why do you want the shine off?
whatever you do, don't use armoral's tire cleaning foam.. because it sucks.

Wesley's Bleach-White whitewall cleaner is effective on the crud buildup and getting rid of shine (even if you don't have whitewalls). Spray it on and work it in with a hand brush or floor brush with stiff bristles, then hose it off.

i tryed using dish soap...............nothing tryed goo gone acually tryed an entire bottle............nothing then i found some bad ass degreser for the oven and i worked perfectly cut straight through it but i wouldnt do it more then once or twice cuz the stuff might damage the rubber

Gliptone's Emerald Green Degreaser...it is green and it is incredibly cncentrated...I am yet to find a foriegn particle that it cannot remove. Use with caution and wash it off for at least 5 minutes. I guarentee it will take all that crap off your tyres. It removes tar like it was normal road dirt.

They make a wide variety of very, very potent products

thanks i may get some of that...........But it kinda scares me lol but since i finally got it off im just gonna stay on top of it I just got some pump spray eagle stuff but what happened was I got some arosol meguirs hot shine and the stuff just never wanted to come off so when ever i put more on it wouldn’t really shine it looked like a dumped a bottle of armeral into a full vacuum cleaner bag :dumbass:

black magic tire shine seems to work for me, its really think pump bottle stuff and it also helped me get rid of that brown tinge in my tires
of course ive never had a complaint when it comes to black magic...exept that it feels wierd on your hands
