Among other things, [Naphta (a.k.a. camping fuel)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_fuel) can be used for removing glue residue, cleaning brushes and dissolves latex. Any danger in using it to clean the gunked up tubeless sealant from my tires?
I’ve been scrubbing a 29″ tyre in hot water for well over 90 minutes and got to remove barely half of the caked up DocBlue.
I tried a tablespoon of Naphta on a small patch and it seems to come off straight away, but I have no idea if it does any damage (short or long term) to the rubber compound of the tyre…
Thanks in advance!

Do not.
Naphta will damage rubber.
Why do you want to remove the sealant? Just keep topping it off until the tyre dies, it’s not like tyres last more than a couple of doses of sealant anyway.
