Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Tire Cleaner

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their all-new Ultra Tire Cleaner. A special chemical to remove residue from tyre moulding and production, the product is best used to clean both the tyre bead and also the contact surfaces of the rim in order to remove oils, greases and dust, all of which can prevent any tyre glue from bonding properly. The chemical can also be used as a tyre cleaner before applying tyre additive, removing dust, dirt and collected rubber. The cleaner comes in a handy pump-style bottle for easy, convenient and safe application by just pressing down the upper part of the bottle using a towel or paper rag.
