Doug,
Believe it or not, a classic reproduction tire manufacturer told me he uses
nothing but Mop and Glo floor cleaner/wax on his tires. At shows, people want
to know what his secret for the clean shiny tires is. He also had an
independent lab do tests on all the whitewall cleaners on the market presently
to find the best one. He sent the lab scores of samples in unmarked numbered
containers. They found that only one worked consistently better than the
others, it was a product available in any city or town in the U.S.- Simple
Green!
So, you don't have to spend alot to make those tires look good and you can
make points with the wife by cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms when your done
with your tires. Just kidding.
