CLEANING TYRES????

(1/3) > >>

dwain dibbly:
i have a pair of red tyres that are in good condition
but are filthy!!
whats the best way of cleaning them?
will putting them in the dishwasher ruin them?
it worked a treat on my skyways ;D ;D

aerostylie:
Try a bowl of warm water with a squirt of fairy liquid and use a small sponge (like those used for washing up the dishes where the sponge has a smooth and rough side).

It may take some time and a bit of elbow, and depends how dirty the tyres are but it's good for shifting brake block marks off white/amber side walls for example.

Hope that helps....there may be better methods about, but this works fine for me :daumenhoch:.

jimwise68:
Lighter Fluid on a bit of cloth and rub away.  :daumenhoch:

Just don't try to re-enact Jimmy Hendrix doing Star Spangled Banner.

Etiher that or use Aerostylies method but let the missus do it as they always think they can clean better than men!  ;)

stidds:
When I cleaned my white GT freestyle tyres, I used Astonish cleaning paste and a toothbrush.  They came out like new.

brass monkey!:
any of the above, but don't put em in the dishwasher !!  :)
