Title: Cleaning Skyways - old subject, new question?
Post by: MartyC on December 04, 2006, 08:45 PM
When cleaning up a very, very dirty pair of Skyways how do you get the ingrained dirt out of the corners, especially around the hub area?

cheers

Marty

Did the dishwasher thing today, cleaned a lot of the dirt off but made feck all difference to the rest of the wheel  :LolLolLolLol:  Looks like more Wet and Dry and sore fingers to come  :LolLolLolLol: 

Still one of them has come up a treat so far but I think they will need the Dylon treatment  :daumenhoch:
