Turtle wax ICE can be applied in direct sunlight. I watched a guy at the park using the stuff. He put it on everything, tires, trim & panels. The only thing I'm concerned about is putting it on the tires because it's petrolium based

I looked at the MSDS sheets for Zep and Zep 505. The 505 has some nasty stuff in it. The regular ZEP is 100 times safer.

What are you talking about Bamboo? Denatured Alcohol took the stuff off.

The suds stopped turing brown after my ninth washing. I used a leaf blower to dry the tires and saw that the tires were still blotchy. That's when I took a trip to the dealership and then to the detailers who washed it off with the denatured alcohol.

I spent another 5 hrs trying to clean up the tires. This afternoon I went to the truck dealership where I bought the truck to find out what is on the tires and the Service Manager told me to call the tire company. He didn't even look at the tires. I went next door to the dealership where they do...

At least I have some options. I was so ticked off that I couldn't think straight.

Comet sounds like it might work. Super degreaser is also worth a shot.

Are you saying use fast 505 then tuff shine tire cleaner?

The truck & tires are 2 years old with 4 thousand miles. I wash the tires with plain auto soap. I rarely drive the truck. I used the A to Z on the tires because the Ultima tire & trim guard started to fade. When I wahed off the Ultima I saw all the brown stuff. Yes I think if I reapplied the...

I washed my tires 6 times. 3 times with A to Z using a stiff tire brush, tires were still brown so I got some Westley's Blech-White and washed each tire 3 more times using a soft brass wire brush. Not much differance. When the tires dried, I got some Mr. Clean magic earaser and tried it on a...

Hot water is the easiest, then try the other stuff if hot water does not take it off.

When I bought my GMC Sierra, the rear wheel wells are painted silver as the rest of the truck. I looked at the GMC accessories at saw wheel well liners that are molded to the exact shape of the wheel well. When driving I thought that the tires would kick up sand a may ding the painted wheel...

Is there anything that can be put on new wheel Well Liners? My truck is new and I had the dealer put black liners on the rear wheel wells to protect the paint. The front wheel wells already has a liner. Will Collinite do the job?
