wheel blackening/slick look..........

[muleskinner]

Has anyone got any inside tips for blackening ( bad english...sorry ) the tyre wall.

I refuse point blank to use tyre paint ( tyre paint , its as bad as garlic bread ).

I spoke to a guy at a garage and he refused to tell me his secret of what he uses.

cheers

boot polish

Turtle Wax Wet 'n' Black - Bloody good stuff actually.

[dobbie82]

boot polish

Yeah thats what i used to use when i had a car worth looking after keeps them black without making them too shiny

silicone spray would do a good job but be careful not to get it on the tread as it wont wash off in a hurry! (few quid in halfrauds, its for maintaining window seals, boot seals etc, meant to stop rubber perishing anyway)

Autoglym Tyre Dressing. Have used it for a number of years now. If correctly applied will give superb results. Spray on, leave 3-5 mins and wipe over using a cloth. Be careful though as residue can run down and stain the drive way.

I use some tyre foam, works wonders!
looks like u have whitewalls but does work wonders!

cant remember who its made by though!

Autoglym for me, spot on stuff lasts weeks.

Zaino is awesome, lasts really well and gives a nice shine without leaving a sticky surface.

[e36boy]
