I used tyre foam or whatever its called. Makes the rubber on your tyres all shiny and it made my samcos look like new as well.

WD4o to get the worst off, then some washing up liquid in a bucket of water to get the rest off...
Then some silicone spray to made tthem look nice, until all the dust sticks to them!
