Been into the car scene for decades and the old guys used a trick for tire dressing long before ArmorAll and the like was ever concieved....sugar in water. Weird I know, but that was the hot tip in the early days. Hot water, dissolve sugar, dispense liberally from spray bottle. Can't comment on the concentration, but I have tried it and it does work, not as good as today's products of course. It is cheap though, and not gonna be slippery. May be where the term Sweet Ride originated, who knows? Didn't notice it ever attracting dust or insects either. Wedgie
