Motorpsycho, It does work!! I used to have this ******* friend, I had a 74 Bronco with 1200 BFG tires on it and white letters. He squats by one of the tires and picked up a rock, a little water and he cleaned ONE WORD, so I had to clean all the others or it looked like crap.

Good outside and try it!

I was having the same problem as most, love the look but lots of work keeping them clean. I bought many different foams and stuff, still had to get on my hands and knees to do it. Grease cutting soap does the cleaning job but you still have to rub it on and rub it off. I ended up putting on nonwhite walls, but the bike just didn't look as good.
I'll be going back to White walls next set and getting down on my knees again.

Rubber gloves, put some acetone on a rag and they will clean very quickly.

I woul b e a bit concerned the Acetone would break down the compounds in the tires over a period of time.
