How to keep tires from browning?

Hey guys, i do detail cars, and do an excellent job at it, but i`ve been NONSTOP with work and school that i haven`t had time to take care of my own car. Now my tires are a little bit brown

I tried hitting it with some bleach white and it wasn`t happening, any help here?!

I wash mine with Simple Green or Westley`s Bleach White (if OWL); follow with your favorite tire dressing.

I really like Meg`s HotShine Aerosol; or Meg`s Endurance Gel for the longest lasting dressings. The HotShine lasts nearly as long as the Endurance and is waaay easier to apply. They aren`t water based; so they last a long time compared to other market products.

After using Westley`s Bleach White my tires are so black they almost don`t need a dressing. Spray it on, wait a few minutes, scrub a little, rinse off. Works great.

Meguiar`s discontinued their Hot Shine tire gel (```````s), but damn, did that make for a shiny black tire. Lasted for weeks, too.

Not sure what they replaced it with (my bottle of Hot Shine will last me awhile).

Zymol protectant works beautifully and it leaves a nice black semi-gloss finish on the tire after it sets up. Doesn`t hold up well after driving in the rain, though.
