[Rob x3]

I had a friend years ago who detailed and would make his own 'armour all'....

Anyone have any insight on a DIY tire shine/dressing?

coca cola? I thought it was pretty acidic i mean if its comparable to a car batteries acid, wouldn't it damage the tire?

I know! And that's what we consume, I actually tried it today and I have got to tell you it shines( due to your information about the acid I only did one) is it really that bad?

Do you know what kind of pledge?

[H22apower]

It's the oil kind but the spray should work too. I'll take pictures of the mess lol.

hmm. i'm going to try these out. if i remember correctly he used a combo of hair conditioner and baby oil.

[H22apower]

Woah baby oil is very slick apply with caution.

if ur gonna waste your money on pledge, coca cola, baby oil, and hair conditioner, might as well get a real tire shine.. just sayin'

Exactly what I was thinking.

I have also read just buy a big bottle of canola oil, wipe it on a rag and wipe on tire. If you feel tire shine's consistancy it feels the same as an oil, so try some out on a tire and see if it works.

Ok ha household items.............

i was just thinking if i can produce a large volume of it with less than $10 of household items than why not. but if i have to buy 2 liter of coke every week, than forget it.

coke contains more phosphoric acid then a car battery google it.
