Arrow Tire beautification

What is the best product/procedure to keep our tires looking nice and black? I don't want these tires turning brown like I see on alot of cars....

I use mcguires hot shine, it works really well, and it doesnt fly off if you drive the car soon after applying it.

wheels reach much higher temps than the body does, and any ole wax will just melt away very quickly... i think they have specialty wheel waxes, but i do not know what...

No, no, no...

First off, when you wash your car, spray your tires with an engine degreaser. Don't let the degreaser sit on it too long (maybe 10 seconds), just spray and wash it off. That gets all the oil, past waxes, past treatments, and gunk buildup off the tires. Let it dry and then proceed to do whatever you need to do to it. I recommend Meguiar's Hot Shine. Makes it look wet and sexy!

don't use meguiars hot shine. its over priced, its doesn't last long, and it makes my tires turn brown. i almost used it on my friend's car when he entered a car show but it came out of the can fuccen broken. 5 dollars for brown tire shine. not for me.

i use no touch tire shine. the one in the purple can. it isn't as shiny as the hot shine but its shine. it lasts long and even when the shine goes away, it keeps your tires black. cheap too. i get it at costco for like 7 dollars for 3 bottles. good price for me.

I don't know what imitation hot shine you bought, but my meguiar's hot shine works perfectly. Do you not clean the tires and degrease them before you apply it? That could be why it kept getting worse and worse.

Armor All tire wax is the shiznit. It comes with an applicator sponge so you don't get on your rims or overspay on the paint. You can just put it on for high gloss or apply it then wipe it off for just a clean look.
