I wet them, spray with shout laundry stain remover and then use a spoke brush to get the spokes. Blow dry with a gardener blower. In between full washes I hit the chrome with a magic eraser and some chrome polish and the spokes with chrome polish.
How bout that ball that can be put on the end of a drill? Anyone try that/
You'll be cleaning more than the wheels those things throw polish everywhere . I put the bike on the jack , grab the little mechanics seat & 12 pk of Guinness and use enough bad language to make a drill instructor back up . That was the drill with the 80 spoke wheels I had .
for a lot of hard to clean area's of my bike, I use a boot shine brush & what ever cleaning stuff works best in that area. It's great for cleaning engine fins too!
