If you want your tires to have the black wet look and last quite a while heres what you do. Spray Bleache White tire cleaner all over the sidewall, let sit for 2-3 mins and soak. Then scrub with a scrub brush and rinse. Youll notice a buch of yellow and brown stuff runningg off the tires and thats all the builtup junk coming off. Wait about 1/2 - 1 hr or until fully dry, then coat with a coating of Armor All Detailers Advantage Tire Foam. This REALLY works and stays lookin good a while even through rain!

To get the best wet look from your tires, clean them with Bleache White, let soak for 2-3mins then use a scrub brush and scrub all the film off your sidewalls. Rinse and let dry. Then use Armor All Detailers Advantage TIre Foam and let dry. WOW what a shine. Works great for me and even lasts through a rain or two!

Thumbs up

I just found something that works really well!! I was curious to see what would happen if I did the tires while using Mothers Back to Black on the trim. It took two coats, but it worked great!! The tires were black and shiny, but completely DRY!! No wetness at all. No sling-off, either!! Give it a try.,,,,98

tire shine--

i use bleache white on my blackwalls then scrub them while the bleache white is still soaking in to them. Then i rinse the tires and after they dry they look brand new- all the buildup and other crud is gone. Thats when i apply Armor All Detailers Advantage tire foam and makes it look spectacular!

Green_98......what the heck is "Bleache White" and who makes it?

We need a product that cleans up the white lettering at the same time as the black walls!

My tires.

This is what I get from cleaning the rubber with "Simple Green" followed by "Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Long Lasting Gel". It doesn't turn the tires brown, like every other tire dressing I've used. I also use the tire dressing on the wheel well skirts.

To clean the white letters after everything was dry, I used a rag with "Mineral Spirits" and simply rubbed it back and forth across the raised white letters. There's no need to outline the letters. Just run the rag across them, and wipe them with a dry cloth. It only takes about 2 minutes to clean the letters on all 4 tires.

I use the Turtle Wax "Tire Wax" some of the best stuff i have seen. You can choose how golssy you want to go depending wether you wipe it off when you are done or not. It goes on quickly and lasts a while (I always notice there is still some when I wash my truck again) but it does not fling onto your paint. The only bad thing is if you have raised white letters you have to take a few extra minutes to get inbetween the letters oh well Great stuff though


About The Bleachy White. I heard that stuff can screw up your rims (take the coating off) I duno if that is true but that what I heard
