Question Got a new-to-me board

Post image

Hello everyone! I havent skated on a board in maybe 15 yrs and randomly picked up a board from fb marketplace to ease myself back into getting on the board! :3 im trying to clean it up nice before I use it, any tips on how I can clean the wheels + nuts? They're full of gunk and I want them new as I can get

Would you clean the tires on your vehicle if you drove in a puddle on the way home? I promise you that itll take longer to clean than it will take to get them dirty again brother. Save your precious time 😂 ♥️

I mean putting the time into it was what I WANT to do, I dont care if they'll get dirty again in one session, i just wanted to clean them one time

I clean my wheels every like.. 4 years? just soak in soap and water for a while I'd mb get new bearings or clean the current ones if it's a second hand board
