Soap and water with a brush. After that the covers go on. Jim.

I used Armor All on every tire I've owned since the early 70's from motorcycles to motorhomes and never had a problem.....

Why DO today what you can put off 'til tomorrow..

303 for a good look, and tire covers in storage.

Michelin says don't put anything on them. Tires are not supposed to shine anyway.

Actually, Michelin recommends their Step Two Tire Shine, that they say is formulated to retard sidewall deterioration. I use it, and it looks good. Blue bottle, yellow top, available on the net.

Never use petroleum or alcohol based tire dressings.

We also use Michelin Step Two Tire Shine, got ours at at an Auto Parts store, O'Rileys I think. Have used it for three years years, keep tires covered, no cracks in 40,000 mile six year old XRV's. Richard

If you do search you will find that, Pinnacle Black Onyx gel, Optimum tire shine, and extreme black can be used.
