    I dont want a glossy shine on them, I think that looks tacky myself. I just like them to look brand new again whenever I wash my truck. I'm a bit of a detail nut, so this kinda thing really annoys me.
    :rolleyes:

    Armor all is the worst product ever. 303 is good, bug Adam's Super VRT II is the best I have ever used.

    I use the stoner glass cleaner, its amazing.

    but i get the same when i go get my truck wash at a car wash place then after like 2 weeks time or so they get brown like that if u dont keep reshining them, or a quick trip along some loose dirt roads and u just rinse it off, its brown...

    i just run my pressure washer somewhat slowly along the sidewall of my tires and it comes right off, buts its on the wide setting, and i dunno if it matters if u go slow or fast

    if all else fails, bring out the trusty soft wire brush and some soppy water

    yea, i dont really like the shiny ones either, maybe on sport cars or hotrods, but not on my taco. I want my tires too look like how they look after u wash ur truck but ur wheels are wet, but not the shinny wet, its like when its damp but not dry yet, lol.....it just makes my wheels look new again bcuz they have a "new dark black color" like when i bought them, now after they dry they look like a really dark grey :(, unless i add sumthin to it...

    I have been battling the same thing... The tires were brown when I bought it.

    The best thing I've found for removing the brown is curbs :cool:
