Re: Get my NOS Day 2 Tires Like New Again
Post a photo. If they are covered in what resembles a white, greasy residue, that is mold release and it can be drawn back into the rubber by simply using a heat gun to remelt the residue.

Re: Get my NOS Day 2 Tires Like New Again
Team 3 Protectorant works great and also preserves the rubber. The only protectorant on the market that does not have alchohol in it.
Armor Al destroys rubber tires. |

Re: Get my NOS Day 2 Tires Like New Again
Cool tires! 2nd photo of tire: lettering should clean right up with Bleche Wite or paint thinner or the like. 1st photo may need some touch up as it appears that the white color did not transfer to tops of some of the letters.

Re: Get my NOS Day 2 Tires Like New Again
I have some Ranger Tire paint, and some acrylic white art pens for the touch ups. I may use that. Not sure about using a rubber roller rejuvenation product, like a copy machine? Have heard that but haven't seen anyone try it. Not a huge fan of the "off the shelf" make your tire shine products.

Don't use any paints or white letter paints etc-don't do any sanding etc, rubber roller rejuvenation etc.Youa re going to ruin your tires. I had a set of NOS N50 Pro Tracs from the mid 70's.. Used Westleys Bleche white on the letters with a stiff brush and the tires as well and they came out like new and they looked way worse than yours. I use Team 303 Protectorant as it has no alchohol or petroleum in it that destroys rubber like STP or Armor All. The RV association of America recommends Team 303. Gives a nice even black sheen After Team 303 they look like new. |

I have a stiff bristle brush I use on my shower I will give that a try with Westley's, (if you can still buy it in the stores). Aslo this 303 protectant, are both of these available at the auto parts store? ...and yes they are different tread, not a big deal to me from side to side, as they are just going on the rear. They're not strikingly different, just different but good eye. |
