Default Armor All soaked in Drag Radials! Help!!

Ok so I put Armor All on the sidewalls of my Hoosier Drags while they were off the car now it seems as if the Armor All has soaked into some of the foot print of the tire! Would a nice burn out remove this or will I just have have to buy a new set.. Thanks..

I would think a good burnout would take care of it. In essence, a burnout is going to remove a thin layer of the tire itself, which if that thin layer is soaked with that stuff, it will too be gone. I really can't think of anything else you could do.

If I had seen this post back on 4-16-15 I would have advised you to just send them to me and buy a new set.

I'm just kidding lol, glad it worked out for you. Nice 60', what did you end up running?

Lmao.. Well I had the tires stored in the garage when I was panicking.. Then we started to get some cool weather down here a couple of months later so I just decided to put the tires on to make a couple of runs..
