DIY Tire Shine

When I think of April I think of taxes. Bluh....I know, but in our house taxes are especially irritating because my husband has his own business. If there are any of you out there that have your own business, you know what I'm talking about. Owning your own business is hard, and when you have to pay really high taxes, you spend 70% of your income so you can write it off. Ever since we've gotten married, and I have a normal job that takes taxes out, this has played a big role in us not owing the government a ton of money.

This year after filing, we actually got a return!!!!! Being the fun and exciting "grown ups" we are, we decided it was time to get myself some new tires. I've needed some for about a year now, so the timing was perfect. Driving of the lot with my new tires this week felt so wonderful. When I got home though I, noticed my husbands tires looked kind of sad. Thinking to myself I wondered what I could do to give them a fresh breath of life. I looked around the house to see what was available to make my concoction. This is what I came up with, and I think it did the trick.

 You will need:
1/2 cup baby oil
1 tsp dish soap
Spray bottle

I cleaned out an old spray bottle and used it for this little project. You can use any dish soap you'd like, but I used the blue dish soap from Aldi, comparable to dawn.

1. Spray down your tires and  rims.
2. Wipe clean with a cloth or paper towel

Voila! Don't they look great? I'm super happy with the results. This was a fun little Saturday afternoon job. Do you have any diy car cleaning tips? If so I'd love to hear about them!!
