Turtle Wax 2001. Comes in bright green bottle. Do not spray directly on tires. Spray on cloth (sock is a good one) and apply that way. Keep on it. They will not dry rot or hurt your tires.

You should actually wash your tires too. Last thing at washing! This turtle wax brand doesn't make them look plastic or fake. Looks good. You can see my pics in the gallery, but the tires are kinda hard to notice. Looks better in person.

I did this by mistake... I had this invisible glass cleaner that is really good for windows of course. Well I accidentally sprayed in on my tires, I just grabbed the bottle and started to go. I didn't realize what I had until I got to the 2nd tire. And amazingly the first tire looked really good.
I didn't trust it though and I rinsed it off and used the real tire cleaner.

I recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant on your tires. It's not cheap but it also works to protect anything plastic, vinyl, or leather inside or out as well. It gives tires a nice black, matte finish and lasts for weeks. It comes in a spray bottle and works best with a tire swipe pad.
Don't tell me you're going to have a waxed, polished, and sparkling Cobalt body with grungy tires underneath. It'll ruin everything.
Then again, why clean your tires if they are just going to get dirty again

Mine are kinda brownish (I haven't put anything on them yet) and it sticks out against my shiny black car. I tried washing them with a brush and car wash soap, but when they dried, they looked the same as before I started.

I'm not really sure which Turtle Wax 2k1 product you're are referring to, after checking their website.
Can you post a link please? Also, it may not be available in Canada.

Didn't see it in their web either. You can find it all over the web. Here's at least what it looks like. Hope it helps. From Amazon.com.

Zaino also has a good tire product. It's not super glossy either for those who don't like alot of shine on their rubber.
Uhh, maybe I should have re-phrased that

I think that may be the wrong bottle size shown in the picture though.
