Scrubbing Bubbles Tub & Tile Cleaner. Better than any spray on wheel cleaner and cheaper.

But then you should still polish chrome IMO

Glare Ultra Wash (on everything).....if that won't get it clean due to grease, etc...I use the S-2 spray cleaner.  But, be sure to rinse that off very good or else 'corrosion' could mysteriously appear.  :-X spyder

Prefer the Glare Wheel Cleaner, but when I run out of that I use Meguires foam wheel cleaner.

Before a wash, i hit the wheels with Purple Cleaner diluted 50/50....then hose off..Every spec of dirt/grease is gone. Then follow up with a normal soap and water wash.. I do the same with my vehicles. Easiest way i know of to clean all that road grime off wheels.   :2vrolijk_21:

I do the same thing as CVOBIKER only with Simple Green diluted 50/50 with water, rinse, then wash with soap and water, same thing on chrome truck rims.

Eagle One wheel/tire cleaner. Does a great job on brake dust and not harmful to the rubber, makes the brown dirt just roll off the tires. Using Scrubbing Bubbles is pretty scary, this stuff is largely chlorine. You know what chlorine does to concrete around your pool if you spill it and don't clean it up? Can't believe you would get it around the bike.
