Tire Help

Hello
I Managed to get some white paint overspray on my tires. It is really on there and I am unable to get it off. Do you guys know of any products that you put on that will cover it up. Or a way to get it off the tire looks like it was shot with a shotgun... splatter
Thanks

A couple of light passes with a wool pad took care of some paint on my tires. Might want to give it a shot. Just remember to dress em afterwards.

The steel wool might scuff a little too hard, brillo/copper pads should be slightly softer. You might also try a clay bar if it's light or you have trouble getting that last little bit off.

I use mother's reflection's tire care, a natural like shine that's pretty even and doesn't fling off. Formula 303 is also a great choice if your not looking for super shiny.
