    How do I clean tires without removing rim LSP???

    So, what's everyone's technique for cleaning tires without removing the LSP on their wheels or around wheel wells?

    Once I thoroughly clean and prep my wheels off the car, coat them with a LSP, I don't want any harsh chemicals getting on them and removing the LSP. At the same time, I want to be able to use a chemical on my tires to clean off the occasional build up of tire shine and dirt without having to reseal/re-wax my wheels every time. Any methods or products that you guys have come to know about? Thanks!

    Clean tires as you normally would. Tire
    Cleaner will usually cling to the tire, especially a good foaming one. Yes, you will get a drip or two running down the wheel, but it won't hurt it. Tire cleaner only needs 15-30 seconds to dwell, them wash off the tire and wheel good. Your wheels will be fine.

    Thanks for the tip. I usually use diluted Simple Green with a brush but I will try to find a foaming sprayer nozzle.
