Cleaning up nicely. Used some Meguiars Hot Wheels chrome wheel cleaner and SOS pads on the back side. Soaked them with the Meguiars, let sit for a few minutes, and moistened the SOS pads with the wheel cleaner, as well as used it as a lubricant and rinse. Pressure washed with soap and the coin op engine cleaner, rinsed with "spot free rinse" and repeated the process.
The before photos don't do how dirty they were justice. The first round of cleaning I went through two SOS pads per wheel. The second round of cleaning only took one as it was just getting a few dirtier spots off.
I will probably bring one in each night and polish and wax the front and back as I watch tv. My wife will be more accepting of that versus the usual shenanigans of rebuilding carburetors on the kitchen table.
