Need Help!
So, me and my daughter were in the garage last night when she decided to grab some Armor-All and spray it all over the back tire of my bike. Does anyone know of any trick to getting this off, or do I just need to go ride it and hold on for dear life????

I guess you got a few options.
Ride some dirt/gravel road for a bit and let it rip!
A bit drastic but I guess a burnout would help as well, this one even has a coolness factor included that will make your neighbours love you forever :P
Or just ride it normally, shouldn't take long before it's off, sort of like when the tires are new.

Would a quick wipe of pre-paint or brake cleaner not be ok as it evaporates instantly and takes grease with it? Or a bit of a rubbing with some coarse sand paper???

I would think brake cleaner would harm the tire.
Soap and water and a Green Scrubby.

I got a bit of Armour-all sray on the mate-finish on my helmet... messed it up. While I was cleaning the visor with windex, I tried a little on the bit where I got armour-all on it... worked like a charm. Not sure how it'll work on a tire though.
