I'm interested in cleaning wire wheels, not so much in the cleaner but rather
the tool to use. Before any major show I actually pull the wheels to thoroughly
clean them, so the twice a year task (spring and fall) takes care of lubing the
splines as well. I'd like to know the consensus of what everybody uses other
times.
Moss has their $10 brush (does it work?), and tooth brushes take forever, but
is there something else?
Thx, John
