    Carwash soap on tires!

    Since I have so much soap(SuperSlick) left over after washing my car why can`t I use this and a tire brush to clean my tires? This way I won`t have to bring out another bottle of stuff ( or buy) to do my car.

    Im confused, why couldnt you? If the tires are browned or very dirty the soap may not clean them properly, but if they arent bad it will work fine.

    I have done that a lot of times but since I always put dressing on the tires after several applications they start to look brown.

    I like to use APC solution to clean the tires to start over again.

    Re: Carwash soap on tires!

    It certainly seems like it would be worth a try.
    Especially since you already have it at hand.
    I doubt that a wash product that is gentle enough to not remove wax is going to be strong enough to clean tires. You won`t know until you try it.

    Since you will already have your tire brush in hand, how much trouble would it be to spray some Bold N Bright on the tires and scrub them? Wipe them down after cleaning and you will have clean and dressed tires. I know this will work since It is what I do each wash.

    Re: Carwash soap on tires!

    No reason why I couldn`t or can`t I just never read on here where anyone has done that. It`s always an apc or a product specifically for tire cleaning.
    I`ll BnB for the dressing.

    yes it really would depend like said by all three in different ways that it depends on the condition of the tire and wheel as to if a stronger cleaner would be needed.

    Do u ever use BnB as a cleaner as well as a dressing?
    When sprayed on and scrubbed with a brush tha Bold N Bright does a good job of cleaning as well as being a dressing.

    Re: Carwash soap on tires!

    No I haven`t used B N B as a tire cleaner.I`ve always used Westley`s. Now that I have used the last of Westley`s I was going to use carwash soap for the cleaner as my tires hardly ever get excessively dirty.Then top with B N B .
