If you have an air compressor, you can buy a (solvent sprayer) and spray soapy water and compressed air.

Put the bike on a lift and rotate the wheel as you clean it. I only see my wheel when I check the air pressure. I don't worry too much about whether it is clean or not. It does get a good cleaning once a year when I change tires.

I did mine with very fine steel wool and kitchen soap. I am sure there is a better way but it worked for me. Take off both saddle bags, put bike on center stand and have a seat on the ground. My wheel was beyond nasty when I cleaned it this year. Just re-read and realized you have a "new voyager" I have a xii

Dow scrubbing bubbles work wonders, but don't let it dry.
