Your Favorite Tire Dressing?

I like a matte finish tire dressing. Not too big of a fan of a high gloss shine on an off road vehicle.

Been using aero cosmetic rubber care for awhile now and love it.

gives rubber a deep matte black look.

what’s your favorite?

 

Ranch!!

I'll have to check out aero cosmetics, I'm not a fan of shiny tires.

 

meguires tire gel

 

Works great on black plastic trim parts as well. I use it on my bed cover to restore a black look on it too.

 

Water and soap works well enough if you're just looking for a matte black look.

 

Water and soap clean gives the rubber on my tires an uneven yellow tinge to them in some areas.

 

None, I don't need salad oil on my tires. It seems like tire dressing just attracts more filth

 

I scrub off the brake dust and scmutz with Simple Green and a nylon brush. Rinse with water......air dry.....done.

I used tire schmear/shine once.....hated it. Could fathom no benefit. Just a lighter wallet.

Never an issue with the rubber "dry rotting" or damage, no perceived extra life.

Spend your $$$ if you wish. My dressing is water followed with air dry.

 

Same. Especially w mud and dirt.

 

Yup. It’s nothing horrible but it is an uneven patch of rust/yellow color along the wall of the tire.

 

I don't care for tire dressings. All they do is attract dust on a dirt road. Had to wash the stuff off that the detail guys put on the tires at the dealership.

 

Here is a picture after my truck was fully detailed a few weeks ago. NV Car Care applied to the tires and this picture was taken 5 min after application. It is not silica based so it won't sling all over the paint and dries within immediately to this matte look.

 

Nice. That’s the deep matte I like as well

 

I prefer mud.



Seriously, though. Any time I go through a car wash that puts tire shine on, it looks nice for a day and then looks like shit for a month from dirt sticking to it.

 

Are we going to Mt. Shasta or the Mt. Shasta Mall

 

I avoid high shine for that reason. They are glue for all the junk on the road. Matte tire dressings don’t leave that sticky residue

 

@Unchained 5150 Tell 'em

 

That sounds a lot better than the types of tire shine I have experienced. I guess I wouldn't really mind that, but my truck is never clean for more than a few days at a time anyway LOL.

 

I’ll stay back on this one for now

 

I don't use anything. My friend bought a set of 3rd Gen alloy wheels and whatever tires. He's giving me 4 almost new and 1 (spare) new set of 265 75 16 Duratracs.

I won't use anything on those either.
