    I hate shiny tires except on a show car actually at a show.
    I like my tires to look flat black or muddy.
    My Vette doesn't even have shiny tires, too cheesy.

    I use Chemical Guys Tire Kicker applied with a foam pad. They advertise the product as extra glossy but to me it doesn't seem shiny at all. Nothing like armor all. I use this on product on my M240, 67 Firebird, and Tacoma.

    What Mall to you go to? Lol

    I use a spray gel. Spray on, work it in with foam applicator, wipe off.

    I think it was Eagle One, but I’m sure they are mostly the same.

    I probably do this twice a year.

    I never saw the point of that stuff. They look great and shiny for maybe a day or two.

    I got White paint because it looks good muddy. Tires look good muddy as well.

    Ain’t no mall crawler.

    Mud. Just mud. All mud. That’s what’s on my tires. My shoes too. It’s all a mess.

    Adam's Rubber and Tire cleaner to prep and get any stuff off first. My current favorite tire dressing is Turtle Wax Graphene Tire shine. A cheap tire applicator available at a parts store or wally world would probably work just fine.
