3 years?

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.

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.

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