In my experience with many different tire products Adam's Super VRT is the only way to go when it comes to a tire care.
So is that why one side of my tire turned brown?! I thought that was just dirt an crap from storage at the dealership while i had my winters on.

It might be... silicone tends to hold dust/dirt and be very hard to remove from the tire. It makes this almost slurry like gunk that builds up. To remove it use a full strength degreaser like our APC and stiff brush before applying anything else. It may take a few treatments to full break the stuff up.

Am a fan of Meguiar's Hyper Dressing dilluted 1:1. Smells amazing and I can spray it right into the fender wells.

I have tried just about every Autozone/Pepboys brand they sell and none of them can compare to Adams VRT. Looks incredible/natural, doesn't splatter onto the rims, water resistant so it lasts longer, and very easy to apply. 1 bottle goes a long way.

I only use Meguiar's Hot Tire Shine Spray and it sure makes your tires look simply amazing.If you apply it lightly or wipe the tire lightly with a rag you shouldn't have
a problem with sling.

Griots Garage tire dressing. You apply it with a sponge so no residu on wheels, love it. Much better than a spray and dirt does not seem to stick to it.

Adam's Super VRT is AMAZING! It makes your wheels black and keeps them black. Protects them from the sun and is dry when applied. Just know they do not make your tires "shine" they give them a low gloss, deep dark black look.
