WESTLEY'S - Tire Cleaners

a product you may want to try to clean the tires. have used it a long time on the cars and trucks. not sure whether or not it will dull the wheels but i've never had a problem. gets them nice and black without the shine.

either armor all or spray any tire shine on a rag and wipe just the sides

I use to use tire shine. But quit. Not only does it make your tires slip, it causes weather cracking on the sidewalls. Had to buy a new front tire for my 2008 k9 because of it.

It does clean black rubber very well. Just be careful on the wheels.

Just caught this thread. There are any number of tire cleaners/preservatives in the automotive section at Wal-Mart, but BE CAREFUL not to over do it.
I once knew a guy who Armor-All'd his tires for a show and had a serious mishap riding home afterwards. Inertia actually forces the excess sidewall preservative down onto the side treads as the tire spins, and turns can become very treacherous.

Ole Sul was not a guest but a long time member from the get go. No longer user by that name on here, but very much a member from the get go!!!!

Would ride with Sul anytime!

Do not put any shine stuff on the tires myself, too much risk and it does nothing to improve the ride!

I never got into this thread before.....

I use simple green. It cleans up the tire and does not leave a residue.

 

[strtjkt]

If you spray them with pigspit there is no slick oily residue and it turns them dark black

It's not just for whitewalls and white raised letters. It will actually clean the brown off of tires. Gives them a fresh black look with no slime.
I use it at my shop for show cars that are going for a factory look.
Put it on tire scrub whit bristle brush and rinse. Repeat until
Tires are black.
Note!!!!!!!! This product contains salt!!!! Do not spray on aluminum!
Keep a damp rag to wipe off excess as you go and rinse rinse rinse.
I have yet to find a better product and this stuff is cheap.
The secret is to actually clean them not to hide dirt with goop.

 

[Bmarchant]

WOW!!! I would ever put any shine stuff on Motorcycle tires.. Can you say "ICE SKATING RINK?"

 

[montana]

Nothing. I've only wash my bike 2 or 3 times a year. I ride it daily and keeping it clean is too much work so I ride it and enjoy it.
