Thanks for all of your great videos Jon. Got to be one of the very best detailing channels, and personalities on KZread. Learnt a hell of a lot from here. Keep up the great work mate 🙂👍

Another awesome video thank you so much. I've been subscribed for a long time don't know how I missed this one till now. An added tip getting the whole tire without rolling the car - I do this with every wash. I roll up on a couple blocks of wood to raise the wheels off the ground. Being raised helps when power washing but mostly brushing and dressing the tires. I used a 2x4 lumber I had laying around. It was about an hour of work. Whole thing is probably under USD$15. Using a miter saw I cut the 2x4 into four 22.5" lengths at 45° angle. Then screwed a 2.75" block on the back as a stopper. The OCD part of me coated twice with Rust-Oleum outdoor enamel from Home Depot (one can was more than enough). This helps keep them from saturating with water. The blocks of wood got soggy after a wash. These are light, stack up small and do the trick. The cut dimensions are just the right size for the 18" wheels, I would go 24"+ for larger wheels. Not sure if these pic links will work but check it out. drive.google.com/file/d/1BoOLokbrG3F1nKCciSYsLE2xkmuvY93p/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1jsPUYYhwOKuzhygUNl-JQJQ08HRbkTBp/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1XiuRRYb-R8TW_giorpLQDzgbQOuv7oFu/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1RuKPQLLjey-jEus3NIJx9p6OK_dWBRDT/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1kJVBYfw0gX25rTg_Jv3ccfVddbo8afsH/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/116AQ2nNH0AwXhDguACEaldwLHRg5zrkW/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1KHHGXetZQsWWROKt7mHozIhG0p2x8BfH/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1HGTrdXY0DSpAO0NT-cjjufFKz-b68xwi/view?usp=sharing

its a good idea that is noel, so many times I dont bother moving the car and it looks rubbish when you miss a bit of the tyre

Instead of rolling the car forward to get to the rubber touching the floor, just use 4 small blocks of wood and drive the car on to them before you start cleaning. You can then clean and treat the tyres without having to move the car.

Or just invest in some Rimmats. They're not the cheapest option but they definitely look more professional

Your videos are great, nice to see so much passion for something so mundane to most people! great to watch and hear you go into so much detail and and care! more people need purpose like yourself ! Your not messing about with that tyre !

This video is just one of why I really love this channel. I use Chemical Guys Tire and Trim gel for a dressing. Lasts a long time and looks natural

My go to for maintenance wheel cleanings is Chemical Guys sticky citrus. It's made to be diluted 1:5 ratio, so the 16 oz bottle makes 96 oz. CG's Diablo is also a good one, same dilution. When my wheels are really bad I reach for the brand new Mequiars All Wheel Cleaner, this is a thicker, HD, color changing wheel cleaner. Leave it on for 5 minutes and get our tour favorite brushes and have at it! Leaving it on longer is ok but ofcoarse the wheel has to be cool. For tires the brand new 303 tire and rubber cleaner is outstanding! While I'm talking about 303 their new tire balm is my go to dressing. It acts like a coating, meaning in 10 mins its dry to the touch, you can add 2 more coats with 10 mins of drying time inbetween if you want a little more. Hope this helps out someone out there, love this channel, it's one of the best going😎

Thanks for the video, After using many of Tyre shines over the years, I have found that my favorite at the moment is the Auto Finesse Satin creme. It drys well, give a deep black satin finish and lasts very well as well as the bottle will last you a very long time. Applying it with their Hockey puk is a brilliant addition too.

I use those cheap sprays of tyre shine products, then work it into and around the tyre with an old boot brush l keep for that job. I leave it to dry a bit then buff it again with the same brush, this leaves a flat black, new tyre type finish. A week or two later, a quick buff up with the same brush restores that new tyre look without using more dressing , works well for me anyway. Thank you sir for another informative well presented video.

As an 80 year old rank amateur your instructional vids are 'top $' really great, never too old to learn - keep up the good stuff.

