I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

tire cleaning?!

Post by .rob » March 27, 2007

what do those guys at the shows use to clean their tires? tire shine makes it shine TOO much. do they put tire shine and then wipe it off to get the useless shine off?

I spary it on before I wash the car and just hose the tires off, no soap on them. It comes out looking nice and black without all the glossy sloppy bling everywhere, no worries about it flinging all over your car either.

I use hot water and a stiff brissle brush. Tire shine sucks.

ive found that the armor all tire foam cleans the tires real nice and gives them a new look with out being shinny... then if you want them shinny spray the other tire shine crap on...
