Hi: I just bought 4 new Continental DW tires,but now I want make them blacker,but there is some kind of coating on the tires,which seems to be some sort of mold release agent. I need to have this stuff removed before I can apply any type of dressing.Will Tar-X remove this without damaging the rubber? I plan on spraying it on and scrub and then rinse. Will this work and if not what CarPro product will? Thanks,Keith
 
I always use tar x to deep clean the tire before applying PERL. Never add a problem on tires.

Thanks! I guess you meant to say "never had a problem on tires"? So this Tar-X will remove this ugly mold release,no problem?. Should I spray and let it sit for some time(how long)before I scrub and rinse off? Thanks again!
 
Yes meant to say that I never had a problem with tar x on tires. I spray direct on the tire wait 1 or 2min then wipe off, repeat if necessary.
 
Be sure to rinse the tires with a strong stream of water (preferably with a pressure washer, but not a must) after scrubbing.

Certainly dress them afterwards to help to stop this from happening again. CarPro Pearl is amazing as a dressing.

Not sure how this can happen again,as it is only there(mold release agent)one time only, when the tires were manufactured. I want to make sure all the Tar-x is out of the tire pores,as it soaks in pretty good when first sprayed on,before I dress them with Blackfire tire gel. Thanks,Huck:)
