Using something is always good practice. I don't remember seeing any shop do it "dry". Soapy water probably do the same job to be honest.   :thumb:

Yeah, I use diluted water/dish soap in a spray bottle.  Works.  :thumb:

That looks more expensive than Nomar stuff!  I've been using ruglide for lubing.  Between the ruglide, Mojolever & Nomar stand I have been successful in changing my own tires.  Also, letting the tires warm up a bit in the sun turned out to be a big help too.

I use dish soap strait, when it dries it's powder. Then you wash up rim & tire when mounted. Then it's all clean for the balance weights to stick.

I always try to use something that prevents corrosion.  Right now it's No-Mar tire paste.

According to the label.....

- Vegetable based and non-toxic
- Washes with water and inhibits rust

I use a mix of oil-soap and water in a spray bottle.

If you let the Murphy's oil soap dry out in your lube bucket it almost like No-mar paste. I also have some mixed in a bottle by my tire machine. It has the same smell as the No-mar too.. Works as well, and is much cheaper by the gallon..
