Some CRC on a rag to soften it. To make them easier to clean next time give them a wax polish.
Kero won't hurt anything either

sweet thanks maybe the wheels have been re-painted at some stage as a rag with kero seemed to be turning red (the colour of the wheels) which made me panic a little, crc makes sense though thanks
"channellling the Pleideans"
or WD40 (which is similar to CRC but smells better)

butter works too its thins the dried up oil
plastic fabricator/welder here if you need a hand ! will work for beer/bourbon/booze

kero is perfect if you have access to it. diesel will work just as well and is easier to get/cheaper/better lubricating properies. I wouldn't use anything else, and I have access to pretty much any cleaning agent you could think of. Kero/diesel will not damage normal paint jobs - if the paint is coming off it is a shit paint and doesn't deserve to be on there...
OK, so who's next?
Turtle wax bug and tar remover, and it'll make it easier to get off next time.

Don't forget to bring a towel
Try a bit of alcohol. It fixes everything.

A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

Kerosene is a good low cost way of removing most of the crap. WD40 is brilliant and removes the smeary left over from Kerosene. Only reason for using kerosene first is that it is a lot cheaper than WD40.
I have yet to see either of those products damaging paint or any other finish on a bike.
Here for the ride.
