Tire Shine that won't yellow

[Stumann]

I have a 78 Trans-Am that has BFGoodrich Radial TA RWL tires. I've tried several brands of tire shine and so far all of them will yellow my RWL's within a few days. Is there a product out there that won't yellow?

I’ve never had Meguiars M40 Vinyl &
Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner cause
any yellow-ing to the RWLs on tires.

What have you tried?
I have had great success with Mckees37 tire and rubber rejuvinator followed by their tire gel. If you want more longevity go with their tire coating. Mckees 37 is working on a Spray Tire Shine Soi2 enhanced. I have a sample of it and it lasts about 3 weeks. I haven't reapplied anything in over a month and have zero browning or yellowing.


The key is to clean the tire extremely well then apply your tire shine product.

I'd bet you're not get the tires clean before you apply the "tire shine", you're most likely picking up dirt on the applicator and when you go over the white letters it looks yellow.

How old are the tires? If they're older than about 5 years or so, I've seen this problem a few times.

If you don'y find exactly what you are looking for, try this.
After thoroughly cleaning the tires and applying the dressing, go over the RWLs with a common "over the counter" bleach-white tire cleaning product. I cant tell you the name of the particular product due to forum policy. Just look in any auto parts store and you will find it!

After you dress the tire. Carefully rub the letters with some lacquer thinner on a white terry towel. Try not to touch the black part of the tire

In addition to my earlier response, it looks like Duragloss has a similar product available here at Autogeek that will also get those RWLs to clean up nicely.

The yellowing probably comes from any grime that is left on the dressing applicator. I use a Q Tip with rubbing alcohol or tire cleaner to clean the letters individually.
