Before the shine juice application - try a scrub with Mother's Back to Black - works wonders on mine....

You could always try some tire paint:

Id wash the edge of the tire, then apply the shine twice.

Now if you drive off of the pavement, any dusty road, rocks, grass will magically remove your shine too.

I believe you can get a kit on ebay for 340. Its a lot of work to install it.

Yeah, tires are stupid...
