Nasty brown tires after rain

[njcarting1]

I am looking for some input on my tire dressing problem.After I dress and drive in the rain they end up brown after drying.

Is this a case of wrong product,application or just the way it is.

Are they Kumho tires ?

What type of dressing are you using? If it`s a silicone based dressing, it sucks the carbon black, and oils out of the tires resulting in cracking and brownish residue on the tire. Use water based dressings to prevent this. I`d get some Westley`s Bleche White to clean them or other good tire cleaner, leave it a few days without dressing it, then reclean, then dress them.

Goodyear`s,Michelin`s,Hercules, seems like they all got disease.

It`s the tired dressing you`re using.

Get something else.

I apply pb bnb with a paint brush

I had kumho Ecsta and they would brown over time no matter what,thats why I asked.
But it seem like it`s the dressing.

I hate to say this BUT THATS WHAT I AM USING AND THATS HOW I APPLY THE STUFF. It just started happening the first fue applications were great in the rain.Could it be I need to do an extra tire wash with apc and see what that does?? I use apc every time and the tires are clean before every dressing application.

I have no idea....

Oh yeah you can blame dboy on bimmerfest (hi dave) cuz thats who I learned it from.

Could it be too much mud from the maine rains ?

[njcarting1]

now I will just clean wait a wash or two and redress.I love the stuff just wanted to know if others had the problem.

Must be the dirty rain in Maine,NH,MA, who knows...


Thanks Guys,

I`m thinking that there is still APC left over if it`s not the rain. Try cleaning the tire with just BnB and a brush and then rinse it off....
