Gave my bike a quick wash down today. How do you get all the crap off the wheel? Is wonder wheels the best product? Or should I be trying something else? I was tempted to get my Dremel out just so I could trying clean some of the dirt off

I use autoglym motorcycle cleaner on mine and an old pan brush, once clean and dry I soak a rag with wd40 and rub that onto the wheel avoiding the discs , all it takes then after a ride is a hose off with cold water. It works for me

I've used that Autoglym intensive tar remover before, it'll shift any stubborn stains.

Same as above .. get some Auto Glym wheel cleaner... hose the wheel first, spray on and agitate, spray some more on and rinse .. that should do the trick. When dry polish with Auto Glym .. this helps keep the shit off and makes it much easier to clean the next time. I always use latex gloves for bike cleaning now ( old age ) so it stops all the muck getting under your nails and staining your skin with all the road shite etc ...
