Anyone Use Baby Oil as Tire Dressing?
So yeah me and the wife like to have fun with baby oil from time to time and I like the way it shines. j/k
Then it hit me. I wonder how it would look on my tires and how long would it last?
Has anyone tried this?

Lastly, I think products designed especially for tires are the better choice. There is no way of knowing how long term use of oil will effect the tire and it's safety. I suspect that most dedicated tire dressings are much cheaper than baby oil as well. I can't think of one good reason to use baby oil in the tires.

You are kidding, right ? Any petroleum based oil would have a negative effect on the life of a rubber product. They make all kinds of oily silicone based tire products that make tires shine, but I personally dont care for that look or maintenance that goes with it.
Tried dozens of these and have found best all around performance with Zaino Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss. Its not expensive for what you get, and does alot of good things for tires, and plastics including UV sunscreen protection. 2 coats of it and tires look great and it stays on longer than any other off the shelf brand I have tried.
Good luck with your project ! DanF

JK. This is a bad idea. Stick to a dedicated product for this.

I'd say stick to the recommended product...but don't overdo it either, you're likely to dry out the surface and can possibly make it more susceptible to cracks...plus some of them are really hard to clean once a lot of dirt got on them
