New tyres ...

Post by Jamie84 » Fri Sep 19, 2008 9:10 pm

I bought tyres from x7lda few weeks back , do you guys think I should change back to 48s??

you see the problem is tonight when I put my "tyre shine" on these tyres , they just dont look as good as the 48s , I cant really obtain the "wet look" .



??????????

Ready to be flamed....... But -

You need to wash them with a good de-greaser and get all the crap off them first. Then dress them with Tyre Paint to make them black again (get it online) - then apply the wet look gell. They have too much tyre dressing on them from two tyre changes to shine properly at the moment.
