I have stumbled across a pair of wheels that have 'Redline' tyres on them with plenty of tread left.
The downside is the walls are very dirty as you can see.
Is there a secret to cleaning these up or is it just a case of hot soapy water?
I thought I would ask before I start in case I ruin them....assuming they are worth saving anyway ???
Thanks for your time :)

I used CIF and then this foam from Armorall, bought them up a treat and seems to be keeping them nice and supple.

Must concur with the above Cif [or Jif as i still call it] and a gently scrub with a nail brush
