Stainblocked it forst, as the stuff will stop the rubber staining the white gloss.. plus it doesn't seem to want to come off anything you put it on.

I'm only showing you one...... the best effort one!

So now waiting to clean the car and hopefully jet wash them off... as I think it'll come off like that. lol




But I do like the F1/rally/ race car style lettering on tyres... is there a brand that does it from new??

You used to be able to buy tyrewall paint.

I remember going round and painting all my Goodyear G800+S tyres, even touching in the bit that said 175/70 13

Once done it looked OK from viewing distances, but soon wore off.

I've marked the arrows and bits on my mountain bike tyres too..........

Awful and tacky. It just shows you can't buy good taste or class.
