The tires talked on numerous occasions and, of course, is not surprising, since it is one of the most important elements in driving, even considering that it is the only point of the vehicle in contact with the asphalt. A tire in poor condition  greatly increases the likelihood of an accident, something that increases in conditions of rain, snow or ice on the road. 

Many times we  do not give the tires the attention they need  and, beyond our safety and that of other road users, not carrying this element of the vehicle in good condition can lead us to have problems in the ITV and with the authorities . But many of us not only care about safety, but also the aesthetics of the vehicle, and we like that both the body and the tires

Probably on some occasion you have noticed that the tires of some vehicles shine in excess, especially those that are exposed in the dealerships or in the salons of the car, or even those of your own car when leaving a professional car wash. In addition, curiously it is a glow that lasts over time.

If you are one of those who have ever tried to achieve the same result, but the tires have not been as bright nor the formula has lasted long, today I bring you a simple homemade trick  that goes beyond those products in the form of Prayers that pray fulfill a brightening function.

What do I need to polish the tires?

Beyond the tire polishing products, there are many types and prices in specialized stores (some are better than others, but neither the cheapest is worse nor the most expensive is the best), today I will give you some tips so you can do it yourself at home. You know that from time to time we like to make you save some euros .

To make our tires bright we will need :

• Pure / concentrated glycerin : We can find it in pharmacies and its price varies depending on the quantity, but it is normal to vary between three and five euros.
• Distilled / osmotized water for dissolution with glycerin: A two-liter bottle will hardly cost us one euro. Eye, which can also be done with normal water, but it is recommended that the water be as pure as possible (without lime or chlorine) so that glycerin does not lose its properties and its effect is lengthened over time.
• Water sprayer : Available at any home store, it barely exceeds the cost of one euro.
• Sponge : Also in any home store, they cost less than one euro.For those who are more reluctant to put this type of product in the tires, you should know that glycerin is a moisturizer for any type of rubber . Moreover, it is also used for hands or skins and is not dangerous, since it is not oil or lubricant and, with plenty of water, can be removed.

 The objective is to apply it on the flank of the tire, which will not only give it a newer look, but also extend its duration, since being hydrated will take longer to appear cracked. In addition, it will give uniformity to the color of the rubber.

Steps to polish the tire

The first thing we should do before the entire polishing process is to have the vehicle clean, especially the tires and tires. Buffing the tires is the last process after all the cleaning of the vehicle, so once we have the car clean and the tires are completely dry and cold (we must not do it after having been rolling with the car), we will proceed to shine them .

Step 1: Make the mixture

With the car clean, we will proceed to make the mixture of distilled water and glycerin in the sprayer. We can really apply glycerin directly, but the differences in results are not particularly noticeable and so we will make the liquids last longer.

With a mixture in equal parts - half of water and half of glycerin - you will get great results and a duration of the liquid with a good price ratio, although if you do not want to take a risk you can make the mixture by pouring 1/3 of glycerin and 2/3 of water .

Step 2: impregnate the tire

Once we have made the mixture in the sprayer, we will proceed to spray amount of the best tire shine on the flank of the tire and a little on the sponge. Be careful with the amount you spend, because it spreads a lot.
