Tire surfacing?

[Fastwood01]

What do you guys spray on tires to keep cool while sanding? Thanks.

 

[racing promotor]

some use just water, some windex, some simple green, I like simple green thinned with water and Methanol.

windex mixed with methonol

Just Windex (non-ammoniated.)

Methanol (alcohol) and Simple Green will bring the oils to the surface - that may (or may not) be what you want to accomplish.

You scuff tires by bolting them on the kart and run them, you re-finish tires with sandpaper.

I buy from Dover his DerKel tire wash and use it for grinding tires too. Good stuff.

I use drywall sandpaper. Doesn't clog up as easy.

Reviving this thread...... looking for something that is neither poisonous or flamable.

Non- ammonia Windex or windshield washer fluid.

Non-ammoniated Windex for me.
