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
-
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:.

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! ;)

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

The Astonish I use is a general cleaner which comes in paste form in a tub. Try this link mate:

Ta,
So a bit of paste on a toothbrush scrub away and presumeably wash off with plain old H2O?
-
Bit o' paste on said toothbrush, a little bit of H2O on top of paste (just to lubricate), scrub away (not too much pressure needed), wash off any residue with more H20. Job's a good un.

Cool, a tub is on its way :daumenhoch:
