I do all my cars and my bike tires with pledge [furniture polish] after you wash them with soap and water. IMHO it gives them the new look with out the nasty shine that turns brown in a week. of course on the bike I never polish any part that may come in contact with the road. The seats I have cleaned with armor all, even the mx bikes I raced, The secret is to squirt 1 time into a clean micro fiber towel and rub the **** out of it. It also will look clean but not shiny or slick. the key to professional detailing is moderation, A little goes along way. I havent been to their site in a long time but spend some time on autogeeks detailing site and forum, Its amazing what you will learn.

+1, this method has always worked well for me. And relatively cheap.

I just use Dawn with warm water and a brush to clean mine with. I am not going to put any kind of dressing on my MC tires. Not even Ranch.

Tire shine is not for this cat it always looks wrong.Found a product made specifically for tires left out in the sun aka farm machinery etc.It has an spf factor and leaves the ires looking natural with no slippery greasy finish. 303 Aeropace Protectant
