Adam’s is a great. Koch Chemie AWH is the best on the market in my opinion. Immediate browning and just eats the dirt and saves a ton of time. Nice video.
You can use Adam’s Graphene VRT to the same dilution ratios as Perl. The Graphene does repel water. I also have nobby AT tires so it also makes application easier.
I love the costco towels as well. Agree they are cheap, but not free---- I wash them separately, they clean up well and then ONLY use them for tires/wheels. And then discard after several washes. I find they are super tough and last for a while. Just my thoughts. Love your channel and all the instruction. Re tire shine, I love PERL , but have come to also love DARKSIDE-CarPro
Great video and advice thank you, I found the video especially informative having seen this exact same problem occur a couple of years ago after purchasing a new Lexus NX. The very first trip of 1000kms on a very hot Australian summer day turned the tires the exact same brown colour as your Kia. Being run flat Dunlops and believing that the tires were defective called the dealership. The service manager explained brown tire blooming is very common on new tires fitted to many modern vehicles. Being more pronounced due to higher levels of lubricant chemicals used to help sidewall deterioration in the event of a puncture. The brown residue was an organic compound or “antiozonant”, anti cracking agent which leaves a sticky brown residue on the surface. Being organic it oxidised left residue on the side walls as it came into contact with the outside air. They offered free cleaning of the tires and rest of the car for the first few months and assured me it would settle down. After a few thousand kms had passed they were 100% right, no more blooming. Lexus service deserves a heads up for not only looking after but explaining why in detail reassuring a customer with little car knowledge of tire technology.
Very insightful video. I like to DIY clean my own car on the weekends, and I used the wet method as you described. I thought that was the only way to do it but sometimes I would literally devote an entire afternoon to the wheel/tires due to how long it took to get all 4 tires clean. Will definitely try the dry method next time
Clean the tire until there is no more residue. This is like priming before painting. You now have a surface that will not repel what you apply to it. All I use is the cheapest hair spray you can buy $3 a can at the dollar store. Apply in a garage or windless day. Cover the rim or try not to get any on it or your paint while spraying. Let it dry well and you’ll have a waterproof coating that lasts weeks. Does not fling onto the paint from the tire and you can overcoat it with traditional tire shine if you like. My go to tire spray is CHEMICAL GUYS TIRE KICKER EXTRA SHINE…..this and the hair spray work great together. If you get a smudge just go over it with the tire shine like you are polishing it. Takes no time.
Agree with Williambell----- Shine Supply Wise Guys is the absolute Best Tire cleaner for caked on grime and gooped on tire shine. But careful on ceramic coated wheels. Can also use - Cool Guys from Shine Supply which is not quite as potent, but safe for coated wheels and also super effective. Lastly, a plug for BILT HAMBER Auto-Wheel. Harder to get (Carzilla in Canada). The BEST Wheel Cleaner I've ever used---- only need it a few times a year in between regular maintenance. ---- Owen (DIYer, but doc by day and car enthusiast)
Thanks for the info on cleaning. I was wondering for the dressing currently using Car guys and another UA-camr project farm. Just did a test of tire shines with car guys being the value winner.
My favorite tire protection is Jescar tire and trim protection. Makes the tire look exactly like a brand new tire without shine and beads water nicely and lasts over a month.
Yes my tyres on my new ex dem Mazda2 hybrid were brown. So I took the soft99 wheel care kit that was on offer. It worked great and 2-3 month later they're still not brown.
Used to use Adam's VRT, had brown tires all the time. Nowadays I use Hybrid Solutions Hybrid Acrylic and my tires stay black. I clean them with Dawn, works great. If I need more, Super Clean is a bit stronger. Have yet to be convinced to spend on specialized tire cleaners. Great tip on the towel though. I've never done that before, but maybe I could sacrifice some of my Walmart 75-roll microfibers for the final wipe.
I run Kumho AT tires. In my experience Kumho tires seem to have a lot of mold inhibitors and not as much black pigment to help reduce the browning. On average I wash my truck weekly or sometimes twice a week and most of the time it’s cleaning the tires. To keep from stripping rue color I have to use more physical cleaning versus chemical. For the Kumho Road Vebtuee AT 52s I’m still trying to find the best tire dressing. Currently slightly watered down Graphene VRT (easier application) seems to be working best to keep browning down
It would be interesting to see your take on Meguiar's D 14301 Non-acid Wheel and Tire Cleaner. I just used it, with your towel method, and the tires came out great. $24.19 a gallon on Amazon. It also makes you cough...so it could have the same active ingredients as the one you used. I've got lots of great tips and techniques from your channel. Alwasy spot on. Thanks!!
Shine Supply Wise Guy is the strongest tire cleaner i have seen. Its also very economical when purchasing by the gallon. Highly concentrated. For a "dry" method, Shaeffers 666 or Stoners Xenit make quick work on the worst of tires. Both are strong citrus degreasers.
As a professional detailer myself, I'll say that I run into this a LOT on cars when my customers use Armor All or Black Magic tire shine at home. I prefer a water based tire shine, you don't get the browning problem if the tire is cleaned and preped properly and a water based shine is used.
