Tires always look somewhat dirty, even after a wash...

So I take great care of my car, wash it almost every week. But after my tires dry every time they go back to looking a bit faded and dusty looking/dirty. Anybody know how I can sort of revitalize their look? They are new tires probably only 2500 miles on them, but they never look washed after I wash them. Thanks

Get a stiffer nylon brush to clean them and let the soap sit on there a bit longer to help get them as clean as possible. Apart from that tire dressing is about the only way to keep them shiny. Rubber fades pretty quick in the sun.

Try Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel. Lasts the longest of any product I've ever tried.

^^This.
Always do your tires last and never mix that with the water that you are washing with your truck. Always use a tire shine or gel to protect tires from the sun/dry rot.
Good luck!

I use simple green and a brush to scrub them. I usually don’t put any kind of tire shine stuff on them but when i do I like the spray can foam stuff.

I use Super Clean (can be purchased at Wally World) diluted either 4:1 or 3:1 with a Tuf Shine tire brush.
