Keep your truck looking sharp at all times – from the cab to the tires. In this guide, we’ll show you how to blacken your tires and keep your rims clean.

Why keeping tires and rims clean is important

  • Safety: Brake dust and dirt reduce grip and increase braking distance.
  • Lifespan: Less wear on tires and rims through proper cleaning.
  • Professional appearance: A neat truck exudes confidence.

Step 1: Clean tires

  • Rinse: Remove mud and loose dirt with a garden hose or pressure washer.
  • Cleaning: Use a tire cleaner or car shampoo and a tire brush.
  • Rinsing: Rinse the tires thoroughly with water.
  • Drying: Allow the tires to dry completely.

Step 2: Blacken tires

  • Use a quality tire black for long lasting results.
  • Apply with a cloth or applicator.
  • Distribute the product evenly over the sidewall of the tire.
  • Let dry thoroughly. Repeat if necessary for extra shine.

Step 3: Clean & protect rims

  • Cleaning: Spray rim cleaner and brush off dirt.
  • Rinsing: Rinse the rims thoroughly with water.
  • Drying: Use a soft cloth for drying.
  • Protect: Apply rim wax for long-lasting protection.
