I think using Eagle One A to Z turned my tires a hint of brown, but I'm not sure. A2Z is supposed to be "gentle" but then again I almost can't help but get it all over the tires. Do you think it is the culprit?



So now that I have brown tires, what do you suggest as a remedy? A friend said Whitley's Bleche White and a good scrubbing. I'm not sold on the idea at all. Any ideas?
 
Whitleys should do the trick. It doesn't have any petroleum distallates like the Eagle one has. It won't give you a shine, but they will be black.
 
I used Einmann Fabrik Hi-Intensity on some really browned Bridgestone Eagers. Did a fantastic job and they looked great even before the Black Opal was applied.
 
I use Vinylex whenever I shine the tires and interior. Haven't bought 303 yet, but something tells me that the tires will become brown again no matter whether it is 303 or Vinylex...and I think that sucks. Will the Whitley's remove the brown for good?
 
On a former car, my tire turned brown, I tried

car wash

then Whitleys,

then Comet,

then bleach,



They were less brown, but still brown. I think that when they become brown, that there has been a chemical reaction. I am not sure if you can get them back to black.



Hope you find a solution.
 
I think the brown is from the tire itself. It is the "blooming" of the tire when exposed to ozone (as RH's posted link to Larry's article). Its an anti-ageing (sp) for tires. Ef-Hi-intesnity will clean it off, and a quality dressing like Vinylex, 303, Zaino, Eagle one, etc. etc. will protect it to an extent.



I would not use Westley's bleache (sp?) white because it can stain alloys and driveways. It may be a inexpensive and effective product, but the cars I take care of will never see a spray of white. I may pay a little more EF Hi-Intensity but not staining alloy wheels is a big concern for me.



Just my 2 cents...
 
That Westley's Bleache White is some nasty s**t. They make Black Magic, too; but we could imagine that.
 
Henry,

It might have to do with the manufacturer & line of tires, amount driven (blooming), sun exposure, age, etc. Just some more guesses.

The Hi-Intensity will help you get rid of the brown color on tires. It's an excellent product, much better than Wesley's(sp?).
 
I remember reading somewhere that the browning comes (as Henryk mentioned) from repeated applications of dressing without cleaning first
 
tire dressing is sotra like being addicted to chapstick: you use it and it looks great but when its over all you need is more otherwise it'll look worse



I used maguires religiously for a long time and when I stopped it was brown city (cleaning between applications). I ended up not using anything for a long time and the brown dissipated. I'm not sure what to do now. I guess I could check if my favorite stuff browns.
 
I think that is too glossy for my tastes. Thanks for the post of the pic. Alot like Black Opal, no?



BTW, is this just after one application of Z16?



PassatPunk.
 
Passatpunk, I have to admit that the pic of the Zaino tire polish looks a bit too shiny as well. I'm sure he used multiple coats. I've been using the Z16 as well as the 303 on tires. Trust me, one coat of the Zaino Tire polish will give you a very light black finish to the tires. Looks very matte. Laters.
 
I like Black Opal because you can either get a high or low gloss. Spray directly on for hi-gloss; apply with sponge for lower gloss.



The length of which a tire dressing lasts is a moot point for me; I wash my car and scrub my tires weekly, so any tire dressing that lasts longer than a week is not necessary.
 
The brown is bloom from the tire. It has nothing to do with the products you are using on the tire. Some brands bloom more than others. Just depends on the compound.
 
I would scrub the tires with EF High Intensity. It works for wheels and tires. Eagle A2Z is acid based and not a product to be used weekly. I use Black Opal or Vinylex on the tires but I apply both with a Eagle One Tire Swipe to reduce the shine.

I tried dressing just one tire. After it wore off it browned more than the others. I would then say the the dressing may affect a tires blooming.
