    I use a commercial brand that is clear, no sling and it dries to a non greasy look. It is designed to keep the natural new black tire look. This stuff is amazing and I have been using it for 27 years in my 39 years old detailing business. I used everything on the market as samples are sent to me weekly and I try them and end up giving it away or throwing it away. One good thing is this stuff last for months and I buy it by a 5 gallon bucket. I always spray it on a tire applicator or by a round soft sash brush, then wipe it down.

    Hi. Do you mind sharing information about the rims on your truck? I’ve been looking at getting wheels like yours for a long time. Thank you!

    Tire dressing of choice applied with a detail factory curveball brush. Carpro PERL, Amsoil Mudslinger, or Lucas Slickmist tire and trim shine and my go-to's for dressing. The reason for the curveball brush is it gets into every spot on a sidewall without overspray and can apply a light, thin coat that will dry to a matte finish. The goal is not extreme shine, just protection from sun and to make cleaning the tires easier.

    No sling, 'new tire new rubber' clean look, good for the rubber.
