Any tips for cleaning our cool wire wheels?

Many thanks Chris! Did NOT know about not using citrus!

I’ve always used Naval Jelly , it removes grease and rust .Apply with a toothbrush and rinse off after a hour .

How long does it take to accumulate enough jelly to do four wheels?

Edit: Ah, naval vs navel. My error.

I never knew what naval jelly was made of.
Yikes, phosphoric acid and Sulphuric acid.
Many other wheel cleaners also have acids.
Begs the question , to use or not because of the spokes and all the places it can collect

I used it to remove rust, then I would copiously rinse it with a baking soda solution of water.

After I clean my wheels, I spray them with a anti brake dust spray that really helps

Soap and water is best. The HARD part is of course the brushing of hundreds of lil chrome wires!!

LoL

Here is before and after cleaning with Noxon, toothbrushs, rags and shoelaces. Mostly done by my wife while on the deck during a summer a long time ago.

Its safe , as long as you don’t eat it .I’ve used it on my wire wheels for yrs It doesn’t hurt the chrome just the rust and tar .

It takes 1-2 hrs off and on to clean a wheel .

Great picture!

I think Turtlewax for Chrome would be equally awesome-------IMHO

I use microfiber–small, damp and with a little Dawn xxx—insert and push thru bit by bit using a flexible plastic tube, in places my fingers can’t get to…

Excellent ! Thnx Nick!

Lookin good
And using a baking powder solution as per , Paul W. to neutralize any worries of the acid remaining in the threads and other parts is a great idea
