Can you say $1.00 coin-op car wash? Does good on the tires also, but
then your starting to cross the threshhold of the $1.00 minimum. Got to
dance fast at the coin-op. I always mix dish soap and a small amount of
water to a thick paste, and just smear it on the wheels and tires and let
dry before I head to the coin-op. Kind of like the pre-soak cycle on your or
your wife's washer I should say!
    But I also agree you need to take it back to the shop for the follow up.
They forgot to cut the yo yo string!
