Re: Cleaning a wire wheel

There are special brushes available, kind of like old radiator brushes but with a wooden core instead of steel. But it my experience they are only marginally useful, I hate to clean wire wheels but when I do I use old tooth brushes. My wires (on my 34) are painted so I just use any conventional cleaner/wax, if yours are chromed you might have to do them twice, once with a chrome cleaner and then a wax. I use an old tee shirt with my finger inside, plan on about 1 hour per wheel, at least, to go a good job. To say that it's tedious is an understatement.

If anyone has a better way, I'm all ears.
