Tire and Wheel cleaner

[Minnesota4Runner]

Looking for recommendations. Something that leaves a nice finish on the tires without using a separate product. I have always used Armourall but it's too shiny and cannot be applied to the wheel.

I recommend this guy. He seems to give thorough and unbiased results.

This has a nice semi-matte finish that seems to last... forever.

My wife's CRV gets washed in an auto washer every 1-2wks and the tire shine is still there since I put it on in December.

Are you looking for tire/wheel cleaner recommendations, or tire dressing recommendations? As a semiprofessional detailer, your question is confusing.

You're not going to find one product that is good for both. Do you know what tire bloom is? You likely want a tire cleaner that is going to remove that browning from your tires. Wheel cleaner is not going to do it.

There are tons of good wheel cleaners out there. And they will also get your tires clean. But they won't remove browning. I use a dedicated tire cleaner about once a quarter to get the bloom (aka browning) off my tires.

I hate the look of shiny tires. I do like a product to keep them looking good. I prefer Tuf Shine for both my tire cleaner and for my tire coating.

After trying about 1/2 dozen cleaners and maybe 10 tire coatings/dressings. Tuf Shine is the best tire cleaner by far in my experience. Tuf Shine coating is excellent and the best of the ones I tried. CarPro Darkside is also excellent.

Of the products I tried Tuf Shine coating seemed to last the longest on tires. If I recall it was 3-4 months.

Tuf Shine cleaner is good stuff; I used it for years. I've recently switched to Armour Detail Supply Tire Cleaner, and it's the best I've ever used. I'm not a fan of tire dressings, I like my tires natural black, and this stuff is amazing! Buy the gallon concentrate, use full strength for the initial cleaning, then cut 1:1 or 2:1 with water for maintenance cleaning of the tires. Try it sometime! No affiliation, FYI, just a recommendation of a quality product.
