If you don't clean it straight away, the buildup of dirt on the surface of the tire will get thicker. Apart from being more difficult to clean, it turns out that this risks damaging the tire lining, you know.

You should also wash your car , especially the tires, regularly. After washing, the car tires can be brushed with polish to make the results even shinier and rougher.

But don't just use polish, it turns out there are other methods that can be used to make car tires shine and rough again , you know. The method was demonstrated by YouTube user Impromptu mechanic. In his video upload, this netizen replaces car tire polish with simple ingredients, some of which are from the kitchen.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube, an impromptu mechanic on Saturday (27/4), first prepared a car tire cleaning solution. Pour 900 ml of dishwashing soap into a used bottle. On the market, 900 ml dish washing soap is sold for around IDR 2,000.

After that, add cooking oil at a rate of 1/3 of dishwashing soap, which is 220 ml. On the market, glass packaged cooking oil is sold for around IDR 5,000. However, because it was only used a little, the money spent was around IDR 1,000.

Finally, put one sachet of fabric softener into the bottle. The price of one sachet of this fabric softener is only IDR 500. So the total that needs to be spent to buy car tire cleaning materials is only IDR 5,000. Cheap, right?

Apply the cleaning solution that has been made to the entire surface of the car tire. To make it more even, this netizen smeared the car tires using a large brush.

"This is the foam that will sink in and lift the dirt on the surface of the car," he said.

After leaving it for a few minutes, the foam seemed to disappear from the surface of the car tire. Just wipe and dry the surface of the car using a chamois or a clean cloth.

"The result is that the car tires are immediately black and shiny again," he explained.

Caring for car tires properly can extend their service life and improve their performance. Here are some tips for caring for car tires so they last longer.

1. Correct the air pressure.

Make sure to check tire air pressure regularly according to the car manufacturer's recommendations. Improper air pressure can cause uneven wear on the tires and potentially increase fuel consumption.

2. Check for wear periodically.

Perform a visual inspection of the tire surface to ensure there are no signs of uneven wear, scratches, or other damage. If a problem is found, repair or replace it immediately.

3. Check and rotate tires regularly.

Rotate tires every few thousand miles or as recommended by the car manufacturer. Tire rotation can help even out tire wear and extend their service life.

4. Maintain balance and porosity.

Make sure to check tire balance and porosity regularly. Unbalanced or punctured tires can cause discomfort while driving and increase the risk of accidents.

5. Avoid overload.

Do not exceed the maximum allowable load on the tires. Excessive load can cause faster wear and reduce tire performance.

By applying the tips above, you can take good care of your car tires and extend their service life and improve their performance, so you can drive more safely and comfortably.
