways to clean. I'm looking for anything here.

HELP!

Have you tried a spoke brush made specifically for that? It's still a pain, but easier nonetheless.

There's a current thread going on the amazing benefits of WD-40 and Pledge in cleaning a bike. Search and see if you can find it. I'm too lazy right now to link it.

I picked up a 'lug nut brush' at the auto parts store, an odd brush designed to clean chrome lug nuts. But becuase of its design, basically three loops of brush, it is perfect for spokes. I spray on some CASTROL SUPER CLEAN and take a minute to brush it, then rinse, and the spoked wheels look great.
