i used to work with this guy that used to swear that you can use coca-cola for tire dressing, i never used it because i didnt want bugs on my tires..:car
has anyone ever tried this?
also a guy that I work with now says that transmission fluid is the best on tires and trim, which does seem like a good idea
I`ve heard good things about using Coca-cola to clean chrome, but I wouldn`t use it on my truck b/c I`d have ants.Quote:

Transmission fluid would attract a LOT of dust.
Plus you would have all the Coke addicts licking your tires (HAHAHA)
You can find lots of good products intended for tires, trim and chrome. I think I will stick with them.
I think I even remember reading where someone used Coke to remove a stain on carpet. I`ll pass on that one, too.
I guess whatever works for you has to apply here.

They make plenty more than enough dressings and cleaners to not use coca cola and transmission fluid on your tires. Anything with petrolum products espacially like oil and tramission fluid etc isnt good for your tires and will turn them brown and cause then to crack.
I`ve heard of motor oil but never coca cola!! ? - we got fireants down here in the south - so I don`t think even I would try it (and I am like mikey I try everything)
I dont know about coke and trans fluid as tire dressing, but I do know that GOJO original hand cleaner will work as a tire dressing.
my customers prefer the sheen of diet coke its not as shiny:phone: :hah :lmfao
i use coke for cleaning my battery terminals:)
Coke has lots of uses, but I`d never use it on my tires. I`ve seen what soda on tires looks like. Blech...:hurl Besides, its a look that would wash off the first time you drove in the rain. And it would be sticky as hell. Very bad idea. I don`t know about using it to clean carpets either. I usually have products to remove stains made by Coke spills. I think we are more educated than to use household products on our cars. "Whatever works" is a rule that I do live by, but first I live by the rule of "use the right tool for the job". If that fails then I go for whatever works. :bigups
I prefer PEPSI.
I hear you can wash down a hot dog and chips with armor all!
Just as I was reading this post my wife pointed out some interesting details about coke that was in newsletter she had.
In case you are coke-addicted, this one`s for you!!!!!
For those of u who love Coke/Pepsi...
Just when you thought you knew everything....
To clean a toilet:
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let
the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous
china.
To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals;
Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt;
Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted
bolt for several minutes.
To bake a moist ham;
Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap
the ham in aluminium foil, and bake. Thirty minutes
before the ham is finished, remove the foil,
allowing the rippings to mix with the Coke for a
sumptuous brown gravy.
To remove grease from clothes;
Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes,
add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The
Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will
also clean road haze from your windshield.
AND WE DRINK THIS STUFF!
