You need a lot of time :LolLolLolLol:

I use autosol for the spokes and toothbrush for the place near the hubs, remove the freewheel if you can, to clean behind for a top job :daumenhoch:

I used one of those green brillo pads to get the rust and dirt off,then the Autosol for a nice shine.  :daumenhoch:

Agreed Autosol, and I used a white dishcloth, the stringy type  :daumenhoch:

Takes a lot of time and finger effort, especially if you have 48 spokes per wheel :crazy2: At first you may think sod this, it's taking too long but it is well worth it :4_17_5: Took me about 2 days and I let my misses help out as well...result :daumenhoch:
