    Armor all or use No touch on your tires? Ok guys, I was 3 into a six pack and I said what-the-hell. It should keep the dirt and dust from sticking to the rubber, right? Well, my tires are nice, shiny mirror black and look absotluely friggen ghey. I'm about to go scrub them but figure I'd check here first. :rofl:

    If I get bashed, by god I deserve it! :D

    I use uh, some spray on stuff.

    They turn brown after a while I guess. But so does the rest of the Jeep so it matches.

    I use Castrol Supper Clean Tire Gloss. After a day or two the gloss wears
    off and the tires have a dull black shinyness. Doesn't attract dirt @ all.

    I use armor all, makes it easier to clean up when I get around to cleaning it up.

    No such care around here. Tires are dirty, and they should stay that way. If the tires (re-treads) looked to great then the rest of the rust/primer/blue/etc would start to look really bad.

    I'd be interested in this as well. Trying to get the Deuce in the 4th of July Parade, kinda want the tires looking good for that.

    I do mine once/year, for the Jeep show. I use a Meguiar's product, Endurance I think it's called. Leaves them a satin black, never turns brown like some brands. Smells like grapes!! R)

    I use Westley's "Bleche White" on the tires/white letters before applying the Endurance. I wash the wheels and tires with normal car wash, then the Bleche White sprayed on the white letters/sidewalls and brushed with a tire brush, then rinse clean. I apply the Endurance after the tires are dry. Turns out good, looks clean but not overdone :)

    Then I drive it to the show... two hours later, after the "shine" part of the show, the obstacle course opens up and there's mud and dirt on everyone's tires R) R)

    No Touch® is the only patented product that combines a cleaner (surfactant), dressing (silicone) and a drying agent (bonding agent) all in one. Original Tire Care leaves a satin finish and is the only one-step tire care that cleans, shines and protects tires......;-)
