What Takes Off Old Shine on Tires..tried everything...?

I swear it i cannot believe my tires still have a shine, and waxy residue on them after all the cleaning i just did.

Basically, i'm sick of shining my tires, it's a mess..and even if i have a light coat on them afterwards, it still somehow splashes on my rear panels making the whole car wash go to sh*t in no time. The only thing i do is shine my wheels slightly...then wipe them completely dry. Now, today, every tire got overhauled, no joke. First i hose them down, then i completely cover the entire tire with greased lightning degreaser (the heavy duty purple bottle)....wait like 3 minutes, then hose it off. Next i sprayed the tire AGAIN, then a coarse sponge with the degreaser...and go to town scrubbing them....then i hose it off with a strong stream.

It's not over..lol.... NOW i get my car wash soap, and a brush....i brush them really good and then hose them off. After all his wheel cleaning, i completely clean my car with a mitt/soap then hose her down. I get on the highway, one exit....80mph...she's dry, just some towel spots to dry. Ok, here's when i'm scratching my head.....why the HELL are my tires STILL SHINY...?!?!?!?!? To the touch, they feel oiley..no joke. WHAT THE HELL do i use to get them completely dry looking..? The tires are goodyear l/s and are about maybe 2 years old also. So i doubt it's any self-oiling type deal, AND the only time i notice my tires look nice and dry/NO SHINE, is after a heavy rain storm..

How the hell didn't degreaser work...? And ALOT of it. I wasted a whole 32oz bottle on all 4 tires, it did do wonders for my wheels though, nice..

try useing some rubbing alchol. I remember useing that when i was in the service to take old wax off my boots before i applied a new coat. It worked well.

Try using Wesley's Tire Bleach

Spray the chemical on while the tires are DRY
Scrub like hell
Hose off

A pressure washer with a good detergent soap(Dawn) will blast anything off...
