What do you blacken your tires with?

How often do you wash your car? If so, how often do you use the tire blackening service? If often enough, then you should understand that this service is not worth using at a cheap car wash.

We often write about the fact that the rubber compound is an extremely complex product and its recipe has a lot of components, the combination of which provides all the necessary properties for as long as possible. Improper care for tires, namely contact with petroleum products or other liquids of this kind, can lead to a change in the physical properties of the rubber. Changes can lead to a decrease in characteristics or a reduction in the service life of the tire.

You know, what exactly is used to blacken your tires at the car wash? In pursuit of reducing the cost of washing, this can be a means that is not only not recommended but also contraindicated for contact with tires. For example, all sorts of places or means that give a shine, but at the same time have a detrimental effect on the properties of the rubber.

Our recommendation is to refuse to blacken the tires. If you want to drive on shiny tires, then buy a high-quality blackener of a well-known brand and perform this procedure yourself.
