I tried several searches for "armor all", "tire shine", and "black magic" but did not get any results. I figured 'Riding Safety' was the best spot to ask this question. Mods please move/adjust this thread as needed.
So anyway...when I bought my bike one of the first things I noticed was the ridiculous amount of tire shine that the previous owner had sprayed onto the tires. You're probably thinking what I was thinking...WHY?! There didn't appear to be any method used to cover the tread that makes contact with the pavement. Most of it has come off from the center lines of each tire, but I am really afraid to lean into my turns cause that stuff is super slick.
Is there a way to remove this? I have heard that Dawn (the dish soap) can be used...but that's just as slick. Is the best method to just get a little dirty and rub dirt on it with my hands?
