I've noticed a few cars in my garage that have a yellow/orangish tire fade and I kinda bothers me when I see it. These are nice newer BMW's and someone needs to say something to these people. Whats causes this coloring on the tires and what products work in correcting this?

The orangy color on tires is from crappy tire shine. When the shine gets washed away, all that is left is that gross color. It also is a build up of dirt and brake dust (you mentioned BMWs) It's pretty easy to remove, just buy a good tire/rubber cleaner and apply some GOOD dressing after that. Problem solved.

use that white wall tire bleach stuff, i use it whether or not there is any white on the tires, still does a good job of getting out the dirt. Aso use a good tire cleaning brush, the one i use has fairly stiff bristles and after i clean and scrub and apply tire wet, the tire wet lasts much longer
on my truck, i put tire wet like 2 weeks ago and it still looks wet/shiny

^^^ Yea, Westleys BLECHE-WHITE rules for getting the wall of a tire clean. Just try to avoid getting that stuff on the rims. Strong stuff...
