Brown Tires

[2022 Ruth]

Not sure if this is anything but since I stopped using any kind of tire shine decades ago my tires always stay black. Not shiny though

I forget what the product is called but I saw on horsepower TV a while back a product that you use like once a year that is a tire shine with black in it that seems to “soak” into the tire and almost dye it. Cant remember the name. Looked like it worked.

So anyone got anything better to add to this? I've now learned the technical term as "tire bloom" and the chemical is called antiozonant long story short the tires I bought have the bloom on them and its being a royal pain in the ass to get it off. Tried the black magic tire cleaner I have and it just laughed at me. Any tips before I make a claim on these tires

I have an update on the tires and everything is good. So what I thought was tire bloom was actually the release agent on the tires. I ended up using a heat gun to get what appears to be a wax that needs a fair bit of heat for it to start to liquify. I bought various chemicals and it did absolutely nothing. Figured I'd share for anyone that comes across a similar scenario.

That turned out really well.

@CoronaRaptor thanks! It was slow progress but absolutely worth it

My process... bi-weekly cleaning with Brake Buster. Every 2 months I do a "reset" on the tires to strip them of any old dressing using a dedicated rubber and tire cleaner along with a Tuf Shine brush. Then if I'm going to Starbucks or the mall, I'll dress the tires and wipe to a matte shine. Just say "NO" to shiny tires!

Wow, just had this same problem and your tip worked like a charm. Thanks!

I always used Simple Green and get great results, but it needs to be done every three to four months.
The heat gun idea seems legit as I always use the hottest water possible and straight Simple Geen when scrubbing the damn tires.
I've thought about buying a steam cleaner but that's nuts, not to mention my wife would kill me. LOL

Anyway this just arrived today, a great seat for doing brown tire syndrome;
@AdamsPolishes
What do you have that will work, with just one apply and rinse with getting rid of brown tire?
BTW, what a great beer holder, Adams Polishes!!!
