Tyre restore - kinda, Updated :-)

(1/5) > >>

MrD:
 ;)Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere on this site or if I am teaching anyone to suck eggs. I've read a few sites regarding the restoring of old tyres when I read that the white/milky residue on tyres was simply the wax out of the rubber itself, I had exactly this situation and didn't want to clean this off until I was sure it was all that could be done. I read that someone had put their tyres in the oven (can't remember the temp or time) in order to melt the wax back into the tyre, With this in mind I had a cunning plan. I am not allowed near the oven - well I am but its just better off if I don't learn to use it  ;)

The simple use of a heat gun does exactly what you need it to do without ever sacrificing the tyre. I held it about 6" away and pretented I was spraying something (not an Uzi) , the results are amazing.

Before & after pics - Absolutely nothing else was done between the before and after pics, I did video it too so I might see if I can post that up.
Cheers

MrD

Wow, amazing! Would using Mrs DTTDB’s expensive dyson hairdryer work?
