View Full Version : Do not use tire shine foam! 11special May 6th, 2011, 01:26 AM I detailed my month old 250r, girl friend shined my tires... I layed it down. Wear your jacket you do not want some nurse scrubing out road with iodine trust me it is horrible. Bike is not too bad, will post pics tommorow. It was quick like sliding on ice. Do not shine your tires! sowega May 6th, 2011, 05:19 AM Please tell me you're joking. Why would you ever think that it's a good idea to shine a motorcycle tire? want1sobad May 6th, 2011, 05:27 AM why was gf detailing bike? recipe for disaster...... oroboros May 6th, 2011, 05:28 AM Yup, not a good idea. Don't Armor-All your seat either. Did that once as a kid on a dirt bike. Ohh slippy =D Posted via Mobile Device thurt88 May 6th, 2011, 06:06 AM I guess its not wise to clean your rotors with wd-40 either :D I do use tire shine on my seats tho but Im gonna try baby oil. The tire shine only ever becomes "iffy" on my CBR's seat. Jinx250 May 6th, 2011, 08:25 AM why was gf detailing bike? recipe for disaster...... More like, something that sounds uber-sexy gone horribly wrong. rceezy May 6th, 2011, 08:28 AM All the gear, all the time. Glad you're (relatively) okay... Nemesis May 6th, 2011, 08:33 AM Actually that was pretty cool of your GF. It was a nice gesture. She didn't know any better. Live and learn. want1sobad May 6th, 2011, 08:53 AM ^^^^ true GeorgiaHooligan May 8th, 2011, 02:36 PM would of kept this one to myself..... Cazper May 8th, 2011, 08:45 PM It's okay on the sidewall... I wouldn't spray it on the tire just on a rag and wipe the sidewall. Definitely not on the tread... that wouldn't work out well. Heck, you wouldn't put tire shine on the tread of a car tire either... so I'm a little confused why anyone would :confused: setasai May 8th, 2011, 08:53 PM Probably not a logic thing. Aesthetically, i'm sure it looked fantastic as a showroom bike. geeker May 22nd, 2011, 05:36 PM I will say that if anyone ever has this scenario play out for them, to use Bleach White and a tire brush to get that stuff off. The summer after high school, I found my self detailing cars for a Toyota dealership. They practically wanted reflections in their tires on new vehicle deliveries. I hated it, so I rarely use the stuff on my cars. Just Bleach White because I prefer the look of clean, new tires. Snake May 22nd, 2011, 07:10 PM Do not blame your gf. She was trying to help and you should have noticed how black and shiny the tires were before you headed out. BTW I'm glad you are ok. reaperw May 22nd, 2011, 10:52 PM You should put her hand in the toaster :eek: this way she knows your pain Sorry its just the people in my head talking again. reaperw May 22nd, 2011, 10:53 PM On a side note glad your ok :) Moldbuster June 7th, 2011, 07:55 PM No gear huh? :headshake: Assume the position... Snake June 7th, 2011, 08:04 PM He already screwed himself by not wearing gear. |
