<p>No problem. It does darken the sidewalls a bit, but they stay clean in the long run. As I'm typically looking to get a few years out of Challenge tubulars, I have always done this in the past.</p>

<p>BTW, those brushes (or those like them from auto detailing shops) are awesome and really are perfect for cleaning your entire bike.</p>

<p>Shaun - are they coated with aquaseal?</p>
<p>Either way, a gentle soap like diluted simple green and a natural fiber brush (like those available at theservicecourse.com) are a good bet to get anything off that hasn't seeped into the fabric.</p>

<p>Coated sidewalls help to prevent some staining, especially from brake dust.</p>
