how do i get the brown off of my tires? i want to clean them as good as i can and use this tire shine we have where i work that smells like strawberrys, the smell doesnt matter its just cool to spray alot of because it makes the garage smell really good, but this stuff makes the tires shine like a mirror practically
also how do i clean my wheel wells, i bought the truck with about 2 years work of caked in mud and grime, i want to get it all out, ive hit it with a power-washer, ive hit it with a hose, ive sprayed degreaser and the rinsed, it just doesnt clean it up, how do i clean this?
thanks

I just give my tires a good scrubbing with the car wash when I am down there. Sometimes it helps to use a little 409 to get the dirt of the letters if you have them on your tires. As for under the wheel wells, I would say try some castrol heavy duty claenaer and get down in there with a brush an scrub the hell out of them things.

You can also use Bleach-White if you have whitewalls. If you're put tire dressing on, the brown goes away, it just depends if you like that look or not. Use a heavy duty cleaner and a brush to clean the wheel wells ormaybe ask somebody at an auto parts store for the best type of cleaner.

I just scrub my tires with an S.O.S. pad and they come clean every time
