i dont think it is release powder.  its just how they go after years.  I scrubbed some everyway you could think of a few weeks ago and it just kept coming back when they dried.  I used car tyre shine stuff on them in the end and they came up perfect  :daumenhoch:

You could try using those magic eraser sponge pads on that, I used them on my black tuffs to remove stubborn brake rub and it got rid of that.
Worth a go & I can't see them doing any harm to the tyre. You can get them cheap on amazon, a box of 20 for a fiver or so.

It's 100% not release powder, it's part of the compound that's secreted over the age of the tyre.

Ask yourself this:

Did you ever see powder on any of your tyres BITD? No, not one of a hundred tyres you, your mates, the kids at school owned. Then it can't be release powder!
If the tyres are riders any secretion is worn off through riding as its such a slow release, only tyres that have sat idle for years exposed will eventually secret so called release powder!!

Can you tell folk calling it release powder makes my fookin teeth itch?!!!

Anyway in answer to your question, it's proper stubborn to get off, some folk leave it on but from my experience to get a showroom shine use a tyre gel from Halfords.
