Scrub the tire first with a scrubbing brush and soap. You can find soap for tires at any auto parts store. Allow the tires to dry before continuing to the next step.

Purchase gloves for your hands. Tire dressing can be rather messy and hard to wash off. Gloves help protect your hands, and save you the trouble of having to scrub them after applying the dressing to your tires. Any gloves will do, such as rubber gloves you would use to clean your sink, or latex gloves.
