Cleaning huge mud tires? - 10-02-2008, 10:19 PM

Well I have 35x12.50 Nitoo Mud Grapplers and they STAY dirty no matter how much I wash them. I've tried the Eagle Wheel and Tires cleaner with a scrub brush then went back over it with Tire Wet but the Tire Wet just collects more dirt. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing that you don't have access to a pressure washer...that's what is needed on tires like you are talking about..But you can do this by hand...use as much pressure from the hose as possible that you can to get the bulk of the dirt off....you need a stronger cleaner...most OTC do not cut it...my suggestion is that you look at a APC like PB or something similar...Good brushes and some time will get the rubber clean...make sure that when you are working on rubber thats stained or super dirt...wet ir good spray on the cleaner and let it dwell...cleaners have a reaction time...this allows it to work...then tire dressing is another key factor...you should be using a water based...tire wet dosen't sound like one...PB B-n-B is a good dressing for getting the tires looking nice and black and masking any of the imperfection that are left..spray on and let dry to see how it looks with big tires it may require another spray...also use spray on tire dressing....it gets into the cracks easier than wipe on
