Default How to remove rash from tire sidewalls?

Got a little carried away aiming for curbs.
Retarded I know but all the cars in my life had low profile tires and it felt good not fearing the curbs.
But my tires look like poo now :lol: Wheels are fine

You could try a palm sander.

Wranglers are about the only vehicle where light abuse not only fits, but kinda looks good. I am not at all a fan of the crushed panels, and don't ever want one / would have it fixed - but light damage is in a weird way nice. Just roll with it, and consider it a perk.

The Jeep Doc prescribes a minimum of 4 to 8 hours of off road use, this is Dirt roads, or Rocks, Trails and a light application of dust and/or mud. Snow is also very helpful. Perform once daily for 2 days or more. That should heal the rash. Using the prescription more then prescribed will produce further enjoyment.

Lol! Scrub with a course brush and get a tire shine applicator and spray bottle tire shine at the local parts store and your golden! Works everytime with my KM2's
