Why buy some expensive DuPont product?

The guy in Medellin who detailled my car made a mixture of 8 ounces of pepsi & 1/2 disc of panella to make a concoction to brush on the tires to make them look deep black and shiny. The short-lived look lasted about the same amount of time as any of the expensive stuff. He said coca cola works just as well. Panella, probably has a million and one uses from home remedies to skeet shooting.

The shine might be nice but after constant use,, guess what ???

I love these guys who repair tires. They don't even jack the car up or take the tire off the car. They just repair it while you're sitting there in the car. When we pulled into the shop I figured we'd get out and go through the routine. No, they just plugged it while we were still all in the car.
