Whats the best and quickest way to get slime and dirt off the rim?

GF got a puncture at the monster and got slime everywhere when putting a tube in the. Finished the ride and it collected a lot of dirt. So far i have gotten most of it off with just rubbing it with a cloth but it is a lot of work.

Anyone got a quicker solution?

Try q20 or even baby oil. Don't know for sure if it will work but they are good for getting an number of sticky substances off surfaces.

To much rubbing and it can damage the paintwork. But if you're careful it will get it off.

What was she doing out of the kitchen

Eish have you seen her cooking. Like shw says Her sister is a head chef at some fancy 5 star resort and took all the cooking genes and what was left her brother took...... Cycling is safer for her :whistling:

 

Thanx for the replies. Got Q20, thinners at home. Will try over the weekend. Wonder if parafene would not be better than thinners.

Eish, royal mess....Q20 will do the trick, just keep away from hubs and rotors...unless you are keen for round 2 of the dogbox

Spray some cleaner/degreaser on and leave to sock for 20mins then come back and rub vigorously , repeat as is necessary. Will come off

Just a rag. Rub it till your fingernails feel like peeling off.

I have been doing that. Now i can rob a bike shop as there is no fingerprints left on my fingers :-)

Ja i tell you the points have been climbing everyday as each day one if the flowers i bought opens. Best money I have spent in a while.

Going to start with Q20 and move through the list and end with a blow torch if i have to. At least if i mess up then i go down in a ball of flames.

Change the rag to a microfiber cloth - works about 10 times as well as a normal cloth - don't ask me why..

 

Now - anyone know how to take dried stans off cycling kit - post washing?
