Are there any really easy ways to clean the dust off the wheels? Its just so tough to get down there with a brush and scrub all of it off.

 

I use Eagle One Wheel Cleaner. Spray on, wash off, voila.

 

Honda cleaner and a shop towel. spray on, wait a minute or two, and then wipe clean.

motorcycle dealers use to it detail bikes on the showroom floor, and its killer stuff. i've used it on motorcycle helmet visors, windscreens, lights, my car... you get the idea. it takes off road grime and gummy residues like nothing else, and smells like Pina Colada

 

beware of rinse cleaners, if your wheels are painted they will eat at the paint, no matter what the bottle says. My local tune up parts shop sells a deep soft brush. I spray on Simple Green or Windex, brush around and rinse off. WIth this brush its not hard. When I rotate my wheels I use a cleaner wax to scrub them.

this stuff is bad ***!!! i have a can that i use on my wheels. it works pretty good as long as there isnt a month's worth of brake dust on there. it also make the paint feel really smooth.

 

where do you get this Honda cleaner?

i've been using the soap & water that i use to wash my car...seems like a mild alternative to some of these solvent cleaners.

 

any honda motorcycle dealer will have some, it comes in a red and black spray can. it also leaves a protective residue that makes it harder for stuff to stick to the surface, if you clean something with Honda Cleaner, stickers won't stick to it until you've cleaned the residue off with something else.

honda cleaner is also super mild, it won't take the paint off *anything* since its designed for cleaning painted and clear plastics, along with other surfaces.

 

okay, i'm sold...i'll pick up a bottle this weekend and give it a try.

if you've used it on your windshield with no adverse effects, i'm gonna try to clean my headlights with it!
