cleaning tires

[1ceCold037]

what do you guys use to clean the white stripes on the modern beach cruiser tires? like the cranbrook tires.

An SOS pad, or comet and a green scrubber pad.

Mr.Clean Magic Erasers. They work the best and wont remove the white like other abrasive stuff like sos or comet.

You wet them down like a sponge and just wipe the wheels off. Takes off everything , even chain scuff marks.

I use 'white wall tire cleaner' from the auto parts store. Be warned, it says to use rubber gloves & protective glasses when using it... USE THEM!!!!!!!

I am betting that all these cleaners lead to dry rot. I would not use Armor All either. I will stick to black tires.

The magic erasers dont use chemicals. Its just like a foam block.

Im thinking of going to all black tires too though cause Im sick of cleaning the white walls. My biggest problem is grease finger prints all over them

carb cleaner takes grease right off and doesn't seem to harm the rubber.

I used WD-40 because it was there and it worked.

I use carb cleaner all the time to clean my white walls. Works great and no harm to the rubber

My boss swears by Westley's Bleche-Wite for her white letter tires so I tried it on my cruiser tires and it worked better then anything I've tried. Just sprayed it on, hit it lightly with a scrub brush and rinsed them off and my tires were cleaner then they were new.

Picked up the large spray bottle at the local mega-mart for under $4
