Cleaning Tires
Recently I've have had problems cleaning the wheels on my ZL1 and Meg D101 all purpose cleaner with a brush isn't cutting it. I still see the brown baked brake dust in the tire. I wanna make my tires pure black again but I'm stumped on this. Any ideas?

My Pirelli P Zeros had started getting the brown sidewall a few months after I bought the car. The dealer had put some kind of dressing on them when new. I didn't know how to get rid of the brown so I emailed Pirelli. They said to clean the tire with a mild soap and tire brush and NOT to use any tire dressing.
I put some Ivory Liquid soap in a bucket of water and got a tire brush at WalMart. After a good scrubbing, the brown was gone. I haven't used any tire dressing and the tires have not turned brown again yet. |

I use the same car wash optimun on tires. I agree those armorall and tire black products decay to brown.

I use Simple Green to clean the tires then Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Spray.
The Meguiar's Hot Shine works great on tires & plastics. Gives that deep black look without looking greasy.

Here's a curve ball....try Amazing Roll-Off that is a powerful multi-surface cleaner that will make your tires so clean that has the matted look that some folks like to see.

I would use armor all's foam cleaner, I use it for my ride, all I do is apply it to the tires and leave it. Its pretty nifty how well it cleans it. Give it a try
