To remove the gray from your tires (as well as some stains from your white/red stripe, RWL) you can use a little lacquer thinner on a rag and sparingly wipe the tires down. It will bring them back to black in no time and does not leave a shine. It is the A-All that it graying up on the tires. Just remove it and start over.

After you wipe them down with a little lacquer thinner to get them clean, do you put anything on the tire, or just leave them a natural flat black rubber? Does Bleach-White work for removing the "gray" film, or will that cause the film to reappear?
Strange, but I found that the tires look fine over the winter, then the first time I drive the car in the Spring, all 4 tires have the gray film (I use Formula 2000, satin). Must be the heat generated in the tires, after driving a few miles, that brings the product (Armor All, etc.,) up to the top?

As for the Bleche-White, it does remove the waxy gray buildup that occurs on my Cokers over the winter. It takes me two applications of the B-W but the tires do clean up nicely. My complaint with B-W is that it is pretty nasty stuff if you get it on your skin or in your eyes. I wash down my driveway first and keep the water trickling past the tire because the B-W cleans the dirt and moss out of the pores in the driveway concrete and leaves cleaner areas where the B-W washed away the dirt and moss! First time I used B-W on my Cokers I had to pressure-wash the driveway so it would match the areas where the B-W cleaned out the winter moss staining.
