Cleaning Spokes on RKC
The spokes on my 2004 are looking pretty nasty....lots of brake dust and road grime. What do you guys use on these to make them look purdy again?
I'm all about doing it the easy way...but these are really bugging me and I will give them their due time and effort.
Does the S100 stuff really work?
Any other tips?

Agree with seniorchief56, just add an approximate pint of Crown Royal and they are fun to clean.

toilet bowl brush will get them clean but if u want them to shine its a tube sock and some chrome polish one at a time.
