Default Best Products for Cleaning & Shining Tires

Getting some brand new BFG Mud Terrain KM2 35/12.50/18 on Saturday morning and was wondering what you guys think are the best products and procedures for getting a super clean and super shiny mud tire.

But mud tires shouldn't be shinny. They should be mud colored.

Just a bit of annoying if you live in a dusty area, dust sticks to it, but it does so the least of all the products I've used.

Bleech white is amazing for making tires clean and black, I hate shiny tires, throws the crap all over the paint.... All I do is spray on the b.w. wait a minute, give the tire a quick scrub and hose it off good, and yea white letters turn out nice and white too if you have them.... Cleans the rims good too

Well said....
I had a VW vr6 and it had 50 series tires(i think? Its been a while) I used eagle one tire shine once, I was driving it on a back road one time, like I normally did, a lil quick but not being stupid, and I swear I had a tire roll onto the sidewall a lil and it felt like I was sliding off the road, I instantly said no more tire shine, I figured it was what made me loose traction on the bend.... I was driving it like I always did on the bend, AGAIN NOT BEING STUPID but driving the car within its limits... There's a reason they say never use it on motorcycle tires!

Thanks for the info everybody. I'm putting the white letters on the inside to stay with the stealth look. I'm going to try both products this weekend. I guess I'll clean them with the bleach white and then see what happens when I put the tire wet on. I'll post some pics up of what they look like.

That's funny whoever said "Friends don't let friends run tires with the white letters out" ---- I've been contemplating whether or not to do it, then I called my buddy who knows everything there is to know about tires and trucks (at least he thinks he does ) and he told me to put the white letters on the inside. So, you're right! lol
