Yeah, so I misinterpreted my dad's instructions, and I put it all over the tires. Wow I feel like an idiot. How can I get this junk off so I don't kill myself? :cry:

lol
btw... WHY would you put armor all on a motorcycle tire?
PS. I'm assuming you're using the tire shine, right?
Yeah, that's the stuff. I googled it, but I was wondering if anyone here had something more to offer than 303, methylated spirits, or Simple Green and water. I mean, the motorcycle is my only source of transportation during the day, and I'm limited on resources.
Sandpaper?
I thought the same thing, maybe that and dish soap and water for a nice scrub down?
If all else fails use brake parts cleaner, but apply to a rag then wipe down, that stuff will eat paint off.. I use it for many things, preping parts for paint, taking off rubber undercoating that was baked on for over 25 years on a 69 mustang mach 1's inner fenders.... you get the gist. Yeah I really used it for that, best thing is that its a SOLVENT that dries with no residue of its own.
don't know if you know this, but armor all causes pre-mature dry rotting. it's terrible stuff. the only good product from them is the interior cleaner
:whisper: Soap and hot water with a scrub brush will do just fine! I suggest you dry thouroughly and take for a low speed ride (short) to rub off residue. Low speed sharp turns in a parking lot should do the trick nicely. You need to worry about the side tread more then anything else. The center tread will wear off in minutes.

+1 ...
The Buddha's middle name is armorall ... and well buddha spray it everywhere but tars. Buddha tells his neighbor kids its milk he's sprayed ... Buddha is bad dude who make fun of know it all teenagers.
Cool.

I bet it's flammable, that sounds like the easiest way to get it off to me, haha, just keep a fire extinguisher around. I had a co-worker who put it all over her tires once. She never ended up going down, but she didn't lean over too far either. Either way, I'd find something strong to take it off. The dish soap may work, but that's something I'd want to make sure was completely off of my tires before I went for a ride.
Its water soluble.
There is a paste that I have that is an old school amway product I used to dilute with water when I had to spray it ... but it was a cream and apply it with your hands ... AKA, cant get into hard to reach spots and takes time and is messy ... and that fu(ker will slicken up and soften everything ...
Like You can apply it on the outside of the air box a good couple times spread across 1-2 hours and the inside of the air box will get darker and oilier and will start shedding dirt ... it was that slippery. Anyway its water soluble and it will get nice and clean with a scrub with h2o and a car wash soap.
Cool.

They're lying. You can't get armor all off. You must buy new tires.
Trust me :thumb:
At least you didn't put NOS in the tank....
Just playin' about the new tires thing.

Haha well I mean, it's pretty close...
Well I took dishsoap, some water, and a good stiff-bristled brush and scrubbed each tire down for a good 10-15 minutes. Then I took it out for a little ride around the neighborhood and everything seemed pretty much the same.

f you looked at my chain lube thread, you'd see that that probably isn't a bad idea, haha.
Just let it dry/absorb into the tar.
Cool.

Yeah, I dried it with a shammy, let it sit for an hour then took it out again for 30-some miles. Everything seemed fine to me, no problems. :D Thanks for your help everyone.
