Re: Motor oil to shine tires?

motor oil on tires is sketchy, jus think that same oil on ur tires can n prolly will splash onto ur car when u drive, and do you really want motor oil splashing onto your paint? stick to a tire gel

i wash and wax cars for extra cash in the summer and i know for a fact that turtle wax and meguires both make a special wax specifically for tires. only bad thing ive found is that dirt really sticks to it if you dont wipe them after, but wiping them give them a duller shine.

i'm sure the epa would take interest in this "professional" dealer talking about putting used motor oil on tires. i always thought your supposed to properly recycle used motor oil.....
