LOL!! First, I used my tan sanding stick from Flex I File. I think it's something like 2800 grit. Sanding softly and using alot of patience the lettering will be gone in around 10-15 minutes. After that I hit the tire with the red sanding stick, 6000 grit until I started getting a shine from the tire. After this I just rubbed the face of the tire across some cloth, (I used the cargo shorts I was wearing with my leg as the backing) for several minutes until I got the shine that you see here.
