lol you dont understand the whitewalls on my car... they get so dirty and i totally need to scrub with a stiffish nylon brush... the black usually doesnt need it but to get the white brite white....



Ohh I have a brass bristled white wall brush, which I use on white walls and white letters. I then use a nylon brush on the blackwall. Combination of these two brushes and Bleche-wite and I have a clean tire in 30 seconds :)
 
Here is TW tire gel. It gives a high gloss when allowed to air dry, which can be softened by buffing a few minutes after application. Here it is in its "glossy" unbuffed state........

Here is Zaino Z16 tire dressing. It gives a low gloss factory sheen.

Both products are durable, and I switch off regularly depending on my mood.......
 
I use Simple Green to clean my wheels and tires, so far so good. Not much scrubbing required. Have been using 303 for the "natural" look, but kinda pricey, so I tried Castrol's tire shine. A little too shiny for my taste, but maybe wiping lightly will kill the wet look. Bottle says no petroleum, and only $4.00 for a 16oz. bottle at Auto Zone. We'll see how the tires look in a week.
 
FUNDRA - be warned that simple green can slowly deteriorate your wheels if you're not careful. If they're clearcoat, the clear will eventually become compromized. You might want to consider switching to a specific wheel cleaner. ;)
