Default Tire Cleaner / Shiner

My new (used) car was gorgeous. We had the dealer do it all. PPF etc, So spiffy and shiny. I loved the way she looked, with the glossy black tires. Unfortunately, two weeks after picking her up, I had to go up to Central PA because grandma was in the hospital and not doing well. My uncle flew in from GA and was going to borrow my other uncle's car for the duration of his stay.. Regrettably, I volunteered to drive him over the get it - forgetting about the fact that he lives in the woods with a dirt lane for a driveway. I dropped him off and night. Came out to my car the next day and kicked myself, as it looked like I had gone off-roading in my dear Shatzi! Mud all over her. Honest to god, if I had it to do over again, I would make him walk up the lane of called my uncle to come get him! Hubby was nice enough to take her to the drive through car wash when we finally returned home, but the tires never cleaned off well, They're dingy from the mud. So now, in a effort to restore her to her most beautiful self, I am wonder what is the best way to clean them and shine them back up?

You can just use a all purpose cleaner to clean them with a brush if necessary and then you can apply a dressing to it. A good durable one is meguiars all season dressing. You can get a gallon of it cheap on Amazon and youll have it forever. Also It lasts for a very long time and it'll make the tires look better than new. You can get fancy and buy a specific rubber cleaner but a all purpose cleaner will do or even just soap and water with a brush.

Take a look at the Sonax products. They are the best.
