If you aren't into DIY, I recommend finding a dollar store and taking a peek at the automotive section: it usually contains either a liquid or foaming tire shine product-for $1!

1cup warm water/ 2 cups coconut oil/ half teaspoon dishsoap and lemon juice. Spray bottle/ shake well. Spray to dry areas and let sit until absorbed into rubber, plastic trim, leather interior and dash. Apply a second coat if desired for extra shine.

Keep doing what u r doing, its always good to see/hear abt different tactics u can use to make things better on ur vehicles.....

I tried the 50-50 sugar water. I used 12 oz sugar, 12 oz water, and 2 oz ant killer. It doesn't work well (but the ants are smart enough to stay away). At first the sugar makes the tires look dark and wet, but then it later crystallizes and looks like a sugar glaze ('cuz it is). Unless you want tires that look like a honey-glazed chocolate doughnut, don't try this! Also, it's a mess working with sugar water. It's sticky and gets on the wheels. It makes a smeary mess. The spray gets on your hands, arms, and I think some even got in my eyes (which started to hurt because of the ant killer). I have hairy arms so the sticky spray was uncomfortable. At first I tried a spray bottles but both quickly got clogged. Then I used a bucket and an old shoe brush, like they use at Cobblestone Car Wash. So after I had to wash the bucket, the brush, etc. And had to take a shower. Later I will also have to re-wash my tires+wheels and re-apply real tire shine. Anyway, I recommend just paying for the professional spray tire shine. I buy the expensive stuff for $10 and it only does around 12 tires, but it's not worth the hassle of using sugar.

The Coke and the sugar water are almost the same thing...ergo the same results. Had a friend in the trucking business, he used brake lfuid every once in a while. Said it actually worked well to keep tires from cracking by melding the rubber together. I wouldn't use too much of it though. The sugar water and Coke ( actually any soda with a lot of sugar in it would probably work )

Clycerine is the best ....long lasting and does not harm the tyres

I'm a beekeeper and my bees would all over that sugar water. Lol. Good video tho.

Now I know why Santa's truck looks so shiny.

Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner! I was looking for ways to get the crud off my tires on my golf cart, sprayed it on and as soon as it hit the brown stuff started coming off. I wiped the dirt off sprayed it again to get more dirt off, and then sprayed it once more and let it sit... was going to wipe it off but was surprised when I seen the shine...

A 5 dollars tire shine - almost any cheap Walmart kind -- can hold 1 year and more... if you don't use it every day . who needs to use it more than once in 3-4 weeks anyways??. Most tire shines last FOREVER with smart and economic use. McGuires "Endurance" for example...only a few drops of it are required for a single tire. No more than a few drops on a very clean tire.. Generally speaking, plastic, trims and rubber materials work on the same basis. You can use a cheapie like " STP's Son of a Gun" on ALL rubber and plastic and vynil parts of your vehicle. Tires included. It's quite stupid to spray sugar water on your tires when even REGULAR BLACK SHOE SHINE will work MUCH better. Rubbing your tires with tire shine is not needed on a daily or weekly basis. Once a month will do just fine. the tires keep staying black if you do that regularly. The big bottle of endurance tire gel can last you 3 to 4 years if you'll use it on 1 vehicle once in 3 or 4 weeks. Easily..

Honestly id rather stick to what is made for car tyres, these life hacks may look better but in the long run may damage the tyre stability by causing cracks or drying out the rubber!

Cola and sugar water - nice way to get your wheels covered with bugs... be sure to get them on your brake discs just to get that caramel shine :D no seriously don't use sugar products on your car..

Goat milk and maple syrup work fine..

So, sugar shines?

Quit being so damn cheap. If you are a car enthusiast and keep your car running and looking good then cough up the bucks and buy Meguiar's Tire Shine Gel. Get a 1 1/2 " cheap ass paint brush. Pour some of the gel into a container then brush it on your tire. You don't need to use the gel liberally. Let the tires dry for 30 minutes before driving. It lasts for weeks. Best tire shine money can buy...btw...I have a 2015 Chevy Sonic and it looks like it just came off the showroom floor!

There’s a reason they make tyre shine to protect and to stop tyres cracking , all these hacks will ruin the tyre over time
