im getting, new tires in a week so it shouldnt really matter. But they just wont come clean, i have washed, scrubbed, dish soap, I even bought some spray on degreaser and it still wont work. With every wipe there is always more grease, I spent 3 hours today just cleaning and they still arent clean.
