I've mentioned this before on the list. Use some orange hand cleaner
(the type of stuff designed to get the nastiest grease and grime off
your hands.) If you use the stuf with pumice go very gently on the
wheels so as to not scratch the paint. You'll be amazed at how easily
the grub comes off (when it seems nothing else would take it off.
