Tire Dressing - Wheel Cleaner taking it off ?

[jsoto]

When I apply tire dressing to my tires ( in my case Z16 ) is the product absorbed into the tire or is it just a coating that is ontop of the tire.



I finally got my tires the way I wanted it. I got the tires real clean with EFHI and 2 coats of Z16. The 2nd coat was a bit too glossy but it went away after a days worth of driving.





Anyhow, the brakes on my X5 are notorious for the brake dust. Once the pads wear down, I`ll replace them with ones that produce less dust. Along with my usual weekly car wash, I always wash the wheels with EFHI diluted.



Will the EFHI strip the tire dressing off the tire too or is the *product* absorbed into the tire ?

I would assume any cleaner will at least fade if not remove tire dressings when used to clean the wheels. Best bet is to always reapply the dressing after a thorough wheel cleaning. That works for me.



To cut down on constantly washing the wheels I use either an old Kozak cloth or a few wet terry cloths. This extends the time period between when the wheels need a full blown cleaning again.
