I ran a search but couldn't find it but someone not long ago suggested a easy way to remove the blue off the lettering on tires. Does anybody remember that conversation or know a easy way(other than scrubbing) to get that crap off?

Wait till you guys see what I have done to my Taco..
Poser shots soon to follow.

 

I would go to the grocery store and buy some Grease Lightning. Spray it on there and leave it for a minute or two then take a brush and it should come right off without much scrubbing. That's what I did for my tires when they were new.

 

You can just use a scrub brush and some Purple Power (or other cleaning agent) to get the blue protective coating off the letters. It really shouldn't take much effort to do it. Also, use plent of water while you are doing it.

 

I think I used some castrol superclean. I also use that to keep the letters sparkly white too. works awesome

 

Use AJAX and a scrub brush with lots of H20! It's cheap and it will clean those letters so white you can see yourself in them, well they will glow in the dark, well they will be really, really white like my

 

I like the blue letters.

 

another vote for ajax

 

Nice Bluewalls Clark...LOL!!!! Seriously I have been using Westleys Bleach White for years and I have not found anything that works better for cleaning tires...well I haven't really tried anything else. Good luck!!!

 

Also back in the day when I ran the white lettering out on my old 92 Toy PU, I used Brillo pads to keep them nice and white. It was also very easy and cheap, without much scrubbing at all.

 

what about simple green (non-toxic).... works real good on really dirty engines

 

I find the car wash usually takes it off just fine. (nozzle at close range anyways)

 

 

Simple Green works real well too

 

I used MUD to take mine off!

 

when i was a little kid my granma used to make me scrub her tires with a scrub brush and a bucket of soapy water and that seemed to work fine for me. :cry:

 

Goof Off here.

 

Yeah we know you're a goof off. What do you use to clean the tires?

 

This Goof Off uses Goof Off to get the Goof off of tires.

 

but what do you use to get goof off off the goof off that you were trying to goof off in the first place?

 

Westleys Bleach White

thats what I've always used, works great, just don't get it on the wheels, esp polished aluminum wheels

Be sure to use it on the entire tire every now and then, you'll be surprised how dirty they get, especailly if you take it off road
