cool tool from HF 4 Years, 8 Months ago  
next time your in HF, check out their 2"x 2-1/2" tapered buff. It's all cotton, chucks onto your battery drill. It's great for cleaning/polishing spokes & hard to reach areas. It's only $3.49 part#65001

Thanks for the tip. Have to go check it out. I feel like I spend more time cleaning than riding. I need something more efficient than just cloth and hands . It takes foooorreeeeeeeeeever after each ride.

I'll give it a looksee. I've tried the foam cone from Mothers for a few times now. When I was polishing the aluminum for my homemade light bar,, I used the cone in my drill press. I was thinking then, that something a little bit stiffer would be better.

Boy that looks a lot easier than my method of cleaning spokes. And that is, Lots of BEER and Lots of Patients. The patients starts to get thin by the time I reach the back wheel or maybe it's the cooler getting empty.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.
