Cleaning my rubber

[skiiirt]

I have some blue spraypaint marks on my tires. It came from the dealership like that and I can't scratch it off. I thought I could perhaps try shoe polish? I want it to look as good as possible without damaging the rubber.

Use engine degrease and a wire brush. I do this EVERY DAY and it doesn't damage the rubber...

ditto. or high pressure water.

The pressure washers at the local car wash mustn't be strong enough then. I doubt my Simoniz will be more powerfull than those.

 

What brand name would u reccomend and where can it be bought

best thing is usually to throw them away and get new ones. usually you don't try to clean rubbers and reuse them.

try some Wesley's Bleche White(tire cleaners...dunno if you have it up there)

 

with a brush

 

that stuff takes off some hard stuff

I used lacquer thinner to take paint off my tires. No problems.

I used our Honda driven pressure washer to remove these red dots from the Kuhmos on my dad's Taurus.....stripped off the dot and a bit of rubber with it lol....fuck that thing has too much pressure....I tried to strip paint off the garage door with it like ppl with Krachers and Simonizs pressure washers and I blew a hole right through the woof frame

Who wants to re-use rubbers? shouldnt you get a new one, that way its not all stretched out and well... used?
