Default Nitto Trail Grapplers Question

I've had mine for over a year and I cannot seem to get them shiny. Currently they have a few clay/mud stains and are looking quite dull. What do you guys use/do to make them look more shiny/black?

Flip the tires. One side is for flat finish. The other is the shiny. Kind if like white lettering vs black.

The only time mine will look shiny is when it rains. I would never disrespect my Trail grapplers like that lol

Use armor all extreme tire shine. I have found this to be the wettest look and make any tire shine for weeks even if it has some dirt on it. I own my own detailing business so I've tried almost everything.

I don't make them shiny, just black. Use this stuff, pulls the dirt right out.

Default Shiny ?

...Come on guy, Shiny tires on a jeep ? It's an off-road vehicle, I can understand the tires being clean but not shiny. To each it's own, I use Castrol tire and rim cleaner (Purple Bottle) they look flat black after cleaning.

I don't like shiny tires either, but I do like them clean when I wash the Jeep. I hit them with the bleach white like stated above and have always followed with NoTouch Tire Care..original satin. This stuff is great, nice clean look without the shine.
