Alternate tire dressing?

ORSTi · 07-27-2006, 06:36 AM

I'm looking for a different kind of tire dressing. I don't want a shiny, greasy, sticky dressing. I'm looking for (if it exists) a dressing that will just make the tires flat BLACK, not shiny at all, and not sticky.

Water?

Why not just use the tire dressing but rub it in with a towel, it should give it a nice flat look to it

Michelin makes stuff in a blue and yellow spray bottle, got it from autozone. I think they have a whole line of tire care products- cleaner, dressing, brake dust repellent. The dressing works pretty good, not really shiney just flat black.

turtle wax used to make a tire gel that you could wipe off the extra and it would leave the natural flat rubber look

Top of the lines Grape tire dressing workd great. I use it on my moms Jeep since it doesnt need glossy dressings.

I use Vinylex. It's not very shiny, just makes the tires look dark black and best of all it doesn't sling off all over your car

You can use this stuff on all your plastics too.

stoner.

don't remember the name, but it is made by stoner. gives my tires, plastic, vinyl... a nice flat & clean look.

use some vinyl/rubber dressing...like the stuff you would use on the dash but a mild one that is GOOD, not that armorall ****.

usually you can wipe the tire with it and it'll make it look really clean.
