Do all tire shine products stain concrete?

**Old Man** · 05-18-2006, 07:53 PM

After reading all the great ideas about using tire shine in wheelwells,I`ve decided to give it a try. However,I`m concerned about staining my driveway. My NEW driveway. Thanks for any input.

I`ve only had problems with E1 a2z staining driveways.

Pull the car into the street.

Spray it onto a tire swipe and apply with the swipe.

I think water-based tire dressings don`t stain.

Every single stinking one has stained the drive way. You should see the front of my house, it pisses the neighbors off something fierce but its not illegal!

yup I got the wheel wash from TOL. It does a wonderfull job cleaning the wheels, but I was pissed because it did staing my cement driveway. I am thinking should I have rinse the cement as I was washing wheel it may have been better.

The interesting thing is that I used Meg`s Wheel Brightener and it did not stain. Maybe it is the way I did it.

Cheers

I keep the driveway wet (rinse before washing) and the helps to some degree....but brake dust just detroyed my front driveway....I am thinking I need to get a pressure washing and a scrub broom to clean it up

I made something similar to that driveway mat out of corrugated cardboard. When it starts looking REALLY gross, I just throw it away and make another one. I`d prefer that over buying that plastic driveway mat and having it clean it up every now and then.

Also be careful if you go to home depot and get their Zep drive way cleaner. It is the toughest stuff I have used, not only did it clean the drive way it burnt my leg.

I sealed the detailing area of my driveway with UGL clear concrete sealer. [Home Depot] It does a very good job of keeping stains from soaking in. Lasts for years.

I`ve used purple power degreaser or Gunk foaming engine cleaner to remove the stains

All tire dressings stain, including water-based ones. And all of them wash away eventually, too. Try applying them on wet pavement/ concrete and they won`t show so much.