Hey Rea, awesome to have some more senior viewers welcome to the channel my friend.

if you're in the states, i highly recommend going to a dollar tree store, la's totally awesome (orange) is the coup de gras. it's one dollar. you've never seen a cleaner tire. your dressings will last forever. i recommend meguiars ultimate protectant. my tires just suck it up after the above mentioned does it thing. no sling. just pure black and sleek as all get out. good video. love what ya do.

Jon, v.addictive videos, you were ok even at the start lol !!!!! Looks like YT is hard work to get started with, thanks all the videos, getting me going with detailing helping loads, bought Ava machine and SGS35 ( happy finally right amount power wash with )

I got my Tuffshine a few months back and find it superb with Grimeout. Dressing wise, I used the Zaino stuff for years but use Perl these days. Both give a satin finish which I prefer. I use a little washing up sponge to apply (not the green scrubbing side!) I get the hand me downs from the Mrs when she’s done with them.

My New go to is soft 99 tyre wax. Lovely finish and longevity is awesome! Highly recommended

Great video thank you just what i was looking for the other day :) and have to admit i was surprised how much dirt came out of the tyres when they looked reasonably clean, i'm not a pro valetor i only watch your videos to learn for my own personal car nothing fancy or sporty just a mk2 facelift focus always wanted one since they first came out and its my baby i drive my girlfriend barmy the way i clean it and look after it hahaha i believe a car is an extension of a person and to look after it how you would look after yourself (my personal opinion) but anyways thank you for taking the time to do this nice in depth video helped me out alot and showed me where i was going wrong with dressing my tyres and why it only lasted a few days :)

Great vlog again Jon, I don't tend to use a specific tyre cleaner / dressing. I use a dedicated auto finesse wheel shampoo (Revolution) when cleaning alloys and tyres.

About a year ago I was using Eagle one AtoZ wheel and tire cleaner in the orange bottle. It wasnt much of a wheel cleaner but let me tell you for tires, as soon as it hit the rubber the suds would turn copper brown and all's you needed to do was rinse them off before they dried back into the side wall. Unfortunately I believe eagle one changed their formula cause it's not as potent but it still does an amazing job decreasing tires and even but it was 3 dollars for 23floz. Now's its 5.50 for the same bottle.

Another great video and for me I use Gyeon Q2 tyre. Apply with a spunge and wear gloves as well but I do like the results that I get👍

Gyeon Tire is my new favorite after years of using the Meguiairs gel.

Another really interesting video. I would add that if you have the option to lift the tyre off of the ground and release the handbrake / put the car into neutral so the wheel spins, it allows all the tyre to be reached and the wheel to be rotated for more comfortable working. Also, I think there are 2 real types of tyre wall. The first is ones that have already been cleaned and not over dressed that just require a light going over with a brush. The second type are a real pain to clean... ones that have had oil based tyre dressing applied over and over to leave a greasy film. I find an additional step is necessary. That is to use a tar and glue remover on a microfibre cloth to wipe and scrub. Then repeat the degreasing process. My only other little tip is not to forget the little lip that runs around the tyre wall both with cleaning and dressing. I have tested a number of dressings and the one I use is Swissvax Pneu. This is because it is absorbed by the tyre wall, doesn't sling, doesn't leave any residue and produces a subtle satin finish so no one looks at the car and thinks those tyres have been dressed. They just look a beautiful satin black to offset the commonly silver alloy. It is pricey to say the least, but a little goes a long way. In terms of applicators, I like the Flexipads Split Foam Applicator Pad. It is easy to manipulate around the tyre wall, lasts a long time and is only £2.

I really like TUF shine! Great for wheel cleaning.

Hi John, I use Adams VRT and PERL so it was bizarre to see you using the same combination. I hadn't used the microfiber post scrubbing of the tyre so will give that a go and I'll purchase the Tuff Shine brush, I'd seen Matt speaking highly of it and since you're a big fan too I'll track one down. As an aside with the PERL I screwed on top an old Adams shampoo dispenser lid, much easier to control than the spray or pour method. Keep going with this style of vlog where you focus on a specific area, its the primary reason I watch both Matt and you (well Matt also has the GT3 RS but then again I drive a little M135i so we have a common connection). All the best Kevin.

