Clean your tires with a good tire cleaner and a brush, this step varies a lot depending on what kind/size tires and wheels you have. Making sure the tires are clean is very important. After the tires are clean just use a water based tire dressing. You can tell a dressing is water based by looking at it. If it's a milky white it's water based, the thicker, clear dressings are petrolium based and are usually the sticky ones that hold onto dust. Armor All original works well, just apply with a tire swipe.
