You need a lot of time

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

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

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

Takes a lot of time and finger effort, especially if you have 48 spokes per wheel

At first you may think sod this, it's taking too long but it is well worth it

Took me about 2 days and I let my misses help out as well...result
