... sprayed onto a soft rags works, or you can buy a can of Turtle's "Bug and Tar Remover" from Canadian Tire that works as well, and both won't mar your paint at all.
Work like a charm, and then wash with soap immediately afterwards.

I decided to clean my wheels and was using WD-40. It did a great job of removing all the oil, grease and brake dust from the front and rear wheels. I just liberally sprayed it on all over the wheels, calipers and rotors to get everything nice and clean and shiny but now my brakes don't work very well. When I pulled out of the garage and I almost ran into the neighbor's garage on the other side of the alley because I couldn't stop! :eek
Should I just let the bike sit so the extra WD-40 can evaporate or do I need to clean my brakes with something else now? I'm hoping to get this fixed so I can go riding this afternoon.
DO NOT use wd-40 anywhere near your brakes. If you're gonna use it on the wheels, spray it onto a rag then wipe the rim. Keep it off the tyres as well.
spray on rag and wipe down everything that has fling off. Then clean those areas with soap and water. Put a coat of wax on your rims and it is easier to clean after.
