Anyone have a good method.
I decided to just go for a plod around and then ended up doing circles around a car park until I realized that every bay had an oil patch/stain.

I am only on 15 miles atm, and have about an inch on either side to scrub.
 
I honestly considered a belt sander...not removing rubber just making the wheel spin on the abrasive belt, 5 mins of that would do the trick.
I'm not really sure I need to scrub in anyway as you have to take it easy for the first 100 miles - I take it easy almost always.
 
I am now 90 miles in and not even wore off the nipples yet.
The tyre seems to be ok though and is already a good way grippier than the last one.
I always go the long way home which means I take on one twisty road (2 long rights and a couple of medium lefts) instead of no bends at all.
I keep looking for a good couple of left handers to balance out the roundabouts but theyre few and far between around here....perhaps I need to get out more
