I am just the opposite in tire appearance preference and much,much prefer the matte, natural look of tire as it came from the manufacturer`s factory as a new vehicle displayed on the showroom or when tires were newly installed as a replacement for worn tires. My reason is I HATE/DISLIKE/CANNOT STAND tire appearance that has equal or more shine than the paint, BUT that is my own personal preference. And cleaning a tire that has so much "lip gloss" on it can be a pain-in-the-royal-detailing-anal-opening before it looks naturally clean.
It is also one of those questions to ask vehicle owners when you detail their vehicle: What do you want your tires to look like; really shiny or matte natural? While I may not agree with their tire appearance preference, it IS giving the customer what they want. If they don`t know or ask why does it matter, then I give them my opinion and reason for my natural matte appearance and I have an "informed" vehicle owner.
Is this Hybrid Solutions Tire Cleaner available in gallon sizes??? I think I saw some re-sellers with what appears to be gallon jugs of this product in their "how-to" videos.