Stoner more shine is the best (spray bottle) they also make brilliant glass cleaner. Great video as usual.

Ty vm.. Nice video i recommend CRC tyre shine. Its foam spay and i think it cleans very good too. Good also fast engine bay cleaner. Doesent wet every thing.

I've been using Optimum Power Clean for the rubber, Masterson's Wheel and Rim cleaner, and Adam's Tire Shine for the dressing.

Best tire cleaner I've used is Eagle 1 A to Z tire/wheel cleaner. I love that stuff. Far outperforms my Meguiar's APC and Super Degreaser.

Excellent video as always

great video mate, tuff tyre shine is a little beast! ive recently bought gyeon q2 tyre, tyre dressing, and im really impressed, its sio2 based. you should get some and do a review i think you will like it too.

I use Ammo mud tire gel. Works great and leaves a nice matte finish. Also lasts as well. Solid product. Great video!

I’m using gtechniq G5 APC 50/50 currently with a OXO tyre brush with Mothers tyre shine. I spray the tyre dressing on a 40mm sash brush then apply to the tyre. Haven’t been doing the micro fibre step, will be trying next time I clean the tyres.

Gyeon Tyre and Perl for dressing. Little tip... I go and buy cheap car washing sponges and then cut them up into smaller blocks and use them over time for dressing the tyres. I find it works perfectly and it keeps the product in the sponge. 👍🏼👌🏼

I just used the McKee's 37 system, but their tire cleaner wasn't aggressive enough. So I stepped up to super clean which worked really well then I chased that with the McKee's cleaner . Then their resin based tire dressing was applied and the tires look great !

Great video as always. How i do my tyres at the moment. Bilt hamber surfex hd Tuff shine brush Wash off Go over with a klin korea green monster, no need for multiple cheap microfibre, when one of these will do all the tyres and will last alot longer, great tough cloth, check it out. Currently using gyeon q2 tire, great all round, dressing, no sling, nice finish, and protects to an extent aswell and lasts well. Applied with a klin korea tyre dressing applicator again great quality sponge. Also like carpro pearl Angelwax elixir Valetpro black to the future Autofinesse satin All good dressings, but gyeon king for me at the moment.

Meguiars Endurance is my tyre gel of choice....last a long time too. I apply with a foam tyre profile sponge 👌🏼

Great video thank you for creating it!

I use Angelwax Elixir after I saw your review of it. I like it because of the New Clean Tire look as opposed to the greasy tire look. Also its really cheap and you use so little it. Also lasts for a long time I've noticed. At least on my old tires. Haven't had as much luck on my new ones. But I haven't done a deep cleaning of them yet so It's probably a dirty tire issue. Interested in the Adams TIre shine though and will try to find a sample.

For the cleaning I like to use spray nine and usually do it twice until the product is just soapy white and no more brown in the run off. For the tire dressing I will use 303 aerospace protectant and for a longer more durable one I like Ultima tire and trim guard

I recognise the intro music from epidemic sound, Great choice mate, we use their library too where I work. 👍

Couldn’t agree more about the tire brush , i happen to have the same one and love it . On a side note also use Adams tire and rubber cleaner , i dilute it 50/50 with water and didn’t notice a difference in performance . Adams wheel clean is a disappointment. I’ve had excellent results with meguiers wheel brightner

Great vid :) I use Surfex HD and Dodo Juice Tyromania. It gives a very matte/fresh rubber look. I really don’t like the smell of it though,lol.

Jon as per usual a very good video. I love your style, no preaching just leaving it to the viewer to decide how much or how little to follow. I also love the high quality which makes viewing very easy. I am not a member of the thought police but may I politely suggest you use gloves when using the products. Many moons ago I used to come into frequent contact with a product which no one gave any thought too. Guess what, about 15 years later it was discovered it was carcinogenic which wasn't known previously. Roll on more moons and I got a pressie of cancer, absolutely no idea if the two were linked so what may seem safe today may not be tomorrow.

