You spent hours cleaning and detailing your car only to discover that the tire shine you put on disappeared by the time you got to the showfield–or worse, attracted even more dirt and grime.

Before you go about slathering on more tire shine, Tim McNair of Grand Prix Concours has a simple solution: Wash your tires properly before dressing them.

Here’s how to make sure you do that the right way.

I have always used  lacquer thinner on a rag to clean browned, stained tires.  It takes them back to flat black with a uniform flat surface.  The you can apply whatever coating you desire, if desired.
