Default tires question.. washing tires help??

Okay so i am new to all these so pls help. my question is specifically about rc18mt.. but i guess it applies to any tires. after few days of run, i felt like my rc18mt was loosing power.. no more wheelies and climibing stuff that was laying around in my floor. I thought my motor went bad or my battery was weak. And just for kicks, i washed my tires.. woah! felt like the truck regained its whole strength.. i guess the traction got better. I had no idea that simple washing of tires improves this much performance.. now my question is do u guys, rc experts, wash tires after every use?? haha sounds like silly question. But how do u maintain tires? is there any specific agent to treat tires that makes it gain more traction? seems like clean and washed tires playes major role here.. or am i totally mistaken?
