Title: Cleaning Tire Sidewalls Post by: Jeff Likes Bagels on November 02, 2010, 12:00:44 AM This is something that I've noticed only with my Bridgestones, but they got a lot of brown shit on the sidewalls, and it wont come off with normal scrubbing. It almost looks like rust, but on rubber, haha.

Title: Re: Cleaning Tire Sidewalls Post by: timot_one on November 02, 2010, 08:14:49 AM Usually, that's caused by certain tire dressings. I have had that happen too. I use the Meguiars foaming tire cleaner a lot of times for quick results. Here's what I do when I clean my wheels:
- rinse - spray on wheel cleaner (currently P21S) - let it dwell for a minute or two - agitate with a wheel brush making sure to rinse the brush often using the 2 bucket technique - use a tire brush on the tires with a soapy brush - rinse Title: Re: Cleaning Tire Sidewalls Post by: Mike on November 02, 2010, 08:21:12 AM Get your hands on some Tuff Shine Tire cleaner... It comes with a cleaner and a sealant it will solve these issues.

spray it on, let it settle and you can literally see the brown stuff dripping off. then scrub it with a brush. presto.
