Default Care of Red Line tires

I haven't really done anything in terms of cleaning my redlines since I installed them.

Any suggestions? Same as whitewalls?

One thing I've notice is that the tire sidewall seems to turn brown when exposed to the sun (like on one side, at a car show). I would like for that to not happen.

Thanks in advance -

K

Look over on autogeek. There are some very informative threads there. I have been gathering knowledge over the past few days/weeks for when I start the preservation of my L78 car..

I just use an SOS pad or some Comet and a scrub brush.

SOS pads and Comet have multi uses Tommy.

A little Bleche-Wite sprayed on a rag, rubbed directly on the red stripe will brighten them right up.
