DirtDiggler69 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Use Tire Wet , makes them super shiny , and it conditions the rubber , keeps them pliable , and water and dirt doesn't stick to it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeDFW Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have tried all sorts of cleaners and degreasers, I use MEK (methyl-ethyl-ketone) and wipe them down real well. Then if you want apply a coat of armor all or tire shine after. The MEK will open up the pores a little and let the tire shine soak in. Your hoses will look like new!

Jereme6655 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 MEK will also dry out your rubber hoses and can lead to your hoses cracking or prematurely failing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick2stroke Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I've had pretty good luck with a brass wire brush and a little soap and water. Then once clean keep some armor all or one of the other rubber conditioners mentioned on them to stay clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
