Clean Dirty Tires and Make Them Look Black Again Without the Shine

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Brown and dingy tires and sometimes even blue from off roading in dirt and mud can be a real challenge to clean and short of using something like Armorall or other tire dressing, it can be even harder to make them look black again. In this video, I'll show you what I like to do and use on my Jeep tires to make them look their best and without leaving a greasy to the touch feel or shine. Be sure to stick around for the Ripley Clip at the end!

    Great video! For all those that have never used a wheel and tire cleaner, if you scrub the tire and the soap turns brown, you need to do the process over until the soap stays white. That will remove all the brownish tint from the tire. As for tire shine, if you don’t like a slimy dressing, use a water based product. I use Adam’s tire shine, it doesn’t sling everywhere and is a great black matte finish that is dry to the touch. I’m sure Chemical Guys has something similar!!

    We design the rubber compound for your tires to have an antioxidant package that gradually blooms to the surface and protects against UV. Which is why tires look a bit white and chalky. That’s the UV inhibitor doing its job. If you wash it off. Your rubber will age faster.

I bought a Rubicon sway bar, removed the non-working motor, and installed one of those hand turn unlock the sway bar units you showed on your channel at one point on my wife's Sport-S Gladiator. One of the best upgrades I did to that Jeep.

    At the Overland West Expo I asked the Nitto representative about tire shine products on their tires and will it impact the performance when rock crawling. The representative shared they do not use tire shine type products on their tires when rock crawling. Did not asked about what they did to their tires when displaying them at events as I was only interested in performance of the tire when rock crawling. Sounds like the product you shared is more a tire wash than a tire shine, which is perfect for me. Thanks for sharing.

    I use Tire Kicker from Chemical Guys to shine the tires after I use the tire cleaner, it’s water based so it doesn’t leave that sticky feeling but still has that UV protection. I also use it on my plastic trim pieces to help protect from fading too much. Plus the smell is incredible, not that that’s important but definitely a nice experience during the wash process. Hope this is helpful!

    tire shine removes all the uv protectant from the tire which will cause the rubber to be broken down and crack faster in the sun, so you want to leave a little haze on them, at least thats what ive been told and ive talked to quite a few tire reps, while working in the industry.

The one I'm considering also has XHD front and rear bumpers with tow shackles, a Rugged Ridge winch, XHD tire carrier, XHD snorkel, 19" LED ramp in the front and 48" on the roof. I will do a lot of onroad driving with it so I figured something like this would be a perfect medium.

It made a loud clunk, I came to a stop and started driving again. Went from 2 hi to 4 hi and 4 lo and all the back to 2 hi to see if the transfer case still engaged properly. Seems ok, but my question, do you think I damaged my transfer case or I'm ok... and I will never do a stupid thing like that again. Thanks in advance. Love your content.

    Being that you do a lot of pavement, I personally would recommend something like an all terrain as they will offer better fuel economy, be quieter and wear longer. I would recommend Ridge Grapplers but only if you can get it in a load range C. Depending on the size you're getting, they may only be available in D or E and that's a bit too firm for my taste.

    (automotive tech for 20 years. BMW master tech for 15.) Yikes counter balanced wheels 😬. That’s a huge no no in the automotive world. Whoever you had mount those tires don’t let them do it again. Especially considering these are a quality tire on a quality wheel and essentially a factory size. No excuse for that. If someone in my shop was discovered counter balancing tires they would be verbally reprimanded. And made to rebalance them properly for free.
