That's post break in. Armor all is the right stuff to help get compound off.

I have some spare CLP break-free on the gun bench would that be a suitable substitute to Armor-all if I really soak it in well?    [laugh]

I have a point too...

except it's on top of my head.

If anyone thinks either armor all or penetrating oil is the hot set up for a tire...

they deserve to crash.

FWIW, I use a prroduct a called RU-Glide to mount my tires.  It's a soap-like substance and it makes kind of a mess.  When I'm done mounting and balancing a tire, I put a little in a bucket with water and wash the wheel and tire, including taking a few runs around the tread with the soap and a new Scotch Brite pad.  Never had an issue.

Like others have previously posted, I believe heat cycles are more important to breaking in a new tire.
