So simple a cave man can do it!

Just a little detailing trick I use...if you have some please share...
I love the look of NEW shiny tires, here is how I get it....
The secret tool.....a Gott trash can lid.

Take the lid and hold it over the lip on the wheel and spray on the Armour All Extreme... I really like this applicator...no wiping just spray it on!

You get white raised letters and new looking black tires

Nothing to wipe off rims or car fenders....no fuss, no muss....nice and clean.

I don't get it.......

Why would put forth all that effort to Armor All the edges of your garbage can lid then leave the center looking so bad?
