Can anyone recommend a good cleaner for my wheels? The rear wheel is really dirty probley because it's a pain in the rear to clean.I don't think the
guy I got my T from cleaned it it very often. I need something that will cut break dust.Thanks, larryacguy

I use Never Dull. It's a saturated soft wadding that you can get at Walmart and most hardware stores. Not expensive either.

I'm about to tackle this job, myself. I plan to start with 100% strength Simple Green degreaser concentrate in a squirt bottle, followed by a few mists of
water to keep the Simple Green from drying. Then hose off. After one more spray of Simple Green at full strength, I will use a stiff bristle brush to help
dis-lodge the thicker residue. I will follow up the final rinse with a good alum wheel polish and cleaner.
If I had the wheel off and the tire removed, then I would just acid wash the wheel with AC coil acid wash and then polish with a buffer. Stan

Guns90 & bamaTrider, Thanks for taking the time to post. I'll have to pick up some simple green and never dull and give them a try, maybe with a
little elbow grease I'll have those wheels looking good for the Eureka Springs ride. Thanks Larry |
