Tire cleaner?
I have used no touch tire cleaner in the past, and frankly do not like the wet look it gives the tires. What cleaner/conditioner do you guys like to make older tires look like new?

Try using Amazing Roll-Off to clean them first or our Eimann Fabrik Tire Cleaner and to recondition them I would start with Lexol Vinylex. It's a patented formula designed to clean and renew any vinyl, rubber or plastic surface in one easy step. Vinylex actually penetrates below the surface layer to restore the underlying plasticizers. This deep penetrating cleansing system then lifts dirt and grime to the surface where it is easily wiped away.

Meguiars Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel. I apply by hand. I squirt the size of a dime in the palm of my hand, rub my hands together and apply by sweeping one hand in one direction, followed by the other hand in the other direction, about 3 sweeps for each direction. I then inspect the tire to locate any areas of the tire where the gel has collected and take my finger and wipe those areas out removing the excess gel in the groves. This prevents slinging.

Griots Rubber Prep and Amazing Roll-Off are great cleaners for tires and prep well for new dressings. It is rather cool to see the browish goop running off the tires even before agitating with a tire brush.

I have found the BEST tire cleaner is Tuf Shine wheel cleaner, while I like ARO a lot I can clean the tires faster with tuf shine. Don't use it on uncoated wheels, ARO is also pretty harsh for them too.

When it comes to a 2 part tire cleaning and protection process, I recommend the following......
Clean and strip
Meguiars #39 - Professional Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner is a tough cleaner that removes heavy dirt and grime from all vinyl, plastic, rubber and urethane surfaces. Apply to vinyl tops, bumpers, plastic door panels, car and boat interiors, luggage and furniture to remove heavy dirt build-up. Meguiars #39 Professional Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner even removes wax stains!
Treat and protect
Stoner Trim Shine - Stoner Trim Shine brightens and protects plastic, vinyl, rubber and leather. It gives a durable, long lasting shine and makes tires look great...often without even wiping. Shines trim and wipes off dirt...all in one fast, easy step.
Trim Shine quickly brings back a shiny, like new finish when sprayed on interior and exterior automotive trim. It even gives a deep, rich showroom finish to tires, bumpers, convertible tops, seat backs, dashboards, arm rests, air vents, gear shift boots, door jambs, steering columns and many other areas. Also available in aerosol cans.
Have a great Sunday....Dave
