How to keep tires black and shining?

this may be a stupid question, but whats the best way to keep tire sidewalls black and shining? Just use tire shine or are their other products/proceedures to keep them looking good? Thanks.

The Wax & Wash section will help you out alot. But what I do is 2 times a year, take the wheels off the car, and give the tires a GOOD scrubdown to remove all the brake dust and old tire shine, then dry them off, and let them dry by air.

Then I use Surf City Garages Beyond Black Tire Shine. It provides a nice, matte black surface which wont blind people from the sun's reflection!! and look natural new tire

Exactly. Wash & Wax is the place to be.

Tire dressing at each wash (or every other wash) is how to keep them up, but from time-to-time you've got to have a fresh clean surface to work from. I clean mine up good at each tire rotation.

I've been using Meguiar's Hot Shine spray lately and it's pretty good. No residue, but it's doesn't last quite as long as some prodcuts either.