I use meguiars silicone based shine. But I use very little and spread it evenly instead of caking it on. I also tend to properly clean the rubber using, again, meguiars all wheel cleaner and a brush. The brown I get is from blooming.
I go past my local Mini Car dealership on my way to work and there is always someone putting oil-based dressing onto the tyres of the used cars on their forecourt. They must go through tons of the stuff. Repeated usage has caused the tyres on some of their unmoved used cars to turn a funny yellowy-orange colour.
Carpro Retyre will remove that brown with one application. And although not listed on instructions, I’ve tried it diluted 1:1 with same results as undiluted.
If you watch the video, one pass with Gyeon Tire cleaner removed all the brown using my “dry” method. Yet it still was pulling stuff off the surface off the tire wipe after wipe. That was the whole intention of this video, just because it looks clean, doesn’t mean it’s perfectly clean.
@@OutofSpecDetailing ah. Thanks for that explanation. Like you said you are very particular with your detailing like me! Keep up the good work. I subscribed!
Mate a pretty good job on those tires 🛞….. I definitely learnt something today, you explained the aspects of the reason why tires aren’t cleaned properly. Good job 👍
I like clean and shiny tires myself but have really not run into the browning here in the midwest, luckily. And among my vehicles I have some very old and also very new tires. I gotta say if you went around the car and sprayed each tire THAT many times with the tire cleaner, you'd go through a massive amount! Spray, spray, spray...........spray again. How much does a bottle cost?
10% SuperClean solution with a dash of Dawn and a brush attachment on a cordless drill. All brown goongone in two minutes per tire. Dress with AeroCosmetics Tire & Rubber Care. Fast, cheap, & most effective.
I’m going to try the Pearl, I was using the chemical guys VRP straight for the past year and it was fine but I want to try your advice as I haven’t tried everything. Did you ever use VRP for interior?? Thanks from a newbie
The problem is the tire cleaner. Aggressive tire cleaners like the one you’re using are made with cheap ingredients that are too aggressive which in turn lead to your tires turning brown. Use a quality tire cleaner like Mckee’s Tire Rejuvenator and you’ll truly see a night & day difference. Mothers Tire Renew is another quality tire cleaner. “Dedicated tire cleaner” means squat. 90% of them are made with the cheapest ingredients.
@@OutofSpecDetailing Quality ingredients in their tire cleaner. It’s not always safe to assume that just because Gyeon is supposedly a quality brand that all of their products are going to be the highest quality. Every brand has their hit & misses. I’m not a big fan of Mothers, but they make a damn good tire cleaner. So good that they recommend it can even be used waterless. How many tire cleaners have you seen that say you can use it waterless on the label?
@@Samuelfish2kwhat ingredients are they using that makes them quality compared to these other tire cleaners. We need more information if you are going to make this claim.
@@yanniobkirk5744 Go watch Mckee’s video on the product, they explain it. I don’t claim to be a genius, but I have used the products and can confirm that what they say is true. As far as the Mothers, it performs nearly identical as the Mckee’s which is why it deserves mention.
@@yanniobkirk5744 This is copy/pasted straight from mckees product description: “STOP CLEANING YOUR TIRES WITH CAUSTIC ALL PURPOSE CLEANERS! These high-octane, inexpensive cleaners actually do more harm than good. The issue with most all purpose cleaners is that they're formulated to meet a certain price point, and in order to achieve that inexpensive price point, caustic ingredients are often found in these products. These caustic detergents are harmful to you AND your tires! You see, tires contain antiozonants, rubber conditioners, and UV absorbers that help keep the tire flexible. The wrong cleaner will actually cause the antiozonants, rubber conditioners, and UV absorbers to leach out of the tire, resulting in browning, discoloration and cracking of the tire. McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator is non-caustic, non-acidic, and it will not harm your tires! It's common knowledge among professional detailers and car care enthusiasts that a tire gel or tire shine spray will last considerably longer if the tire is properly cleaned first. By completely removing previously applied dressings and protectants, you have a clean base for the new tire shine to adhere to. This greatly extends the durability and increases the look of your tire shine of choice. McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator is safe for use on all tires. We recommend spraying the wheel with water first, just to ensure any unwanted overspray is easy to remove. McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator is the first step in prepping your tires for application of McKee's 37 Ceramic Tire Coating, an acrylic-based resin that forms a flexible, chemical-resistant coating on your tires. If you plan on coating your tires with McKee's 37 Ceramic Tire Coating, you MUST use McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator first, or else the coating will not properly adhere”.
I just spent the last 8 hours cleaning and i am going to tell you this is not worth it now i have only one tire clean and three to go, not doing it nope.
What does that mean? We have an e-tron and dang if it's not the sweetest thing we own out of 10 vehicles. By far sweeter to drive than my ZO6, of course in a very different way.
I agree…. Great work, but life is too short. Keep em clean with simple green from the get go, and use aerospace 303. Light shine, doesn’t gunk. Live life.
I personally think this is one of the best detailing channels
