Are you using tirewet? I had experienced the same problem b4 when applying tirewet on my tires. When your brakes wear down, the dust then sticks to the silicone base shit from tirewet and wears the black coat of the rubber down. Foam spray does the same thing. I am not an "Professional Acura Detailer" *cough* so don't quote me on my answers. Also make sure that the same tool/rag/sponge you use on your tires to give it a glaze is clean. There are some cleaners out there that restore rubber, but you have to pay a little. I deal with only Blackfire/Zaino/or Griot's Garage products now so, i haven't had a problem with the brown tire look for about three years. OH and wash your tires thoro!

Eagle One had this tire cleaner spray available for a while around here. Can't find it any more. But with just cleaning the tire with this stuff, the tires kept the black semi flat look of a newer tire. This was without a treatment.
I now just scrub them with a brush, and then use a small ammount of low gloss dressing, that I buff out with a rag.
Looks pretty good.
But I hate that wet look on tires.

I dont use any silicone based product on my tires. After awhile they started to turn brown then into a greenish tone. I now use meguires tire cleaner then some 303 protect to get a nice shine.
