Cleaning my 20" 2SS rims
Just thought I'd pass along alittle tid-bit. I got tired of banging my hands trying to clean the inside of my rims to remove the brake dust etc...
Found this ducting brush at a local store. And the idea popped into my head. Wow, I stick it to my bucket of soap and water this would reach in deep and allow me to clean the entire inside of my rims. Perfect. And it really works great. And it only cost me a couple of bucks...

That looks like a good idea. Every time I wash the rims, I usually end up mashing the tops of my hands. In order to really clean the rims and wheel wells, I pull off all of the tires, one at a time, and go to town cleaning. A bit of work, but worth it in the end.
Thanks for the tip!!

Stick a mouse in there and tell him it's an exercise wheel. After he runs around it a few time pull him out and discard. Catch another and continue on the next wheel.

I use S100 total motorcycle cleaner on my polished 20's. Spray it on, hose it off, no scrubbing, no scratching and the wheels are clean and shiny, the inner portion of the wheels also. Any MC shop has this for about $12.00 per quart.

This works great as long as you have a drill to attach it to.
