Hi all, the tyres on my new wheels have bright green paint on so whilst they are off the car i thought i would try and clean them, is there a good product to use of just a scour pad and soap?
cheers, jack

i got a few spots of red on mine, i used light sandpaper. and then waxed the tyre. looks fine, just dont degrade the rubber.

then id guess some sort of paint striper or brakefluid? if you used it quickly and washed it off after you might get away with it.
but any prolonged contact on the tyres could just mark the rubber?
