So I got new tires recently (Nitto Motivo) and I washed my car yesterday and wanted to remove their tire shine and I noticed after doing the first tire with my stiff bristled tire brush, it actually left marks on the side wall.
WHAT!?????
I have never seen this before. I have used this brush on 4 other sets of tires Ive maintained in the past with no problems.
It must be some new fancy compound or something. I heard these tires are a new design, so perhaps this is the cause? The sidewall does feel very smooth in a way I have never felt before in a tire.
I will see if I can get pictures tomorrow. After the first tire, I did it lightly on the second to see if it really was me, and it was. No scratches before, scratches after. I finished that on off and the others with my old soft bristled rim brush..
Has anyone encountered this before? Going forward, I am not using that brush anymore. What is the best way to scrub clean the sidewalls without a stiff bristled brush?
