    Re: Cleaning and Dressing the entire tire side without moving the vehicle

    Great idea. I always manage to scrape my knuckles on the concrete driveway trying to get as much as possible covered. Kinda dumb since I always have to roll the car down the driveway a bit to get the bottom section of the tires where I can get to them.

    Cleaning your tires is an easy way to improve your vehicle's appearance and performance. Not only does cleaning your tires look great, but it also ensures better traction and braking for your vehicle.

    Re: Cleaning and Dressing the entire tire side without moving the vehicle

    It is a good idea. But I feel like its more work to drag the wood out, get them spaced perfectly, pull the car onto them, clean/dress the tires, pull the car off, then put the wood away. When I could just clean the tires, dress the top half, move the car forward or back a few feet, then dress the other side and DONE!

    I tried the 2x4 , but I had problems . I would spin out . then again with big lug truck tires I'd suggest a 2x6 or 2x8 . I usually end up driving completely over the board then gotta back up ..... pain in the butt to me . anyways tires are the last thing I do so I don't mind that I have to start it up and move it a few inches . gives me the chance to do another walk around make sure everything is sweet

    What? Do you clean the rocks out of the treads? Cleaning and dressing a sidewall would do absolutely nothing for traction and braking so what are you talking about?

    I'm with you. Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

    That sounded like one of those canned response from someone who was getting ready to spam the forum once they got enough posts--you know, one of those people who all of a sudden puts a link for something in their signature.