I use autosmart g101 as my degreaser...works very well..is that ok to use? I love using megs endurance to dress my tyres but i think it perishes tyres over time..i tend to wash the car twice a week so dress the tyres twice a week.have you found that pal?

Hi,i when I clean my tyres I use megs spray wheel and tyre cleaner to clean or use apc spray stuff,i don't use a tyre brush, a dishwashing brush I own its very soft when warm.when shining the tyres I have a sponge applicator polish pad either megs endurance gel or maybe smart dressing.i haven't used this for some time.

10:52 LOL...”blast over the face with this”, made my day

I have a karcher commercial hot/cold pressure washer so that cleans the tyres on my car without any scrubbing. As far as tyre dressings go I found Meguairs Endurance to viscous, so to make it ‘thinner’ and easier to apply I mixed in some Meguairs ‘hot wheels’ it which makes it easier to apply and still retains its longevity which Endurance’ is renown for!

I use Autoglym rubber care, that I prefer over Meguiars purple one. Less sticky and matte dry finish. Very niceon both old and new tires. Cheers.

I have had a good experience with applying a generous amount of tire dressing with a small soft brush and then wipe the excess with the foam applicator.

John a bit off topic but I have the same karcher k4 ecologic. The Lance hose pipe and the electrical lead are a nightmare during use and storage. How are you storing these both on the machine? Mine is forever tangled

Personally I use an APC/ washing up liquid for cleaning the tyres agitated with a brush rinse it rub it dry then spray some hard surface polish eg pledge on the tyre. For a deep matt look wipe it afterwards or if you prefer a more shiny look just leave the tyre after spraying the polish.

Hi Jon great vid, a bit out of puff eh....

What worries me about dedicated tyre cleaners is the effects on the sealants on my alloys. I assume rubber cleaners to be quite aggressive and don’t fancy having to re-seal the alloys after every tyre clean. Any thoughts on this?

33:30 Look up "Car Professional Tyre Tire Dressing Applicator Curved Foam Sponge Pad" on AliExpress or on eBay! Good quality curved applicators that follow the shape of the tire. They're $2.5-3 for 10 pieces, so like $0.25-0.3 a piece. And they last a lot longer than regular foam pad applicators (partly because you have to rub them less against the tire, as they follow the latter's curvature). They are also perfect for getting into that crevice between the tire rim and the tire rubber.

chempro APC, with an brush in the battery drill, but not been happy with car pro pearl would like it to be dripping gloss

We bought an ex hire Golf. 11 months old. At first MOT, there's an advisory on the tyres perishing, and sure enough, they are. So, there you go, seems very likely that high concentration caustic cleaners of the sort hire places use do cause problems with the tyre perishing. Wheels are fine, though they were probably refinished before sale (from VW dealer).

I've never tried the microfiber part of your cleaning process, i usually let the tire dry and comeback later to dress the tire and do interior stuff. If you use a pressure washer, does it change anything? And is the black coming off really dirt? Or just the rubber degrading normally? Because it seems you could scrub the tire all day long it will still have black stain coming off of it. And finaly, i've been using Carpro Perl for a year+, at 1:1 dilution, and i must say it does not perform as well as i thought it would. It just leaves a greasy film on the tire, even after days. It looks nice, dark and non shiny, but stay greasy to the touch. I've heard it doesn't perform the same on every tyre, some absorb it well, other don't. In my case, the two car i clean have sporty tyre, and both don't absorb Perl that well, and are left with a greasy film. I do come back 30min after application with a microfiber to remove the excess, but it's a pain in the ass and add time to do the all car.

Maybe the cleaning part is quicker, but still have to set everything up: pressure washer, bucket with water, every product to use, wash mitt and microfiber clean 100% ... It also appears to me that the older i get, the less time i want to spend on cleaning the car. I want it to be done right, but as efficient as it can be.

I tend to find though a second going over is normally needed on dirty tyres at least if you going the extra mile and then dressing them..

I also like to put the Dressing on and blow it with a leaf blower.
