my OCD wants me to clean my buggy like this after every ride, but then I realize it's an offroad toy and accept it for "mostly" clean. but that Spray Nine looks like it works really well if you're trying to keep it really new looking or selling tires!

 

I didn't even think of trying to sell tires, that's a good idea.

 

DId you put your rig in a show and shine? Dirt on tires, kind of expected.

 

Yup it's expected to get them dirty. But when I clean something I expect it to be clean.

I know this level of detailing isn't for everyone, but it's constructive, better exercise than watching TV, it's better for your mental health than social media, plus it gives you a chance to inspect things and find issues much earlier.

 

I use a soap cannon with my own brew to wash it down. The Dollar Store (now the $1.25 store) sells a few products called “Awesome”. The original Awesome cleaner mixed with cheap dish detergent and car wash works well. Then I hit the tires with any tire shine I have laying around. The brown vanishes and it’s easier to clean next time.

 

Spray Nine

Any specific product in their line, or just the basic Spray Nine 26832 Heavy Duty Cleaner/Degreaser and Disinfectant?

 

Sucks to do but magic eraser cleans the hoses great. Purple power does great on the tires and is fairly cheap. It will gray the black plastic if left very long so be careful with it on places other than tires

 

Thanks for the tip! Spray Nine actually cleaned the hoses just as well if not better than it did the tires but you have to be able to reach them to wipe/scrub the dirt loose. Hard to do without trashing your hands on sharp bolts and plastic. I used a detailing brush to get some of it.

Oh by the way a detailing brush works amazing on the wheels.

 

Not knocking your level of detail, your rig, do as you want. If you want a shiny black tires hey shiny black tires. More of a use and have fun toy to me then a clean it like a show car toy thats all. Enjoy!

 

exactly ! I bet his purse is spotless. You should hear him whine about having an adult beverage during a trail break !!!

 

I use MX ATV wash after pressure washing. It does the same thing and you can see the residue running off the tires as soon as you spray them. I do the full detail dousche out every few times. Where I live trails are wet 9 months of the year so it’s too much to do the full monty every time.

 

Yeah that makes sense, also depends on how often you get out riding. We usually have about 1/2" of mud caked on everything by the time we get back. I still think it's way easier to clean if you get it to where you can silicone spray it in between rides. I got some stuff from Stoner called Trim Shine that works good on plastic and lasts a long longer than the aerosol cans.

 

I'm a fan of getting the rig back to new post riding. I'm not a fan of the shiny tire look,,, I like them to look new, not reflective.

I found a simple solution of 50/50 Armour All and water works great. The tires need to be clean first, but this blend makes them look very good without being shiny or attracting mucho dirt/dust.

 

Like flat black but for tires lol, I like it.

 

Nice find on the Spray Nine, 10mm...I just put a 4 bottle pack in the big A cart to try. From the description, it sounds like a great overall cleaner!

 

Adam's Tire & Rubber cleaner is the bomb! Makes my Toyos look brand new and does the same for Tensors or anything else made from rubber. Takes about 30 seconds to brush on a 37 and washes right off smell and residue-free

 

I've tried several Adam's products before, most of them have been very good.

 

I just bought a gallon. I have some stubborn oil stains on a relatively new paver driveway . So far nothing has worked.

 

Let me know if it works!

 

Did you go with Adam's? It might work on your pavers but at least your tires will look good lol

 

Black Magic - Bleche-wite tire cleaner and a scrub brush. Follow directions. It will pull dirt out of rubber including wiper blades, CV boots, etc. Also works great on white walls lol

 

I've tried bleche-wite several times, even with vigorous scrubbing it would not remove these stains. It does however work great on the white letters on my truck tires

 

Thanks for the hint on the Spray Nine!! My order just arrived, I sprayed one of the tires on my X3 that have been sitting around getting more brown by the day. The stuff literally rolled right off,,, wiped off nicely. Looks like a brand new tire.

 

Awesome!! It works so good it makes me nervous to use it on paint and plastic lol

 

I bought a couple gallons and one of these pump foamer's to try it out with. - It's been a slow Wednesday at work, the rabbit holes are getting deep... Also got some Gtechniq G1 to see if I like it better than rainX.

Link to the foamer?

 

I'd use a foam cannon before I'd pay that!🤣

 

Turns out my rep was willing to throw one in with the purchase of a drum of floor cleaner. Cleaner for the shop, and a foamer for me.

 

I use a normal garden sprayer with the purple stuff. I have a foam cannon too but where I live the soap will dry before you can rinse it all off so I don’t use the cannon much

 

That's one thing I do like about simple green, it doesn't matter at all if it dries when you spray it from a pump sprayer, in fact I think it might work a little better if it dries.

 

The foamer works great with Spray Nine. It makes a frothy foam and I think you use significantly less product for the same results with this method. Last night I put it to use on the skid steer and pressure washed all the excess grease from the joints, then foamed it up and basically watched it ooze off for a few minutes before giving it a final spray.

This foamer is pretty sweet! You can hand pump it or use a tire inflator/shop air.

That's legit! I do find that I use quite a bit of the spray nine at a time, I thought about diluting it.
