Spoke Wheel Cleaner
Whats some good spoke wheel cleaner. I just bought a 2000' V star and don't think the spokes saw much attention. Whats best way to get a few years of grime off them? I did a dozen or so spokes on front with a bog sponge, got a decent shine back but not easy gettin your fingers between spokes to clean. Is there a special spoke brush I can get to make job easier? I spent most of weekend polishing and waxing it twice. Looks great now except for spokes.

Re: Spoke Wheel Cleaner
I've found chain cleaner works really well for cleaning wheels/spokes. If that doesn't work, try Stripper Juice. Yes that's an actual product lol. Works well!

Re: Spoke Wheel Cleaner
Anyone using one of those Mothers Powerballs for their spokes and rims? I've been thinking of getting one...

Re: Spoke Wheel Cleaner
I have a brush like a baby bottle brush only much stronger and tapered. Its from Victoria British,
designed for sports car wheels. Works fine with soapy water.

You may use eagle 1 all wheel cleaner and after cleaning it protect and shine it with mothers power ball.
