Letters on slicks
How do you remove the white letters on slicks or the front runners? I have a couple pair and would like them to be blacked out.
Thanks Robert |

Re: Letters on slicks
what I like to use is from a company called Rema Tip Top and the product is called Liquid Pre-Buff Cleaner,You should be able to find this at you local tire supply store like Waters Company in Baltimore and Myers Tire Supply they have stores in Pa I believe.You can use other chemicals but I like this and it doesn't seem to hurt the compound.

Lacquer thinner works, but you have to keep flipping the rag over to get all the film off.

Re: Letters on slicks
you should take the tire off and turn it around, or dunk it in a bathtub a oil.

Robert,
Non-chlorinated brake clean works great.
