How to Clean and Shine Your Tires Like a Professional

Tires are often neglected and deserve some special attention to keep them looking the best. Additionally, when you have a specific cleaning regimen for your tires it makes it easier to spot any damage for a timely repair or replacement.

Tires collect large amounts of debris and dust from rolling on the ground and braking. These various contaminants travel through the rubber's pores, causing the tire to look dirty and grey. These contaminants need more than just a rinse to be removed. Here's a quick five step process to help you keep your tires free of dirt and grime and shining like a professional.

Step One: Check the wheel and tire to make sure it's cool to the touch. If it is, wet the tire using a water hose.

Step Two: Generously apply a presoak to the tires with an all-purpose cleaner (degreaser). The degreaser can be used alone or diluted at most a 3 to 1 ratio to be effective. Allow the presoak to set, not dry, for a few 

 Step Three: Fill two buckets: one with clean water and one with soapy water. If it is an extremely hot day, this should be done before the presoaking process to prevent drying.

Step Four: Agitate the tire using a stiff bristled brush, making sure to dip the brush in clean water with every few swipes. Wash the tire with the soapy water, rinse and allow the tire to dry as you move to the other three tires.
Step Five:  Apply the tire shine of your choice. Tire shine comes in two forms: solvent based and water based. Solvent based tire shine is clear and greasy, whereas water based tire shine is milky. It is important to dilute the tire shine when using a spray bottle so that it will spray out of the bottle rather than stream. It makes application easier.  If you apply too much it will run, which can be wiped with a microfiber applicator.
Once all the steps have been completed for each tire, you will have beautiful tires to match your clean car. It may seem like a tedious task to complete but it can save you money in the future.
