Cleaning the walls of skinwall tyres...

[othomas2]

Hi folks,

Anyone have a good solution for cleaning some old compIII skinwalls ?

Just the wall of the tyres... nothing else.

I've given a rub over with fairy liquid and a sponge... what next ?

If I scrub hard the it'll start threading, probably.

cheers

Just hot water, fairy liquid and a sponge works for me.

So, you've probably done as much as you can.

get a soft toothbrush and neat washing up liquid, then rinse, worked well for me

thanks again

owen , i use a tyre restorer foam by wynns , it cleans and protects at the same time

you can use it on the whole trye and it works a treat it adds a silicon compound into the rubber and prevents more cracking

Cheers for that rich.

The walls are a bit dry and crusty too.  That stuff sounds like it could help.

i have used a whole can lol

it does remove loose dirt without aggitating , but i cleeaned mine of crud with a toothbrush and washing up liquid first

it leaves a sheen to start with but it seems to soak in after a week or so and seems stop tyres drying and cracking further, or so i have thought

I use 'Astonish', it comes in tubs and is a paste.  I put this on an old toothbrush and it cleans the tyres superbly.
