Coker redline care
I'm having a hard time making my Coker F70 belted redlines shine. They seem to have a gray-ish look to them. I use (lightly) a dash of Comet on a soft brush with water to scrub the sidewalls and then I usually apply Armor All* with a clean rag. The Armor All works great on other tires and leaves a nice show shine but not on the Cokers. Anyone have a better method of applying a nice shine to Cokers? Thanks in advance.
*This is the ONLY use I have for Armor All.

Re: Coker redline care
A little Wesley's Bleche-White and a stiff bristled brush...then finish 'em off with some Lexol Vinylex.

Re: Coker redline care
Are you talking about the "waxy" substance that seems to build up that is a total pain in the ass to remove permanently ???

Re: Coker redline care
Hey Kid--can I get the Lexol at a car parts place? I saw it available online but there's a show this weekend I'm taking my Camaro to. Oh, and I assume the Wesley's won't harm the red stripe?
Belair--yes, that "waxy" stuff is why I described my tires as turning gray after several weeks. I scrub them and work them with Armor All to subdue it then it slowly comes back. It wouldn't bother me so much if the tires were less expensive!

Re: Coker redline care
Wesley's Bleche White is available at any auto parts store, the Vinylex is a little more "specialty" so you may need to order it online. Bleche White will not harm any tire and will make those redlines pop.
