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

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

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. The name of it is Awesome.  |

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