best way to remove 3 years of Meguiars from tires?

I would like to remove 3 years worth of Meguiars tire care since its gotten kinda chunky and put a fresh coat on, any tips for easily removing it?

3 years? :eek:

I'd try Eagle 1 wheel cleaner (orange bottle). Seems to work great for me.

A bottle of degreaser, a tire scrub brush and bucket of soap. A lil elbow grease and theyll be brand new black.

Be careful with that degreaser though, if you use something like Simple Green. That stuff is strong and I believe can eat off your paint (atleast that's the worry people have about the engine bay cleaning.)

Degreaser sounds a little aggressive. I'd go with a stiff brush and car soap. If you are not getting anywhere with that, then maybe some dawn dishwashing soap. I had build up from this stuff, just a stiff brush did the trick for me.

Stop using silicone-based tire dressings and you won't have this problem anymore.:p

Some heavily dish-soap-laden water and a scrub brush followed by wesley's bleech white should take care of any and everything on the tires. Follow immediately with some decent tire dressing, like 303 Aerospace protectant.

AMEN, i love my 303 protectant :)

wesleys white wall wash and a tire brush

i always use sos pads when i want to get all the old stuff off my tires. :cool:

Use simple green mixed with water like 3:1 should do the trick.

i agree with the wesleys bleach white.. or just some good ol dawn dishwashing liquid and some hot water..

This stuff will definitely do the trick.
