Blooming on new tires?

Hi all,

Is it really possible to get blooming on new tires? Bought a new '25 few months ago. We had a sandstorm in the area on that day, so I thought tires just happened to be dirty. After several washes and 5K miles later, they still look brown (1st picture)

On a side note, had to replace front tires on my old car recently - see how brownish they look compared to 4 yr/30K miles older rear tires (3rd picture) ! How can I get blooming so fast! So I used Meguiar's hot rims (purple bottle) on the tires, it worked out pretty good (4th picture). But I heard it's not safe on all wheels, could I use it on ST as well? I should also add that I just like natural black look and don't use tire shines.

Also if there is any easy way to clean the wheel barrel (2nd picture), please let me know!

Thanks for your help!
