    I use Black Maxx. Its a cleaner/degreaser that I get at NAPA. Bout 5 bucks for a big spray bottle. I go around and hit all the tires with it and by the time i'm done spraying i got back and hit it lightly with a brush and rinse off. Look brand new when ur done and doesn't make the tires look all dry like some stuff does.

    x2!!! This stuff is the absolute best tire cleaner..just remember its made to remove all the crud from tires not shine 'em so you'll need tire shine after using this. After u rinse the tire looks brand new. Also, if your tires have the white lettering facing outward this will work wonders

    I spray my tires/rims with Greased Lighting then I hit them with Comet and a scrub brush. Since they are both a bases it cuts through the grease and road grime. The comet also cleans the white lettering, for those of you who have it. It leaves the tires really clean, so when I put Armor All it shines the tire better...

    On your tires try powdered comet. I know that may sound odd but take me serious it looks nice when they are done!
