Tire cleanliness

[nathaninwa]

What are you guys using to clean the dirt off the tires from general use and to make them sticky again before any comps?

Water

I use 2:1 diluted "orange" Greased Lightning and a brush. This gets them pretty much looking new, and makes them somewhat sticky.

i just use dawn dish soap, warm water and a firm scrub brush.

I buy this at the Dollar Store. It cleans them like new.
I have Alum rims, and no problem using it. AzVader
tells me it will remove the die from died plastic rims.

Thanks guys for replys.......this might sound crazy but I have heard a person say they saw a guy soak the tire with lighter fluid and light it off....made them way sticky.....

simple green is the secret. light spray of traction compound will repell some dust that will get on the course.

I'm sure it did, but not a repeated method.
