'So Easy', buy it in the 4ltr drum and water it down by mixing it in a garden sprayer.

Red dust is what I use on my tyres.

Super cheap tyre shine works OK on making most dull black plastic/rubber things look smick

"I don't need no stinking tyre shine"
But seriously the old girl has to go to town some time.
Check with your tyre place as they have some good stuff.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

I find driving through sand cleans them up nicely and removes the mud stains.

Shiny tyres on a 4by just look wrong :?
I'm not so good with the advice :oops: ... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment??? :twisted:

Can't remember the name as its lasts a few years to get through but am sure that autobarn would still have it just look to make sure it is not the water based stuff, supercrap did not carry it. you buy it in a 5ltr can then pour it into a spray bottle to apply. I like the look of shiny tyres & clean cars even 4x4's :) So take that all of you dirty tyre drivers :lol:
