Default Cleaning / Detailing White Letter Tires

What is everyone using to detail their white letter tires?

I have been using either Simple Green or Bleach White depending how bad they are and then using Black Magic Titianium Matte Finish.

I can no longer find Matte Finish. It was not a silicone based product.

I'm also just wondering if there is a better method or product for this.

I'm not interested in any of the greasy tire shine stuff that looks like its been spray painted, that stuff just attracts dirt and slings off on the paint.

Adams APC but simple green will good good to clean the tires. I wouldn't use bleach.

to dress the tires I would use SVRT. It is a water based product and is has a matte finish, not a ugly high sticky shine. It is also dry to the touch and water resistant.

Bleach white is a tire cleaner, I'm not sure what is actually in it. I just realized I mispelled it. Its actaully called Bleche White.

I'll have to look for Adams APC and SVRT. Are these only available online, or is there a store that carries them.

I'm kinda surprised to see that VRT tire and trim dressing is $25. Most of the things I have bought over the years is less than 10 dollars.

I'm curious, has anyone seen it with white lettering or white walls? Just wondering what it does to that.

I may get some of it soon.

just gives it a nice matte finish and actually protects the rubber unlike the cheaper products. The good thing is that you're not forced to buy SVRT from adams, you can buy what you want. Personally, the super shiny tires that just attracts dirt and doesn't protect your rubber is not what I like.
