What is tire dressing?
Before we dive deep into the procedure and technique. We should know that what actually is tire dressing. Tire dressing is the formula or the mixture of two or more formulas ( containing both cleaner and shine ) that is used to restore old faded tires to bring them back to life. It mainly consists of wheel cleaner and tire shine.

Now let the wheel cleaner sit there for a maximum of 2 minutes and then rinse it off with clean water.
3. Get your bad dude to shine out
After the second step let your wheels dry and then apply the tire shine to the tires. And use the same brush to clean the tires too ( but make sure the brush is well cleaned after the wheels things being done ). Now let the tire shine sit there for two minutes and then rinse it off.

Different types of tire dressing
There are generally two types of tire dressing which are water-based tire dressing and non-water based tire dressing ( OR solvent-based )
Here are some of the advantages of both types of tire dressings.
Advantages of water-based tire dressing

- Give rapid results
On the other hand non-water based requires proper care to handle as they are a mixture of different chemicals that can cause harm to the human body.
But everything has its pros and cons as there are two sides to the mirror
Non-water based dressing has its advantages as well like
Advantages of non-water-based tire dressing
- They are more long-lasting than the water-based
- Offer more resistance to the water and dirt

If you are a car dude and can handle things in a great way it is better to go with solvent-based or non-water baked tire dressing because it offers more durability to tire shine.
But if you are new to the game and will end up ruining your clothes using non-water based it is more user-friendly.
How often you should be doing tire dressing?
It is advised to apply wheel cleaner every time you go to a car wash to show some love to your car’s wheel
