How To Make Old Bike Tires Look Almost Like New
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
This is how I clean tires on bikes that I am detailing. It really works great on the rubber. If tires have whitewalls, it helps clean them, but they will still look old and dry. But the rubber seems almost refreshed and rejuvenated. The tire I clean in the video is on my 1969 Raleigh Rod-Brake bike and is probably one of the original tires. So this tire is almost 45 years old. So this is great for vintage bicycles, or bikes that you getting ready to sell. This would probably work on car and motorcycle tires too, though I haven't tried it. **If the video was useful or interesting please give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing. -Website: http://www.RJTheBikeGuy.com -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RJTheBikeGuy -Subscribe Here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shyflirt1 -YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/RJTheBikeGuy

armor all interior cleaner make tires really shine
-
How about using Ajax?
-
La awsome carpet cleaner red spray bottle from the Family dollar or dollar store works wonders...
-
does the 409 have to be the color yellow
-
Do you recommend using only 409?.. or would any 'antibacterial all-purpose cleaner' do the job just fine as well? Also can you recommend anything that would clean off the rust from a bike? and not just rust from the metal bits but rust on black paint too.
Thanks in advance! -
Oh no!!!!
Gone and got some dog poop stuck in my front tyre treads!
Looks like I might have to opt for a disposable cleaning kit -
would this work on white tires
-
Uh... Just seen on amazon... Price of this 409 is cca 90€??
-
409?
-
does this "effect" last as long as a new tire would "retain" it's nice black color?
-
You also might want to use tire coat. Made my tires look shiny
-
Using the 409 actually helps your tires to last longer against weather rot or bcterial rot (dry-rot) so I would recommend this for anyone trying to keep their bike tires from going bad over the years of less than frequent use
-
Can u use something else.
-
Hey man I'm in UK and want to do this to my road bike tires but I don't know where to find 409 in UK? Is there any other method or solution to use?

Do a video on your raleigh tourist

Jack Holthusen, the 409 works amazing on the black rubber. It does just okay on the whitewalls.
