2. Cleaning your tires with shaving foam

We sometimes get the feeling that someone is trying to pull a practical joke when suggesting tips like putting shaving foam on tires. But we tried it and it really does wonders! It turns out, cleaning your tires with shaving foam is a quick and easy way to remove built-up grime and dirt from the treads. Here’s how to do it:

  • Start by making sure your tires are cool to the touch. If they have been driven on recently, wait for them to cool down before you begin cleaning.
  • Spray a generous amount of shaving foam onto the tires, making sure to cover the entire surface of the treads.
  • Use a scrub brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the foam into the tire treads. This will help to loosen any dirt or grime that has accumulated on the tires.
  • Rinse the tires off with a hose or a bucket of water.
  • Dry the tires with a clean, dry cloth or allow them to air dry.

By following these simple steps, you can easily clean your tires and help to extend their lifespan. Regular tire cleaning can also improve the overall appearance of your vehicle.
