tyre cleaners

What tyre cleaners do you use.
I have been using brake cleaner but have been told it damages the rubber so im looking to try some thing else.

i have heared that you can use chewing gum remover

any rubber tyre cleanser, is a degreaser, and leave no residue... so they are all probably a derivative of brake cleaner

Brake Cleaner/Motor Spray is mostly used.....some people use MM tyre cleaner....all depends on the track and whether indoors or outdoors.

i just use some tyre-additive on a swipe: cleans the tyres very good, but is offcourse a costly solution.

SOmething else that functions good is Dreft (a kind of Dish wash soap) with a bit of water. I've been told, it's so good because it is a degreaser (duh) but some of the components in it also soften the tire a bit.

Brake-cleaner DOES brakes down the tire in a certain degree. It is more then a degreaser.
