Tire and Wheel Cleaning

[yegg]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to a simple wheel and tire cleaner? Ideally, because I am super lazy and would rather ride than clean, I would like something that sprays on after the bike is good and wet from cleaning the rest of it, and then I let it sit and hose it off. Then I can go on and dry the whole bike.

Is this process a pipe dream? Every time I see a product that looks like it may work, I read the directions and warnings and it says not to use on motorcycles.

I would like to stay away from the Harley wheel cleaner as I found it no better than just the standard soap.

Thanks.

I just take mine to the local dealer when they have free bike wash days.....and dream about the girls in bikinis riding on the back...probably a pipe dream for sure...

I use S100.......seems to work pretty good on those hard to reach areas.

So the S100 is good for both wheels and tires? I just want to make sure because I couldn't find that on their product sheet.

Been using Spectro Motorcycle Wash on my whole motorcycle, glossy paint, not denim.

Works very well on the wheels and tires. also use it in my windshield.

The problem with most wheel cleaners is they break down grease. On a motorcycle it can get in the calipers and wheel bearings. S-100, and Spectro are good overall cleaners for motorcycles.

I just set my bike up on a quick stand, and wipe the wheels with either bug slide or Adam's waterless Wash. Takes 5 minutes.

I have had good results with S100 on all of my motorcycles surfaces. I know that S100 also makes a wheel specific cleaner, but I have no experience using that.
