haha yeah i suppose. I dont usually take it off nos tyres but these are used and i just want to get them looking slick :coolsmiley:

you need a stiff brush - horse brush or a good stiff nail brush will do - then you just need to work around in every direction to get every bit off - no need for any water or chemicals, just use it dry !
it will leave then shinny and new - that is one way i have done some ;)
cheers B ;)

You know it isn't release powder right? Its actually part of the rubber composite thats secreted and builds up over years of inactivity.
If it were actual release powder at least some of our tyres we bought BITD would have been covered in... release powder. I for one can't remember a single tyre with a stubborn odd white residue in the 70's and 80's...
PS. I didn't always know this but asked the question on the museum and was told ad nauseam that it wasn't release powder ;)

Autoglym Foaming Tyre Dressing is also good as it drys closer to matt - some of the tyre cleaning/dressing solutions leave an unrealistic shine to your tyres - not to mention make them super slippery! :shocked:

i bought some stuff out the pound shop a bit back called ELBOW GREASE.
this stuff is the dogs bollocks at cleaning tyres.
takes every bit of dirt and marks out and drys like a brand new tyre.
i have about 15 bottles in stock now as i use it on everything thats dirty.
great on ya cars alloys wheels and tyres too.

Simoniz back to black bumper and tyre shine ,spay on wipe off excess with a towel perfect

Keep them dry, don't put anything on and use a dry nail brush.
It isn't quick but it is effective.
I tried the other methods all they did was make the release wax harder to shift.
I suppose it depends on the state of the powder /wax though .
