Default Shiny F1 tyres

Is it me or are the F1 tyres super shiny this year? What's it all about?
Even when they're making pit stops, the tyres going on look brand new and really shiny. I didn't think they generally used brand spanking new tyres in the race. I thought they always scrubbed them in?
Or are the teams / Pirelli doing something with the tyres in between runs that makes then shiny again?
Anyone else noticed this?
