tire dressing

Does anyone have any recommendations on tire dressing that doesn't turn your tires a brownish color?? Also, I'm looking for the best shine that will stay on the tire for awhile?

Thanks!

Vinaigrette?




lol, honestly i've never seen any tire dressing that didn't cause this issue. They(dressings) inherently attract dirt like magnet, hence the brown(dirt) look after a while. I no longer use them, i just scrub the tires at every washing, keeps them looking like new.

use the gel, the spray gets it all over your wheels if you use too much and gets your wheels dirty

Ah but you can if you spray the inside of your wheel wells with tire dressing too.
It darkens em up real nice and if it slings up in thur, no harm no foul. Looks good all round.


on the wiping your wheels too btw. Best to either spray and wipe or just straight up wipe.

Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Spray
http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/produc...?T1=MEG+HOT+32

I use this on my car and I'm serious it's nice and stays on atleast a week or two depending on the weather conditions. You can either spray it on your tires or dress it on something to apply. I spray 2-3 sprays on a regular dish washing sponge and apply it to my tires. It really makes it shine and it has anti-ozonant which is supposedly suppose to keep black tires black and doesn't make your tires turn brown. It's like $5.99 I believe.
