Default Tire Dressing

What's the best tire dressing out there? Tired of all the garbage that's out there.

Default Bleach White. And I'll tell you why

Most tire dressings are silicone oils. How well do you think your traction is when (not if) the oil comes between the road and your tires (after the water washes it off the sidewalls). Bleach white get the crap off the rubber (brake dust, dirt, oxidation, etc) and gets it clean, down to the rubber. It leaves the rubber a dark flat black color, the natural color of the rubber. I've been detailing for years with it.

Default i use armor all regular, its easy to clean off with simple green...stay away from the heavy oils

that stuff gets all over the fenders and stains the paint, not to mention attracts that much more dust.
