What he said! I sprayed simple green and let soak for a minute and the scrubbed the simple green with Mr clean erasers, worked great. The only thing I found that worked better was changing my tires to Black Walls!

Magic erasers work well. Like mentioned before, spray with simple green, let soak for a minute, then use magic erasers as directed and they will do a great job. I really did change to Black walled tires!
