Your tires play a major role in determining the appearance of your car. The upkeep and maintenance of your tires are as important as keeping the exterior body parts of your vehicle clean. To allow your vehicle to grab the attention it deserves, you need to pay special attention to the cleanliness of your tires. Getting the best tire shine pushes the individuality you want. It also adds to that extra “pizzazz” of a waxed and shiny ride.

However, if you think cleaning your car’s tires only enhances the visual appearance, you are mistaken. Proper maintenance also protects your tires from cracking and weathering (due to excessive wear). It removes corrosion and protects your tire's thread from various elements. Therefore, clean your tires every time you wash your car, or at least once every two weeks.
