Now, I just clean them with 409 or Absolutely Awsome and run them naked.

Before there was tire dressing I used brake fluid on a rag for years...…...
If you have white lettering you have to be careful because it will transfer black onto the white if you overlap the rag onto the white lettering. The only time I ever had white lettering showing is if I bought a car with letters out, otherwise I always mounted black out.
