I use Simple Green and a brush. It'll clean offthe brake dust and chain lube as well as taking that natsy brown coating off the tires.

Foaming Bathroom Cleaner. Spray it on, leave a few min and wash off. Easy.

WD40 cleans up the rims very easy and leaves a coat to keep the durt from attaching too fast next time

Absolutely love it !! [8D] The white rims caused me nightmares before i bought it, but are easy to keep clean using WD40.

WD-40? If that actually works I'll bet you have to be careful not to get any on the tread.

Just make sure yuou spray on the rims, and use a cloth to wipe off any spill on the tires, be sure NOT to spray on the chain.
Leave it soaking for 5 minutes, and use a cloth again or a sponge and lots of water to rinse the rims.
