General Bike Cleaning

Was wondering what everyone is using on tires.

I know tire shine is a no no for safety reasons, but am curious on some safe products to clean the rubber.

Someone told me laundry detergent for car washes, I've been using that for years now on the bike and cars.
Supposed to be gentile to the finish. Wont do the bad stuff like heavy grease and tar.
Tire shine or Armor all, I've use other stuff on tires too,
Just spray on a rag not to tires and apply to the sidewalls stay away from the tread.
It looks nice but doesn't last very long.
Good time to look for checks or any other anomalies.

What JD said is good to go.
Personally I use Autoglym proprietary car care products; because a mate gets it cheap, and I get what he don’t use. But avoid any products on the tyre tread areas. Other brands are Available..
