I'm not disagreeing with you. I know that they were all called SXT 3.0 and that the red dot was SXT 3.0 Max, no dot (or black) was SXT 3.0 Regular and white dot was SXT 3.0 Lite.....LOL

Back up aways where I describe how to clean them with a Dremel and the nylon wheel. Do it right on the car and cleans better than any chemical I have found.

Tire truer is better…….worst part of the tires is how much they go out of round during a run. You’d be surprised how
many passes it takes to get them even again

I have never been able to post a pic but a video would be better (brain incompatibility I am sure). I have shown this several times to racers at our local track.

Bring it up to the President and V President maybe? I only use it for break in. I normally use lite particularly in this class. I'm surprised you are this worried about max when I have seen people running baja. Not even getting into the cocktail of cleaners used. WD40 anyone? But sure SXT3.0 max is the one thing making the track "greasy"

FWIW to all those saying do or don't clean with this or that or you will ruin the tires - I cleaned my handout set at Snowbirds with Wurth brake cleaner starting with my Rd.4 TQ and also before my A-Main win. Prior to that I was cleaning with just SXT between rounds. But to each their own.

What is the active ingredient in that? Wurth isn't the easiest for some of us to get, and I would like to make sue I'm getting the right stuff.

Thumbs up
I usually clean my tires with motor spray..... Works great..... Takes off the gunk and neutralizes the foam and ready for SXT
Been doing that prep for years.
