Tire dressing

There's a clip on the hangover where the father in law says..."just make sure to armoral the tires" lol I guess that's where I got it from. I'm gonna shine my tires up every wknd because I want to and I can. Looks damn good when I clean her up. Everybody spent money on their jeep to do whatever they want to do on their jeep. You don't want shiny tires leave the mud on them and have it look dirty? To each their own.

:thumbup: I was just saying everything I've read has said it's super bad for them. A lot of guys care about the life of their tires and some do not so I was just trying to be helpful, since I assume this is directed at me as I'm the only one that said I prefer mine covered in mud. Most people can also afford tires much sooner than I. I wasn't bashing or anything man I'm just saying it seems bad for it. You do you! If you want shiny tires I support it!

You did also say you need dressing to prevent dry rot unless you were incorrect i and I was just pointing out it was incorrect to prevent the spread of misinformation

Hell I doubt the dressing makes that much of a difference anyway!

Are there any tire safe shines avavible?

@Tj04, ha, ghetto butter is a name I heard years ago and liked it. I don't use it as it seems to be one of things that you need to keep reapplying once you get started. Plus is attracts dirt and flings on the fenders which again attracts dirt. It's a tire, no need to shine it up. But that's my take on it, yours may vary.
 
I don't use ghetto butter anymore. I ended up preferring to just wash the tires and wheels and call it done. Looks great. They're already black. Why do I need super black or glossy black? So I can pick up dust? I actually used to think it looked better, but not anymore. I prefer to wax the paint job now
 
I love hearing all the optional/non traditional products to goop your tires. Good stuff!

I do never use this product before for tire dressing, but long ago we was able to get liquid silicone that we apply to the tries using a 2" paint brush. It's attract the dust but it was shine. I do not longer use tire dressings, move up to just use Bleachee White. But I will like to said give it a try and see how long last and who happy you can be with it.
If end up using it, Please replay to see your input.

I like my tires pure black, but not shiny. We have a lot of clay type dirt around here, and some will almost stain your tires so they can have a grey/brown look to them. I'll either use the tire cleaner at the car wash, or simple green at home when I wash it. I try to be careful not to get much on my aluminum rims, and wash it off fairly quickly. If that doesn't do it, I'll use the cheapest ArmorAll, with lowest amount of shine, then wipe them after applied to reduce any shine.

I have aluminum wheels too. I didn’t consider it but are you suggesting that the cleaner is bad for aluminum? Maybe something I should avoid?

So I have heard. I think you're fine as long as it isn't on there long enough to start drying and etching. Don't trust me though, you may want to check with Google ;-)
