has anyone ever used a white tire pen to go over the faded words on your tires? im thinking about doing it to my tires to make them look better... just wondering if the stuff actually works

 

Before you do that, I'd use something like STP Tire Care (it's a foaming silicone spray) to clean all the gunk off the tires first. Let that dry, and then try the tire pen.

Though I'm more of a fan of all-black tires on a Camaro, but that's just me.

 

black tires are the way to go, but clean it up if you like them and give it a try

 

get a red scotch pad and go over the raised white letter. i do that all the time with my truck when they get dirty, the white comes right back. ive beat these tires pretty good off road to, u just gotta get that top layer off.

there are liquid products you can buy too.. I have something called 'whitewall restorer' and it works wonders. brings back the white letters on my truck tires soo well you have to wear sun glasses

 

So far the best product I have ever used is Commet ... Yeah thats right powered bleach that you use in your bathroom.. a friend let me in on it back when i was in High schoo,l and nothing, and I mean nothing works better on raised white letters. Try it, and a rough sponge to scrub it in..

 

thanks for all the suggestions... i tried the commet because its the only thing i had around the house and it worked pretty darn good. thanks for the tip!

 

Try a grey Brillo pad with soap and water I guarentee you it will clean right up.

 

The least abrasive and still the best is Simple Green. Wet the tire, spray full concentrate Simple Green on entire tire, let sit 20 seconds and wash with a towel or mit. You'll see the dirt and brake dust start running off within 2 seconds of spraying it.
