#265912 easyrider003 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 806 Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   What does everyone use to clean the wheels while mounted on the bike and how do you manage to get in there to actually clean them?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #265944 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I use s-100 on mine and it works great. Sometimes a good soapy rag works too.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #265971 oneperfectrun (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 893 Re:Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I use a soapy wash mitt to clean as much as possible. For in between the spokes an for the hub I use a brush I bought at walmart. It's for dishes and I forget what it's called but it's used for cleaning down inside of cups and glasses. It goes right between the spokes and will easily reach the hub. Does great on the wheel between spokes also. Cost a dollar or two. Works heat for me. Can also use it to clean other tight places on the bike.   Logged     Any old hippie that knows a pan head also knows a Roadie aint one! .......takehikes   The administrator has disabled public write access. #265973 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I use seafoam.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #265976 caffinated1 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 150 Re:Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   oneperfectrun wrote: I use a soapy wash mitt to clean as much as possible.

Just as a side note, can you get 90 degree valve stems for the front tire (just like the rear) because getting the pressure gauge or even the air chuck onto the one I have is a grande pia with those big ol' rotors   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #266009 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7083 Re:Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Just cleaned mine up yesterday. I put the bike up on my jack, remove the saddle bags (ghost brackets) and for the first good cleaning of the year, I did them all by hand one at a time with Honda cleaner (works great on most parts of the bike) When I was happy with the spokes, I went back and cleaned the tires with Westley's white wall cleaner and a stiff brush, rinse and repeat on front tire.   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #266014 rand1965 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 545 Re:Wheels cleaning 2 Years, 2 Months ago   MS1700 wrote: I use seafoam.

I have used it on all my bare metal and chrome. It cleans and leaves a clear coat to protect the parts. I have used s-100 but it actually lifted some chrome plating from my ride. It also says that it should not contact any electric wires. For my paint, i use liquid glass. It cleans and then leaves a small layer of glass on my paint. That glass get deer and deeper with every application thus the paint looks deeper with each application. Let me know if you cant fins either and want to try it.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access.
