Waterless Washed the Car. Now what for the Tires?

[falcaineer]

I just did my second-ever waterless wash yesterday - forgot how good that stuff smells  . The car looks great, but I was left wondering what I should do to clean the tires "without water." Didn't even think about it last time, apparently.

 

What do you all do?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

P.S. I guess the same question could be asked for a Rinseless, but I haven't done that yet.

I just hit mine with waterless wash and an old microfiber towel

This. Or detail spray and an old MF towel.

I will use APC and rub it with a old towel. After I do all 4 I will then apply tire shine.

When I had my Raptor, I just applied VRT over the dirt

When mobile detailing I bring a garden sprayer (like 2 gallon) with just water and wash the wheels, week wells, and tires like normal.

 

I guess you could just wipe em down with waterless wash as well.

Belated thanks, guys!

 

Had to go back and find this one. Ressurecting in case someone has the same question and/or more inputs.

This is probably the main reason I don't do Rinseless washes. IMO the wheels/tires are the dirtiest part of the vehicle. I'm sure a dedicated set of MF towels and/or brushes would work. You would just need to get the process down pat and repeatable.

I have a dedicated wheel brush (non Adam's) I use with Rinseless wash.  I wash the car first, then use the remaining Rinseless wash for the wheels.  I have another dedicated brush that I will use on the tires after the wheels are cleaned.  That brush ends up very nasty, but the polymers on the the Rinseless wash can add a little gloss on the tires.

Spray the tires with Tire and Rubber Cleaner then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Follow this with Tire Shine or SVRT. The wheels I would use Waterless Wash and a microfiber cloth like the Borderless Gray.

Eco APC and a stiff bristle brush, tire shine after it dries

Tire & Rubber Cleaner. Follow with Tire Shine. I WW the wheels using old MFs.
