    I have really big tires. 37". I have built up tire dressings and who knows what else.

    I`ve tried a few things to clean them, soap, Dawn detergent, windex etc.....

    They are not coming clean and they`re streaky. What can I use to clean my tires that will just leave them clean and not dried out?

    The tire shine always comes off mine if I drive it in the rain for a ways. The front tires wont come off as clean, but the tire shine always comes off the rear.



    I use Bleahe White, which is some crazy strong stuff and it never brings it all off. I would say it would take a couple times to really get it all off.



    What kind of truck do you have 37" tires on!

    Castrol Super Clean undiluted with a scrub brush - if that won`t get it clean, nothing will.
    Once you buff black, you never go back

    Most APC`s at full strength will do the trick. We have been using Amazing Roll-off with great sucess on the built in grime (brake dust, dirt, old tire shine). We just pre wet the tire, spray Roll-off, let it dwell for a few then go after it with a brush. The brown sludge that comes off is a real eye opener.

    I have been using Eimann Fabrik Tire Cleaner. So far, I am pleased with it.

    Also, Mother`s makes a tire cleaner but I haven`t used it.

    You can get the Eimann Fabrik product here.

    Don`t forget to use a fairly stiff brush with the cleaner. Let the cleaner dwell a bit and then brush it with a wet scrub brush and hose it off. Works for me.

    Sweet looking truck there Rose!

    I wish mine looked that good.

    I`m sure it took a lot of hard work, sweat and many hours to complete it.

    You should be very proud of the work you have done!

    +1 for the HiTemp Tire cleaner. I`ve used lots and it`s the best so far.
