Strong degreaser and a stiff nylon brush.

That seems a little like overkill. I was able to get them off with my normal wash solution (Meg's Gold Class) and a wheel/tire brush. I worry that a strong degreaser would be corrosive to the rubber.
If you have any optimum no rinse that will work in my experience.

Some apc and a brass bristle brush or a Mr.Clean magic eraser will work also in most cases.

A strong degreaser could be Dawn, or some all purpose cleaner at a medium to high strength mixture, or even some Simple Green mixed 1:1
I wasn't referring to anything acidic.

I know that these painted/dyed dots can be a real bear to remove, so kudos to you :xyxthumbs:
You must have the strength of Hercules :props: :laughing:

I doubt that any of the methods I mentioned will corrode the sidewalls while using the brush for a short time, then rinsed with water and dressed thereafter.
