Back in the day I used Armor all, STP Son of a Gun, Black Magic or Tire Shine. I know most detailers use Tire dressing. What product do you use to clean your tires to make them look new?

I think there are better choices today than Armor all. I have used black magic tire foam it is quick and easy and looks good.

Whatever is the cheapest at Wal Mart per ounce. I find it all pretty equal. I use an alloy wheel cleaner and a large brush dunked in a bucket of water. Use it on the tires and wheels, and scrub all that crap off. Then wash the entire car, dry, and use some tire foam as a finishing touch.

I have used them all and they all fade inside a week, if that. BTW, you can use tire shine on black trim. No need to buy another bottle.

Clean; I used a bush and car wash soap. For dressing I use a non-shine coating from chemical guys. Hate the look of greasy tires; personally.
