have you guys tried using softdrinks on your tire? i saw the wheels of my office mate pathfinder it was really shiny, he said that you can use softdrink on any black rubber to make it shiny. any comment on this...:confused:

It can probably help make it shiny but I would think it would make it sticky as well and cause the shine not to last long.

actually it's shiny because of the thick layer of ants all over your tire :laugh:

Wow, now we will really know whos a Pepsi person and whos a Coke person... just by the shine on their tires.

Seriously, thats pretty dumb. Soda is extremely acidic and tends to eat through things... ie: your tooth enamel. Can't be good for tires. However, using club soda might work... the effervescence (I'm not googling that one) helps pick dirt up off of most anything. Servers use it to polish silverware, too, so maybe it will work on your tires. :laugh:
