3M makes a good tire shine. I started using it on mine.

When you put that stuff on you need to let it soak in for a wile,,
if you take off right away it'll fling off.. when i do mine i do it the night before and let it sit overnight to soak in good...none comes off for me.

John, pressure wash your wheelwells, then carefully mask the inner part of the fender lining (the white part), and spray on truck bedliner. I did that on the Zilla. You'll never see that again, and it withstands the punishment quite well.

Consider using CD2 on the tires. Works great.

Mequiar'* Tire Gel works great, but I sparingly apply it, let it sit for a bit, then wipe it dry with a dry rag. Normally I have to wipe it again after a short drive. Now this doesn't give that wet look that some people want, but all that I want is a nice black tire.
