cleaning stock wheels 700 '89

posted by  someone claiming to be steve m on  Sun Nov 19 01:58 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Anyone got a good way to clean brake dust off the stock wheels with the 2" square "pockets" connecting the outside rim with the flat wheel cover center?

I tried Castrol "Super Clean" spray, zero residue brake parts cleaner + a couple other commercial wheel cleaners, they're "not" no touch. I have to "tooth brush" each cavity which is a pain, but they look really nice when clean.

I also sealed the depressions with clear lacquer hoping that'd be more slippery than the silver paint, but it's not.

Best way I've found is a thin limp nylon scrubber with dishwashing liquid and water for cutting it.

Your suggestions please.
