Cleaning the Volk Gt-30's
 
How do you clean that little area underneath each spoke that remains dirty after washing with a wash mit cause it doesn't quite reach it??

I have a method, but before I reveal it, I wanted to know if anyone else is doing it the same way on the same wheels or any wheels that have a similar hard to reach area... These pics define the area I'm referring to.

I have a very thin cloth that slides up underneath the spoke that clean it very well.

Q-tip might work....

lol, yeah Q-tips would work, very, very slowly, fingers would probably start to hurt by the 3rd wheel and you'd need a buttload of them!

Anyone else have an efficient method??

I scanned the SEVEN pages in that thread and didn't see my issue addressed whatsoever, did I miss something?

I'm waiting to see if anyone does it the exact same way and I'm allowing ample time for responses...Check back tomorrow for my method. :thewave:

My method for getting that area of the wheel clean is an improvement on the "very thin cloth" approach that Blackjack uses. Using a small micro fiber towel from Costco, I cut my own custom shaped cloths that are very thin at each end to make insertion a breeze but I go very wide in the middle so when I pull it back and forth, it cleans top to bottom, side to side, all at the same time. I can clean two spokes at a time this way. Simple, but ingenious IMO, something you can’t buy, you just make the right size at home. I do this last after spraying with a pressure washer, then a soap and water scrub with a wash mit, rinse and then dry with an air hose, which just leaves me with a little dirty/brown area under each spoke left to clean.

Another simple/good idea, like using a medium size needle with some pliers to open/widen the place where you’re trying to insert your invisicord/stealthcord probes…
