    Ok guys already lacking confidence as I have fresh tyres on, I have now dropped polish onto my rear tyre while polishing for tomorrow's ride!
    What do I do? I tried wiping off but have just spread it :(

    HELP

    WD40 .... that should get it off....:p:p

    THB..I wouldn't get too stressed over it Martin...just keep it steady away for the first mile and the abrasive tarmac will take off any substance and warm the rubber...I noticed a fair sized patch of oil on my tyre (Supercorsa) today as I wheeled it down my drive, but I always go steady at first and completely forgot about it and never noticed anything adverse

    Brake cleaner if you're worried about it.

    I just gave it a good scrub with some fairy liquid and then a good hose off I think that may have done it

    Had same with mine, tad of brake cleaner on a cloth did the trick, at least you never tried putting tyre shine on like someone who I know of who came straight off bike on a roundabout lol (only @ slow speed)
