    That would make a real mess of the paint if it got on there. Brake fluid eats paint.

    When I was young, I used to use tire dressing you'd brush on with a paint brush on my Corvettes

    Being older and wiser, I avoid the dumb stuff I used to do when I was younger (mostly)

    I don't use anything on my Tacoma tires. On my cars, I use a product from S&N Products called Super Kote. I apply with a sponge, let it sit/soak...then wipe off really good to prevent it from slinging on to the car.

    -1 for wrong here.
    last time there was tire shine crap on my tires is when i brought it home from dealer after picking it up from purchase. had to remove the slung shine crap from fenders and took it off tires. dealer detailers are idiots.
    does not mean i don't run the sponge over the tires as the last thing after wiping the rims/wheels when i rarely wash the whole thing.

    You're the one that's so full. But you must know that since you know everything. I've never detailed any vehicle including my Corvette let alone the truck! That's not lol.

    Personally I see tires as a sole of the shoe. Why bother cleaning in if it’s gonna get dirty as soon as one goes for a drive.

    Not a chance haha.

    I let the rain and snow clean my tires.

    I used to apply tire shine to my vehicles when I was in my early twenties.
