Egg whites and vinegar.

WD 40
Make sure you spray it really thick. make sure to cover the rim with the WD40 really well so that when you are driving the WD40 can drip down over the tires. Spray in all inside the rim. Works wonders

Armorall - duh!

Shiny sidewalls looks unnatural...I usually use brake dust cleaner to get all the deep funk off, and then go over them with a protective coating that doesn’t shine...they are clean but don’t look wet.
I get the stuff (forgot what it is called) from a store on Veterans Blvd. past Williams by the airport. It is called Heiden Industries...The store carries all types of cleaners and chemicals for automated car washers and pro detail shops.

Take a lesser being, and use your boot to grind his face, head & hair against tire until you acquire desired results.

Chemical Guys products work well.

I was surprised when Al Knoch, who is widely considered one of the best interior refurbishers, told me at a trade show that is what he recommends on his completed work.

I use recycled Crisco. Bacon on the front and fish on the rear.

For those of you that use Armor All on your cars, try 303, you will never go back.

Are you using the 303 Aerospace Protectant on the tires? It is great stuff for a clean, non oily looking matte interior too.
You definitely want to use a water based product on your tires. Meguiars is an awesome brand, and you can find their products in gallon sizes at a good price.
Pro tip: Scrub the shite out of your tires before application of your dressing. A good tire cleaner or a good apc should do the trick. This will make your dressing last longer and look better.
Eta: you can get meguiars hyper dressing gallons for around $40 on amazon. Full strength will be shiny; 3:1 water to product will give it a less glossy look.
303 is like $48 per gallon. The shite is one of the go to products for just about any dressing on a car.

If you show your car, this is what judges look for. They do not want to see 'wet' looking tires or that look on any rubber/vinyl for that matter.

Black Magic.
It’s been the best for about 20 years now. No one beats it.

No, I just use 303 on areas that I used to use Armor All. I use Black Magic Pro Shine on rubber.
