The look and finish of your tyres can make a big difference to your car’s overall appearance. Over time, UV rays, oxidisation and salt from the road can mean that the natural shine of the rubber starts to fade, making the tyres look tired and out of place on your shiny, just-washed car. Tyres are also susceptible to UV damage. They absorb the sun’s rays more than any other part of your car, and this can cause their colour to fade over time.

If you take pride in your car, washing and waxing it regularly, you don’t want your tyres to let you down. To remove oxidisation, scour the plastic with a piece of wire wool in a circular motion, taking care not to touch the paintwork. Any oxidisation should lift off easily, leaving the plastic smooth and ready for you to treat it. Step 3: Apply a Bumper or Trim Care Product Before applying any restorative products, it’s important to make sure the tyre is completely clean, particularly on the sidewall where the product will be applied. If you want to clean your alloys while you’re working on your wheels, use a specialist alloy cleaner. Simoniz Ultracare doesn’t corrode your alloys even if they’re scuffed, so you can use it even on old wheels. Spray it on first and let it soak in for a few minutes. Before applying any products, you’ll need to remove any and all oxidisation from your car’s plastic trim. Oxidisation leaves plastic surfaces looking faded and white, so it’s important to remove it for the best results.

A week under snow did last year’s winner no favours. It’s still a great protectant, lasting right to the end, and you can apply the gel accurately and with minimal waste – although this can take longer than the sprays. Verdict Keeping your car exterior clean is a great way to take care of the aesthetic of your car as well as its longevity. Follow our step by step guide.

For this reason, it’s worth spending some time on your tyres and bumpers to make your car look as good as new. Restoring tyres and plastic materials to their just-bought best is surprisingly easy, provided you have the right tools for the job. If you take pride in your car, you want to make it shine from top to bottom – and the first thing you probably focus on is the paintwork. Dry the tyres as best as you can. Paper towel or kitchen roll works well for soaking up water from tyres – or you can leave them to dry naturally. First, you’ll want to wash and dry your car thoroughly, finishing the paintwork with a fresh coat of wax if it’s time to apply a new one. Be sure to clean the wheels as well as you possibly can, using a pressure washer and soft-bristled brush to remove brake dust and deposits from hard-to-reach areas.

Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide. Sure, regular washing can help. But you also need to use the right products to give the tyres that rich, glossy appearance that can elevate the overall look of your car. As we touched on before, rubber isn’t naturally shiny, so the surface needs “dressing” regularly to maintain the desired shine. In this guide, we’ll show you how to restore tyres, plastic bumpers and other faded trim around your car, so that every aspect of your car continues to look its best for longer. But while cleaning and waxing your car will keep it protected and looking like new, neglecting your tyres and trim could let down the appearance of your whole car and impact its resale value.Clean the tyres as normal. A pressure washer can blast away dirt and debris, while we’d also recommend a soft-bristled brush to aggravate stains without risking any damage to the alloys. Start by giving the car a good clean using high-quality car shampoo. This will remove any dirt, debris and grease from bumpers and trim, ensuring a clean, smooth surface on which to work. Once you’re happy the car is completely clean from boot to bonnet, dry it off with a soft microfibre cloth or chamois. Step 2: Remove Surface Oxidisation Using a pressure washer (or hose if you don’t have access to one), give the tyres a good blast, making sure to get right under the wheel arch to remove dirt and debris. If you want your wheels to look their showroom best, it’s also a good idea to use a wire brush to remove brake dust and other dirt from the alloys themselves. div>
