What makes tires brown ?
All this time I was thinking it was a combination of tire shine products, mixed with road grime (which is rediculously greasy, grimy, gummy $#!+ to remove)
But then it dawned on me... the little tires on my boat trailer, had gotten REALLY ugly brown, even though they had never seen tire shine products, until recently. They were just kind of "flat" brown. Tire shine made them black again.... but now they will probably be all gummy and effed up if I keep using the tire shine
Keeping these tires clean, and black, is just getting to be more of a PITA than the whole rest of the truck combined !
Hmmm,

PS, Figuring out the Ice trick on my Satin Black wheels, just makes the tires look even worse.... because you have "actual black" right there to compare it too

01, why thank you
Great link Johnny. One page led to another, and I found this;

Anybody ever use this stuff ?
I've tried scrubbing, with soap, degreasers, etc.... until I wore myself out, and my tires were still not completely clean.
Peace,
Fish

And not to distract from jetech's question.....
But my concern about Meguiars rubber cleaner, or especially Wesly's Bleach White, is > I'm totally paranoid about getting it on the Satin Black powder coating of my wheels ! (which I don't see how to avoid)
Last thing I want to do is to screw up my wheels, while just trying to clean the tires

I used westley's bleach white and all sorts of tire foams on my BFGs when I had powder coated black steel wheels on my ranger, never had an issue because I found no reason to believe that any of those products would create a problem. Why do you think they will screw up the finish on your wheels?

I rinse off the tire first then spray it pretty generously with bleach white, then just go over it with a scrub brush and rinse.
