    Re: Can`t seem to get tires clean

    Zep Citrus 1:4. Sell it at Lowes by the gallon and its cheap. Its a great APC especially for tires, engines, and wheel wells. Its also safe for many wheels but when in doubt I will use OPC on the wheels.

    ^This (Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner). Try it if you can. Might need to order online as I don`t know if anyone sells it locally. Get the brush too. Really stiff, short bristles that do a nice job of cleaning. Even using water based tire dressing, my tires will still take about 4 rounds of the tuf shine twice a year to get the foam to white.

    Forget it. You have the tires that don`t shine right. I`ve dealt with similar tires before

    I think they will be able to be cleaned. They have shown an improvement over when I got them from using the stuff I have here at home. The stuff I have just isn`t cutting all the way through it.

    I`m confident that with the products suggested above that I can get them clean.

    I have my plan of attack now, in going to start with simple green and if that doesn`t work try some purple power. If both those fail then move to the bleeche wite. I see that the bleeche wite is some pretty nasty stuff so that`s why I`m sort of making that my last resort. I don`t want to risk damaging my rims.

    What chemical is being used to clean the tires? Tire dressings are designed to protect, not clean. I really like TUF SHINE Tire Cleaner.

    I have tried the back to black tire renew and dish soap. I am going to get the products I listed above this week to try and clean this weekend.
