Question How does this stuff work??

Black Magic.

I used it on my tires per the recommendation of a friend, and - WOW. My tires look freakin' awesome. I did make sure only to spray on my sidewalls, as I've read how that stuff is NOT good for traction. They have a brilliant black glossy shine to them now. And they looked like crap before, especially in comparison to the rest of my newly Zaino'd car. It was like wearing a suit, tie, and sneakers. Inappropriate!

How in the heck does that stuff work? I just sprayed it on, left it to dry, and I come back and the tires are clean. Is it really black magic that is bottled in a can, and if so, is that legal? I thought we got rid of magic, witches, etc. years ago.


oh...and also, how bad is that stuff for your rims? I tried to spray only on the sidewall, but a spray can isn't exactly a precision aiming device...

Won't hurt the rim, should be in the appearance forum, and if we knew how it worked I would be rich bottling a knock of version of it.

Guess you're right re appearance forum, sorry about that. However lots of us know how various things work but we don't run off making them. Cars, for instance. Or, closer to the topic, Windex.

Surely someone has an idea what sorts of things they throw in there to make the wheels look so nice and black? What happens to the dirt? Does it actually get cleaned off, or just painted over? If the latter, how come the foam isn't black?

I still think it's witchcraft.

Looking at all their products they offer; witchcraft is a strong possiblity.

Anyone know where the company is based? Could be a center for past witchcraftness.
