I was struck by the OP. Did a full detail on my son's pickup this morning. Did the tires a few days ago but there was some new mud on them. Feeling lazy I finished the QEW wash and had a gallon of the dirty water mix left over. Thought, what the hell and poured 1 oz of armorall into the dirty QEW. Brushed it on the tires and let it set. Used an old damp microfiber to "dry" the tires and was amazed at the look! Not the straight armorall look, mind you, but black with a nice matte sheen! They were clean and certainly appeared to be dressed. GREAT idea! Thanks!!! Might work on wheel wells too!
