I would try wax and grease remover...works well on the brown crud that comes out of the rubber...also cleans the whitelines and redlines. Much less caustic than lacquer thinner. After the wax and grease remover I use the spray can vinyl cleaner Tuff-Stuff...with a soft scrub brush...hose it off and they look good. There are lots of choices for tire protectants for the finish...Mequiars #40 does a good job on rubber and vinyl...not too shiney.

I've cleaned mine with a Magic Eraser &amp; Purple Power or Simple Green: whatever is handy at the time. Finish off with Meguiars Ultra. They have held up well for five or six years now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

We have redyed red lines - use adhesion promotor prior to applying the paint and a light coat of color and it is amazing!!
