Hello, kids! Scroll on down for Today's Tip!


MAKE YOUR TIRES LOOK LIKE NEW!

Do your car or truck tires look dull and dingy? Here's how to
make them look shiny and new again!
  • Purchase a tire shining product from your auto supply store or big-box discount store. Manufacturers refer to it as tire shine, tire gloss or tire dressing.
  • Wash and scrub your tires to remove dirt and mud.
  • Spray the tire thoroughly with the tire shine. Make sure to spray the tire wall and NOT the tread, which could cause skidding on the road.
  • Use a cloth to spread the tire shine evenly over the tire walls. Wipe in the same direction around the tire to keep a uniform appearance. Use a clean cloth to touch up the rims if you overspray.
  • Don't drive until the product is completely dry. Dirt and dust will be attracted and will stick to your tires if you drive before the product dries.

Tire shining product?.. I've been using car wax on tires for the last few years but that doesn't seem to work very well for some reason..

Seriously, I use Armor All, it's good stuff.

Talking Try the old tip as well

Tires looking new again? Pam this is the time to use the once again famous Spam & a pantyhose tip. Good for furniture & rubber. Yep,,,,, place the spam inside the pantyhose and rub the tire in a circular motion around the tire, clockwise or counter clockwise it works well in either direction, just avoid anything other than a straight back and forth motion. Use a small arc or a larger one while moving the pantyhose and spam around the sidewall of the tire.

It works well for the wood furniture polishing inside the home, but outside in the garage it’s always good on tires. Apply only when the car is in the shade or cool garage area, and remember the odor will pass within a few hours. Let it dry before taking the car out on the road and avoid those streets where neighbors that allow their dogs to run loose.
