Good ways to clean tyre

Holy Shit, the slow wobbly one returns, must have just come out of hibernation for the summer I guess.

Just passing through Mick.

CT18 is on the caustic side so don't put it near aluminium.

True Adrian, but it is very mild in a diluted form, I used it for 7 years on an alloy tray on the ute from new with no signs of deterioration, it worked a treat. I never left it on to soak......, just a light spray then hose off. oh.... detergent will strip the wax off your paint work as well.

hey guys just wondering if kero will damage the actual rim?

I use Kero for the excess chain wax on the rims & undertail, its not a solvent so no damage

cheers rob!

Thats a nicely worn tyre Rob!

What's this "Cleaning" everyone is talking about?

I'm with you Paul... Cleaning time is just riding time needlessly wasted

I find a good wet weather ride tends to clean things up pretty well until I have to get to my back gate.. booo! dirt!!

Mate, I use that water soluable degreaser in a can. I dont actual spray it all over my tyre but onto a rag and then carefully wipe the side wall to remove the tar and chain wax.

I use that crap on my rims too, the same way.
