Default cleaning factory 600rr rims

Whats up. Hey since gas prices are amazingly high i have been taking my bike everywhere. One problem it is really dirty. Never really had to use more than water on the rims, because i usually clean it every other time i have it out or everytime. Just thougth i would see what you all used. I was thinking like "mean green" or something. Let me know what works best.

thanks

Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish, or Protect All are the absolute best at cleaning anything, It takes of chain lube like it is warm butter

I'm with you Oden. I've got the Protect-All which is GREAT stuff but I only prefer to use it when I'm shining the bike up. For cleaning dirt/grease/debris I use WD40 on the wheels all day long, works like a charm on breaking up that lube on the wheels.

Are you guys trying to kill people. C'mon - WD40??????????
Get some Castrol Purple stuff. It will clean the dirt off anything and leave your tires looking like new. If your wheels are polished aluminum I would advise against it though. It will oxidize aluminum.

Honda polish works ok, but I've been using this 3M brake dust cleaner/degreaser stuff that i bought for my car wheels. It cuts right through the gunk on the bike's wheels too.
