Re: Tire Dressing

I rarely touch any of the silicone and oil based dressings because they are horrible for the enviroment, not great for the tires and don't really clean, just shine. Best solution for daily use that has been around forever and actually cleans the tires is to clean your tires and wheels good with the left over car wash water. Use a cup of vinegar with a couple of table spoons of lime juice in it and a stiff brush to do a second cleaning, wash it off. Take a can of cola and sponge it on, let it dry. Lasts longer than the oil based dressings, looks natural not shiney like the silicone cleaners. Your driveway or garage floor will love ya for it.
