Silicon remover? Before white wall paint.

[Fishman43]

So as an asside to my white wall thread that I hope to have updates on in the next day or two now that the house guests are gone and the wifey is off to visit the in-laws for a few days...

The directions for the white wall paint say to clean the tires with a silicon remover before painting. They say that the silicon remover is available at any store that sells auto type products and paint. Anyone know what a silicon remover is, and/ or a product name as well as where to find it for sale?

Otherwise I will be going at the tires with some soapy water and maybe a little paint thinner or alchohol.

Thanks

Bump for comments. I am hoping to start on this tonight.

Googled it and quite a few say "use a silicone remover (spirit wipe). I'd say use mineral spirits or laquer thinner, that might work.

[Fishman43]

Is that the same as paint thinner?

Yeah, it is. But get a good quality thinner. Not dollar store, had some bad times with that crap.
