Scrubbing that damn blue stuff off a set of brand-new white letter tires. On your hands and knees for an hour with brushes, rags, and dangerous chemicals. Holy hell this is annoying. They really couldn't invent some alternative way of protecting the white in storage (assuming that's what the blue gunk is for)?

Dish soap, water and a rag..

BTW, using any chemical voids the tire warranty with Kelsey Tire.

Dish soap, water and a rag..

Maybe it's brand-specific, but I never had luck with milder stuff like dish soap on BF Goodrich. Had to jump to that Blech White and acetone. Ugh.
