I agree with gtrider. If you don't clean the tired first you aren't getting near as good of an appearance. Using bleech white and an old Mit or rag to clean the tires takes about 3-4 minutes tops.

To the guy saying how his tires are turning brown: use the bleech white. It may take 2 applications if they are real bad but I promise it will make a night and day difference. You can see the brown running off the tire.

thanks. they just are turning brown around the edge a little bit on one tire. usine tire dressing takes it away and it stays away for a few months. but it always comes back in the same place. i may try that thanks

Hyper dressing in a 1:1 on my truck doesnt. I just spray it on make sure everything is covered, if you wipe it off it wont be as glossy, then be sure to let it dry for a while and stuff doesnt sling on mine and i have tires that stick out

X2 on the westleys bleach white. I really like the armorall tire shine in the clear bottle but you'll use half a bottle on 1 set of tires. I just stick to the plain old milky white armorall, good enough 4 me.

Even so, it takes ten seconds to clean a tire. That is like saying why spray out the wheel wells when you are just going to hit another puddle. No sense in washing the truck at all if you are going to half ass it. I would rather have a completly filthy truck than a half clean/half dirty one.

"NXT Generation Insane Shine Tire Coating" for me it's awesome stuff.....
I let it dry for 30 minutes or so to prevent slinging.......
looks great!
I also use Wesleys Bleech White for the entire tire.

I used to use Meguiars NXT Generation Insane Shine Tire Spray before, it's good if you'r too lazy

now I start using Duragloss Non Silicone Tire Dressing, I hear it's great since it contains no Silicone, here are some pictures

before (not too clear)


after




Keep in mind that my tires are only 2 months old

lol I hear you mate, those wheels just in there for the time being

actually that was just 1 day after dressing them, it lasted around 1.5 week then it lost it's wet look... I think it's good compared to Gel Dressing's as Gel traps lots of sand in no time... just IMO
