  • Tire Dressing with white letter tires

    What tire dressing and how do you apply it to white letter tires? I have been using Endurance High Gloss with a foam applicator. The problem is that the letters always end up with black on them from the application process.

    I have never been a fan of dressing tires with raised white letters.

      I would suggest scrubbing the sidewalls really good with either APC+ or Super degreaser at 4:1. This would wash away the "black" stuff
      Then blow dry the tire with a leaf blower.
      I would then use a foam paintbrush to apply some tire gel, then wipe off any excess tire gel with an old terry cloth or MF towel
      This process works great, though I do not have white lettering on my tires

        Maybe try the tire dressings that spray on as a foam. White letter tires look great when dressed up!!*

            /\this. One of those parabolic plastic bristle tire brushes will help a lot too.
            I had problems with my whitewalls but a tire brush and bleche wite helps a lot.

              I just detailed my brother truck on Sunday..he still had his winter rims on which are white lettered.

              I first sprayed them with spraynine (it's a all purpose cleaner) and scrubed them with a brush and then applied megauirs all season tire dressing with a foam applicator
