Mine gets dirty when I go off road but when its back I like to keep it tidy :)
I found the Autobarn tyre stuff, cant remember the name but its the oil based one.
Have had it on since the weekend, very nice :D

I have some Armour All tyre foam I was given. Simple spray on and walk away. Tyre were embarassingly shiny for about a month (water beading off) until I ventured onto some dirt again.

Oh dear so many comments come to mind about this thread,

I use a combination of mud, dust, grime and oversprayed black paint :oops: .... They still look like tyres

Bowdens Tyre Shine.

Great stuff. Used to use Meguairs Endurance Tyre Gel but have switched to Bowdens. Australian owned and made. Local company from here on the Sunshine Coast.

My two cents worth anyway.

Cheers

A little tip. Was given a few years ago from a bloke who has an 80 that looks like new was to use a bit of we'd/dry fine sand paper on the white tie lettering of the tyres. Makes the tyres look like new. I just do it when washing it

TIP: I use non caustic oven cleaner to clean the tyres before the shine. works great only $4 a tin compared to $14 for the auto care foam products. :D

My tyres go nude most of the time.

When they need to dress up I use the cheap tyre shine spray cans from the various outlets and this looks great for a few days.

I'll back the 'so easy' tyre care. I just use the small trigger bottle and works a treat. Makes the tyres look like new.
