    I put my bike up on the jack so the wheels will free spin and use Mother's Chrome Cleaner. I have heard that polish ball they sell that fits in a drill does a quick job of it too.

    i use a bottle brush...they come in different sizes. i also get the wheel off the ground so it will spin. after the dirt is off i use a small 1inch by about12inch strip of cloth, add the polish, then wrap each spoke one time with the cloth and use a sawing motion to apply the polish,,,,remove the hazed polish with another strip the same way......i love my mag wheels!!!!!!!! lol lol:)
