6k service t'other day.....(keep the warranty valid y'know.....)

"lube chain" appeared on the invoice....."lube tyres" did NOT appear on the invoice......but was done none the less.......:nono:
Actually just the usual spill from the chain onto wheel rims and some on walls of the tyres as well.......not that much, but I would like to get it off....so how does one clean the oil off the tyres........?
Any help gratefully accepted........:)

Wipe the worst of it off with kero or CRC and a rag then spray it with degreaser and wash off with water??

DONUT


But seriously a cloth, moist (great word) in kero. Don't soak it! Then quickly dry off with a clean dry rag.

CRC Brakeleen (I think I spelled it write :innocent:)
Disolves oil and wont affect the rubber.
