You just need to clean your tires more often. Like actually scrub the rubber part down with soap and hot water.

Any thing plastic or rubber on my car gets washed with realy hot water and soap atleast every 2 months, that way i clean off all old armorall and dirt.

Then afterwards i reapply armorall and they lool great again and they may not be shiney for a long time but they never look dull or brown.

I have the armor all tire gel thats specifically for tires.

As for the wheels i use mag cleaner. I forgoet the brand that i use but its something specifically for wheels. Most important is i have a nice brush thats stiff but not like brillo just for my wheels.

Just so you guys know, and I know it makes your tires look great and everything, but that stuff eats your tires up. Seriously. It isn't good for them.

i've read this before too... in more than one spot, can't seem to find it now though

are you serious? it never occured to you that you might need to wash the tires?

tires are probably the most important thing on your car....literally all that stands between you and the road. you should take better care of those than anything else on the car.

motor blows up....it wont flip you over, eject you from the car, and kill you
tranny heads south....so you have to ride the bus to work a few days, but you're still alive
paint gets scratched....yeah it sucks major ass, but you're still alive to fix it

tires have a blowout....you might get lucky and keep it under control, but on the other hand you might NOT be so lucky....either sending you off the road, into the ditch possibly flipping you over and hurting you seriously or killing you OR sending you into traffic...again, either hurting you seriously or killing you and/or others

there's something to think about next time you're cruising along at highway speeds lol. and chances are good that you wont ever have a problem out of your tires, but you never know. i haven't had a flat on my vehicle in several years, but had a blowout on a trailer about a month ago. luckily it's a tandem axle trailer and didn't cause major damage. just shredded the tire beyond recognition

- have used original Armor All on my tires and interior forever, don't like wet looking tires, just like them to look black - don't get it on your steering wheel or shift knob!!!
