So I heard Baby shampoo and water is the best to wash dirt track kart racing tires in because it doesn't degrease the natural oils in the tires like soaps that degrease which would cause them to make them harden after a couple washes if degreasing soaps are used, I was wondering of this was true
 
Its two fold... simple green and other degreasers pull the oils to the surface and create great bite... however over time they can pull the oils and harden the tire but if your prepping/conditioning weekly, it won't hurt a thing, at least not for the average life span of a race tire.

I used the TrackTac blue tire wash and loved it, but at $20 a qt it got expensive and we went back to diluted simple green, no difference was found in our program.

We sell it for $20 a gallon.
 
I dilute the Trac Tac tire wash. Guess I'm real cheap! I feel the Tire wash was formulated for the tires and preps so it was a better choice i also have a great deal of money invested in my tires . simple green is a swiss army knife of cleaners and i don't believe tires were the intended purpose. It's great for washing air filter though.
