I know first hand most of the spray on products say for a dull look to wipe it off the tire rather than let it sit and soak. Have you tried that?

You could also try a product for refreshing the black bumpers/fenders/etc instead of tire black. I think Mothers makes a black restore product if I remember correctly. This may be more flat color like what you are looking for.

Lots of great choices out there. Just need to know where to look. I use a site called Detailed Image. They do only high quality products for the most part and is geared towards auto detailers. I use Tuf Shine Tire Clear Coat. I put it on 3 weeks ago and looks like I did them yesterday. Washed the Jeep several since then even. It is expensive, but worth it for having them look great regardless of weather and it lasts a long time. Especially if you only want a nice matte finish and not shiny.

 

Black Magic ( formerly Westleys) Bleach White and then a light coat of pledge.

 

So in all my years of driving (since the early 70's) I have never really put anything on my tires other than soap and water. I was in the store today and they had the black magic bleach white for a couple bucks so I bought some. I used that then the lemon pledge and man it worked great.

 

Yeah. I just use pledge or generic brand. Target brand works well. Deep dull black. Clean it good first

Adam's Polishes is my go to for IMHO the best car care products. I use their Tire and Rubber Cleaner and usually that's enough to bring the tires back. Sometimes I'll use their VRT which is a low gloss dressing. Plus, they are a great company to deal with and Adam is a hell of a nice guy.

No Touch - Tire Dressing and Foam products

^^ I used this for a decade on two sets of Jeep tires

It leaves a nice satin black look on the tire. Getting hard to find in my area though- so hard I haven't seen a can in a few years. Miss that stuff :redface:.

 

I have a gallon that is almost gone but it took over 5 years and 3 vehicles. Transfer to a squirt bottle and spray on the tires. Let set for a minute and use power washer to clean off before it mucks up the driveway. Air dries to a nice clean black

Dot 3 brake fluid. Just keep the same rag with the bottle and never wash it.

 

I don't want brake fluid slinging onto my paint. Especially DOT 3, which is not compatible with natural rubber. :whistling:

 

Pledge. And as an added bonus, your tires will smell lemony fresh.

 

I dont wash my Jeep often but decided to clean it up after my last trip. I had some very difficult brown stains on my tires that I could not get off with various tire cleaners. I ended up using comet soft scrub and a scrub brush and eventually got the stains out. I put a little Mothers Back to Black on the fenders and tires and it looks pretty good. My Jeep is bed lined and there is nothing shiny on it so I get where the OP is coming from.

 

Bleche wite- yep, that's how it is spelled, I looked it up. good tire cleaner, Just cleans, no shine.

 

I haven't tried Pledge/furniture polish but I've heard several people swear by it.

 

Simple Green and water, a 50/50 mix in a spray bottle. It's cheap and it works well. Wet the tire, spray it on, let is sit for a couple minutes, scrub with a brush, rinse, let dry. Nice black and natural looking tires.

 

One thing I do know since the lift and larger tires my Wife wants to kill me. Ruining shorts daily rubbing against my tires.
Make sure whatever you use washes out!

 

Same problem here. Some of the stuff seems to pull your clothes into it as you walk by.

 

I've always used Fantastic. The original. Works great on plastic and tires. Gets all the mud/dirt stain off the sidewalls with no shine.

 

I use this, just spray on and let sit, don't wipe it off. The next day they will be nice and black.

 

This:

 

That's what I use also, great product that's priced well.

 

I've been searching around as well for something. One of the big factors is to clean them well first to get the seepage of the anti-mold stuff off (Brown residue)

 

I'd like them black but not sticky. When I picked up my Jeep the dealer had armor-alled the tires. a little bit of time in the dirt and the tires looked like dirt

 

 

My tires are usually mud brown.

 

Protectant 303 actually protects the rubber. Also great for all the plastic and under the hood. Between the JK, trailer, and Ram I buy the stuff by the gallon on line. I just did a clay bar wax with their quick spray wax, great.

 

Mink Oil like you would use on motorcycle saddlebags.

 

Second for pledge

If you can find it, Frenzy makes for some easy cleaning, waxing, and protecting. The Ultra V is great on tires and plastics.
