Get a large sealed container big enough to put your wheels in, add several bottles of cheap, own label supermarket bleach and some water to cover the wheels.  If leaving the hubs on the wheels take out the axles and bearings, cover in grease (bleach blackens alloy) and drop them in, stirring every couple of days.  More detail can be found in the "sticky" restoring tuffs thread above  :daumenhoch:

stick some bricks between the spokes if you can, will save you on bleach

hubs will rot. unless you really cover them. i have found an excess of copper grease to be good at defending against bleach.

ve found that cleaningthe mags well then submerging them in a water/bleach solution in a large bucket partially (not  covering the hubs )and turning occasionly works initially, then put them in the bath and pour raw good quality bleach domestos  on them covering them completly, leave until white , then turn over and do the same on the other side any stubborn bits after this just attack the areas with raw bleach and leave until white
