How to clean your tire brush

[PA DETAILER]

I have the tuff shine tire brush. Use it and love it. Is yours looking a little less than clean? With all the built up dressings etc? Get you tarmanator or any good bug and tar remover you have on hand. I used lifter1. Srpay it on and let it soak. Rinse with water and you got a CLEAN BRUSH. Zero residue from past cleanings. It works.

I am going to give this a try. I have one that is pretty nasty that APC won't touch. Gonna see if Tarminator can rescue it.

I have Poor Boys bug remover. I'm going to try that at full strength. Hopefully it works.

I've used terminator before and it works really well.

I've just been brushing my teeth, with a whitening toothpaste of course, and things have been splendid. Except no one smiles back at me Hmmmmmm....

I've used a dilution of bleach and water. ~20:1 on most of my brushes. Works great.

If you really want to ramp up the cleaning, you 1st. saturate the dirty brush with your choice of degreaser/tar remover, then you want to agitate the brush against the concrete [driveway, sidewalk, etc. just sweep away any dirt prior to scrubbing your brush]

After scrubbing and rinsing, your gunked up tire/wheel brush will be nearly 100% clean and free of tar.

Much more effective than simply spraying degreaser on it and rinsing it off, no matter the dwell time.

I had a Boars Hair brush that would not come clean with anything I tried. What did work very well was pouring Persil laundry detergent on the bristles, working it in by hand, let it sit for 15-30 minutes then rinsing it out. Looked brand new when done.

I like using ZEP’s “Heavy Duty Oven
and Grill Cleaner” to clean the nylon
bristles of my Tuf Shine tire brushes.

if you buy this tire brush you won't have to worry about grime building up on it. i have one just like this that has a smooth white handle and the weird thing is any dirt/contamination you get on it comes right off and doesn't stick to it, and same goes with the bristles...

I feel like a D for saying it but, if your tire cleaner, or whatever cleaner, isn’t breaking down what you are trying to clean and transferring to your brush, then I feel you are using the wrong cleaner.

Like trying to clean old gunked up motor with a weak rinseless wash.

What product do you use to clean your tires? And what does your brush look like?
