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!

LOL - thank you.
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!!

After years of various tire use, all 35” all on a ram 1500 of some year from 2014-2024 now on my new Rebel, the ridge grappler has been the best tire I’ve personally used for all around use. Great tire Nitto

I have to agree, it's one of my favorite tires.
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 watch your videos for the Jeep content, I stay till the end for the doggo content. I've gotten a lot out of your channel over the years. 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.

I use Adam's Wheel and Tire cleaner on my 21 Power Wagon. After they are clean I use Adam's Graphene Tire Dressing. It leaves a deep black finish.
Adam's Graphene Tire Dressing is the way to go.
Simple Green is another FABULOUS tire cleaner as well, I am super OCD about cleaning my cars.
I hate tire shine, will have to check out that product. Thanks! 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸

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.

Jet seal car wax by the chemical guys is the best wax I ever used. All I do is spay my tires off with water. Though.
I also use Chemical Guys waterless wash product when the Jeep isn’t all that dirty but needs a little attention. Always looks great!

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!
Great video , thanks

Glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding the brush, I got it a few years back at my local Autozone.
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.

Not trying to be a troll but as a former installer of tires and wheels, @2:05 you have wheel weights that are counter balancing each other! You should have them remove ALL wheel weights then balance them again! Love your videos and what you do for the #Jeep community!

With a lifted Jeep, I like to have the inside sidewall looking good as well. What is the best/easiest way to have that clean nice inner sidewall look? I like to, as the manufacturer says, "spray on the love and walk away". I'm sure you know who that manufacturer is. I've been spraying on the love and walking away for many years.
Great video. Can I do this with the tires in place on my vehicle as I don’t have the ability to pull the tires off?

Would a 2015-2017 Rubicon Unlimited 3.6 V6, with 2" lift and 35" tires, be sufficient to run with you guys? 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.

Another great video. I have an embarrassing question. I disengaged from 4 lo to 4 hi going about 8 mph, no need to say my gladiator didn't like. 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.

@@wayalife I was gonna say cause I had a 20 Gladiator and I bought a 2021 high altitude Gladiator and they had different TMS sensors. And a couple weeks ago. I ended up buying a 2020 Rubicon gladiator. It’s pretty sweet first Rubicon for me.
I've used Chemical Guys products often, and liked them, but switched over to Griot's Garage. In my testing, Griot's outperformed across the board.
My big issue with tire shine is that it stains the tires when they get dirty again. Does this issue have any sort of issue like that?

Well, ideally, you want to keep your tires clean and with something like this and that will help them from blooming or to the point where it becomes very difficult to get them looking black again.

(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.
