    So I have the factory Bridgestone tires on my ride. The side walls are brown from blooming. I thought it was from tire dressings but I guess its a thing. Anyone have this problem? Ive used some tire cleaner and a shit ton of scrubbing its better but still there. Im just looking for the easiest way to get them clean.

    I don't know if it will help.

    But I don't use those tire shines. I use the purple super clean from O Riley and a brush. Seems to clean everything.

    Ive had alot of tires over the years but these are the only ones that are doing this. Since its going to be snowing soon maybe the salt will cover it up lol. Try again in the spring

    I had the same problem. What worked for me was chemical guys sticky orange degreaser. spray it all over the sidewalls and let soak in for a bit, then spray more, scrub well with a good brush and rinse. it should turn black again; at least it did for me.

    I did the same mistake back in the day where I used tire shine product and it make the tire dull looking after few days. Lesson learn I never use tire shine or chemicals on dashboard or any plastic.

    The only chemical I use are on my seats. I use leather conditioner.
