DUDE, meguiar's cleaner wax is the best and easiest way to clean off caked brake dust on wheels. plus i think its only $6-7...

best shit ever for making shiny, especially black wheels, and wont turn your black parts white, i use it on every part of my bike, motor, wheels, body, mirrors, gauges, etc

I probably don't clean my bike enough.

It gets about 3 deep cleans per season and several smaller wipe downs.

Does riding in the rain count???

Seriously not near enough. I wipe down the "bad spots" before riding but only really clean it a couple of times. I did do a good cleaning before putting it away for the season.

I use Lifter 1's bug and tar remover. It comes in an aerosol can so it doesn't run and drip down to your tires. Works awesome.

He's just jealous because I've been riding since he was five.
