"Just finished talking about cleaning your chrome and making sure that we've done nothing to damage it, and we really brightened it up. If we focus on the tire here, a lot of people want their tire to look deep and rich and wet. You dress it up with a nice tire dressing. In order for your tire to look good, the base tire itself has got to be clean. So what I recommend is using a just a same product we used on our wheel, a non acid wheel cleaner, is a dual purpose product. We can just keep on coating that on our tires as well. What that's going to do, a little bit of agitation here with a brush. Just going to make it look beautiful. A lot of today's vehicles, you have a white raised letter, and that white letter you want it to pop out. What I've got here, is actually a wire brush. Something similar to you'd remove rust off of paint or something. That wire brush will go into those white raised letters. Or if you've got white walls on your tire. Nothing is better than a little cleaner and to come in there and just scrub on that white lettering or that white tire rim with your wire brush and it'll clean it right out. When we're done agitating that, and it's been on for couple minutes, simply rinse it off and we're ready to go onto the next stage which is going to be dressing the tire."
