    I've always used wd40 on my wheels but I've never tried the Mr Sheen on them. May have to give that a try when im low on wd40.

    Paraffin works a treat - as I found out Today!
    Soaked my chain and sprockets (and then brushed them) in it and I also cleaned off all the crud on the wheels too!
    4 litres (£6 ish from B&Q)
    I have tried everything believe me, and paraffin is the best by far!

    Rabb, I haven't tried using paraffin to clean them yet.

    I have used methalyted spirits though, I use about 50/50 water mix and it does the trick on both bikes.
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
