It's around 3:30am where I live in Alabama...I'm hoping some West Coast friends can help...I have a Kia Sorrenta sitting in my shop and the tires won't come clean by conventional methods...I've scrubbed them three times already...any suggestions will be welcomed....This lady obviously drives a dirt road every day...help please!!!

Try a scrubbing pad on a buffer with a little APC.

When you say orange pad...is that a light cutting pad?

I also use a 4" round scrub brush that's Velcro backed. I slap it on my rotary using light pressure and some Meguiar's Super Degreaser. I've never had a tire win yet....:props:

Thanks for the advice guys...the orange pad I used was a Lake Country Flat, worked like a charm...Just a little advice from me...use an old pad...tires can be a problem like I faced last night, but don't use a new or nearly new pad on them...And thank you again John for helping me to look outside the box for a solution...I appreciate you Buddy!!!
