Arrrghh Tire Shine on my tires... How to remove it!

[wiks10]

Speaking of tires my nephew decided to make my bike tires look new and sprayed tire shine all over my bike tires. How do I get that stuff off?

I dont want to have an unscheduled dismount!

:roll:

Soap, water and a Scotch Brite pad.

I always figured riding around would work, but I'm a crazy bastard.

I use an orbital pad sander and #60 grit sandpaper. I have a strong aversion to road rash and find it thoroughly unpleasant.

Either of Earl's or Jethro's methods should work. Then, I'd suggest a rotary grinder with a super-coarse abrasive wheel applied firmly to your nephew's backside for at least 30 seconds!

Big a$$ burn out! That ought to get the shine off.

I was going to offer that suggestion, but couldn't figure out how to clean the front tire off as well.

Engine degreaser, I prefer Gunk non-foaming. If you can't find it, kerosene will work. Ride gentle for a little while in case it slicks up the tread, but it will be gone quickly.

I have been cleaning tires with Gunk for years...have never had a dry out problem, etc.

Didn't even think about that

But i guess that you could have some fun and only do half as much work by hand 8)

White vinegar should do the trick safely.

Well I scrubbed them with soap and then took it for a nice 10 mile cruise. All gone and they still look great!

Thnaks for all the sugestions. I wanted to try the burnout but dont know how.
