What do you guys use for the rear wheel ? I have spoked wheels and the rear one gets mighty filthy. Dirt and grease from the chain makes gets it dirty fairly quickly. To add to the problem, my bags have no quick release system. I have tried Simoniz rim cleaner for bikes, it does an ok job but not good enough for me. I've used mag cleaners for cars (not on my bike)but the good ones say to stay away from motorcycles ? I use the Simoniz with a little brush to go into the tight spots but obviously it's very time consuming. The lazy part of me was wondering if there was a quick way to do it.

Yes there is, and quoting Mick Jagger: "Paint it Black."

Is there something wrong with using Water? That's all I use. Isn't it just like being in the rain? Just curious.
