How to Wash Car Tires to Make Them Look Like New?

When washing the front wheels, turn the steering wheel to make it easier to clean all areas. Regular detergent is sufficient for washing. Use a sponge for cleaning large sections. The exhaust pipe can be cleaned with just a sponge; there's no need to use a brush.

I often wash my car tires to make them look brand new, starting with basic preparation: park in the shade and rinse the tires with water to remove surface dust. Then spray professional tire cleaner or neutral car wash soap, letting it soak for a few minutes to soften the dirt. Next, use a soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush to carefully scrub the rims and tire sidewalls, especially the mud in the cracks; then rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure water gun. Afterward, quickly dry the tires to avoid water stains. When applying water-based tire shine, do it evenly and gently wipe for a matte finish—avoid oily products as they attract dust. Remember to wash them every two weeks; doing it too often can damage the rubber. Choosing eco-friendly, low-chemical products protects the environment, and checking tire pressure ensures even wear and extends lifespan.
