The only thing I would do differently is not use a microfiber towel on tires. The tires came out nice.

Adam's Super VRT is great stuff! :thumb:

I used to use it on my matte stripes before I got the hood. I still use it on my trim, diffuser, and front end... and I have used it on my tires before. It brings out a clean black to it all.

Tire dressing eats away at rubber over time. Don't believe me scrub your tires & wheels clean & dry them, cloth gets black.

It looks great. Lasts 3-4 power wash car washes... if you're like me, that's 3-4wks, and who goes that long without detailing their Camaro again lol?

I wouldn't worry about Applying tire dressing to stock Pirelli tires as they'll wear out before any dressings would cause any faded appearance problems.

I just use paper towel to dry the tires. It is cheaper and better than getting the micro fiber dirty with tire gunk and road grime. There is always some left regardless of how well you clean the tires.

try Meguiars Reflect Shine. So far the best stuff I've used. Gets a really wet deep black shine. Last about a week.

Thats interesting... do you get the white fuzzes on the tires or does it not come off on the tires?

Yeah thats why i usuallly designate microfibers for my car and different ones for my tires.
