    Unhappy Stripping tires not fun

    In lieu of applying VRP to the tires tomorrow morning, thought i would save some time and prep them. Good times. NOT. Clean as clean is now! After several scrubbings, i believe all prior crap is off. Used tuff shine / megs non acid / megs degreaser cleaners to do the job. Tuff shine put the biggest dent in them. Megs non acid is good, but i expected a bit more cleaning power. Degreaser hardly put a hurt on them. I did the white towel test, and they wipe clean, so guess their ready. That was more work than i cared for.

    Re: Stripping tires not fun

    Well, Ill tell you mike, it was a job. Almost makes me want to skip the VRP and just coat them with the TW kit everyone raves about. But on the flip side, i have read VRP is awesome for tires and WATER BASED. I should have no issues with the VRP hopefully. Heard its a NO SLING product too, which is what i am after!

    What a great tip! Stripping tires is probably my least favorite detailing task but using a DA might actually make it fun.

    Mothers Back to Black Tire Renew makes quick work of removing all the old product and browning. Couple of quick applications and wipes.

    I spray the tires down with Purple Power, let it sit a minute, then take some all purpose cleaner mixed with a little water, and a scrub brush and go to town on them, then hose off..Works great Let them dry and dress the tires with a couple of coats or so with your favorite tire shine

    Re: Stripping tires not fun

    Mother's Back to Black Tire Renew seems too good to be true. I have Tuf Shine and it's pretty damn awesome. I used Mothers and without scrubbing and less applications even. It seemed to work as well as TS. I need to see a side by side comparison done. I can't really comprehend how a few applications and some regular wiping got my tires cleaner faster than 4 applications with TS and a ton of scrubbing. Especially so when TS works for me SO MUCH better than any other product I've used to clean my tires.

    Whenever I need to detail the wheels/tires, I've found that removing them from the vehicle makes the job much easier. Plus, you get to clean the back of the tire and wheel!
