(First order of business: Yes, I tried searching the forums. Nothing I could find on the following topic )

I have two old rides that have, over time, become rather tarnished and dirty along the spokes from much riding and not much attention - one is a recent Craigslist find, the other my first love. I've tried several conventional and unconventional cleaning methods - Pedros Orange Peelz, SimpleGreen, Turtle Wax Chrome Polish with Steel Wool, and Lemon Juice and tin foil - all of which have given me less than incredible results...and required a very high level of effort.

I did a couple of queries on the web and ran across some bikers (the other kind...leather, harleys, bandannas and such) who swore by "Shout" as a painless dirt & grime remover for spokes and wheels, saying it's a proven winner that wins converts whenever they try it.

So knowing that some of the best vintage bike-cleaning tricks and methods are borrowed from classic car restorers and other sources, I think I'm going to give the Shout method a try later on...but wondered if anyone else has ever given "Shout" a shot?
