Brush in a tupperware setup
Hey all, I've seen almost everyone has a tupperware with a brush laid down inside and it's filled with water. I understand it's used to clean your tires but what type of brush (Hard/Soft) should be used for Soft/Slick (Running on clay).
Thanks...
Thanks...

Simple green has changed, and it is no longer as good for the tires. I just use water to clean my tires.
I use an air compressor to keep my car clean, but from time to time I will use a 1 inch paint brush or old toothbrush. Lately I've been using citrus solvent for cleaning stuff that is stubborn or really dirty. $2 or so from the hardware store. Pledge or a light coat of WD-40 will make your car look clean.

Get the Rubbermaid “brilliance” brand tub
It has the black rubber seal and black clips to hold tight.
it doesn’t leak and is air tight.

A tire wash rig is just a brush glued into a container. Does the brush fit into the container? Really about it.

They had to change the chemical makeup of simple green back in 2013 for them to be able to call it "environmentally friendly". Even before 2013 they'd removed oil of wintergreen as an active ingredient. Oil of wintergreen is the ingredient that softens rubber (oil of wintergreen is used in some tire sauces too).

one thing I saw someone do (and he sent me the crank) was use one of those igloo or whatever coolers and he put in a crank where you can bolt the tire to and crank away. still have the crank he sent me, just never got around to installing it. Would be a cool setup.
