beer

I use Barret Jackson tire shine for the sheen. It doesn't affect the lettering. I just wash the tires as normal when needed. (scrub brush and comet) I wiped the sidewall down with a lacquered rag before stenciling the letters, so it sticks pretty darn good! I still have an old burned off tire from a smoke show from about 6 years ago, I did the same thing to. it still looks pretty decent for sitting out in the weather, leaning against my shed in the sun for that long. I'll snap a photo and see if I can attach it here.
