Tire Cleaning Tip

[CarsFreak]

I need some tips on cleaning all the old tire dressings off a tire besides buying a tire cleaner. Are there any products I could use that I would be able to find @ home?



I want to strip everything for a new fresh dressing.

If you don`t want to use a tire specific cleaner, all that`s left in the way of *household* products would be all purpose cleaners like Simple Green, 409, etc. With the availability of tire cleaners these days, I`d just recommend going to your local WalMart or AutoZone and picking up a decent tire cleaner and save the household stuff for the house.



My favorite tire cleaner is actually Westley`s Bleche White dilluted 50/50 with water and use a Viking stiff nylon tire scrub brush. It`s the one with the goofy looking handle and very short bristles. If you want even extra scrubbing power, you can use a metal wire (white wall) tire brush.

Well obviously the best option is a tire cleaner, but I have used the foaming Dow Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner in the past when I was in a pinch. Just scrub it in with a stiff nylon-brissled brush before rinsing. :xyxthumbs

I stopped reading right here. I wouldn`t use this stuff; it can cause cracking of the side-walls. Personally, I wouldn`t recommend it.

I have to recommend you get some Mothers Tire and Rubber Cleaner. It`s safe on paint if you get it on the paint or wheels. It`s really a great product.



I don`t like using products that will just do the job. I prefer to use products that are made for that job.

Agreed, though I use what used to be EO A2Z (now All Wheel and Tire Cleaner) and hit the wheels and tires all at once.

Tropi-Care has a new product that removes all silicone from your tires.

Another vote for A2Z!! Great tire and wheel cleaner. Why do one when you can do both at the same time?!?!

I want to strip everything for a new fresh dressing. You could always smear bacon grease on the tires and let a dog lick them clean... :D
