Tire care

Is there a tire cleaner/conditioner that will not pick up road dust? I drive a 1/4 mile on a dirt road each way into work and an looking for something to dress my tires that is not a magnet for dust.

Hyperdressing cut 4:1 hand buffed and allowed to dry well.

I don't drive it down dirt roads a lot everyday. However I do live in a very dusty climate and have done some dirty road driving and dirt hasn't stuck much worse than it does to a tire that's just good and clean.

These are pictures that I took of my truck a while back to show exactly that.
They were both taken one week after detailing the tuck and hitting both tires and wheel wells with HD 4:1. It had seen some short stints on some hardpack dirt roads.

It is not a cleaner however. Have to use something else for that like simple green, apc, apc+, etc....

Thanks! Can you pick up the HD at any local auto supply store? And is it only in gallon jugs?
