Default How do you clean your rear wheel?

Cleaning my bike today, I noticed chain lube on my rear wheel and it's hard to clean.

Is there any spray or cleaner that makes cleaning easy?

WD works great, then I use Windex or something like that just to clean of any oily residue from the WD.

I would guess that you have to be carefull to keep it off of your tires. That is probably why MgA_ODEN said to spray it on a rag first.

I normally use the wheel cleener from Wal-Mart, but I am going to try WD40 next time.

I use the wd-40 for inbetween washes, wheel cleaner if giving it a thorough wash.
