Thx to @adventurenali92 for the Stoner Terminator info. Found at O'Reilly's for $6.99 per can. Used 1.25 cans to do all 4 tires on the NNBS. Stuff works really well to get rid of the brown tire bloom. APC and pressure washer were no match.

You have to work fast as it flashes off pretty quick, so working a small section quickly yields the best results. I used a still hand brush and a lot of elbow grease to shift the bloom, after reading some comments online. Funny how products can find their way into another use than what they were intended for.

After a wash and tire dressing the tires looked much better since the sidewall was cleaner. Something I've been trying to solve for some time.

Awesome!! Should make your tire shine last a bit longer as well since the dressing is actually applying to the tire’s surface! You used a lot of product for all four tires though hahaha

yes I did. It was pretty bad and I scrubbed them tars hard. Plus over 80F and that aerosol can spray dissipated rather quickly. No simple rub on the rag trick was going to happen. But happy they are clean.
Good tip Thst one. Thx.

I didn’t think about the heat! I learned about that little trick in November and have been using it since. But it’s not 80 degrees here haha. Good thought!

Use a quality tire shine and tire cleaner like Adam's and you won't have that problem returning.

Gotta find some way to have Suburban on or off both sides of the driver's door. That would drive me insane.
Here we go again [emoji1787] there’s a way. It’s a door repaint. And cross fingers they get that tri-coat to match!

Why not just pull the emblem off the other side?

For cleaning tires, I use super clean and it cleans the tires up nice prior to applying tire shine. Works awesome!!! :waytogo:
