I've been using a mixture of what is stated in this thread for a while, but there's two things that always give me a bit of trouble and was curious if anyone had any tips...
1. What's the best way to get at the hubs (without the need to re-lace a wheel that's not in need of it) and make them as respectable as anything else that you're polishing? I've got larger hands so it's always a bit of a struggle.
2. Living in Minnesota, at this time of the year, it's a bit difficult to properly address a bike with water. Especially when bringing in a bike that hasn't seen it in years. The gal isn't thrilled about an initial (semi-contained) rinse in the basement laundry room and with a garage that's not heated, there's not a lot of options. Is the best course of action just hang it up and wait for spring?
