Default Dam, bought the wrong stuff

arghh, was at my local wholesale place yesterday to stock up on stuff that we sell at the carwash

microfibre cloths, air fresheners etc etc.

beginning of the summer i bought in a small case of spray on tyre dressing as a tester, and the thing were selling faster then i could get them in

last few months the wholesale place has not had any left, probably due to me buying all there stock

so I'm in there yesterday and i walk down the isle and i spy "tyre black aerosols"
woohoo, i think i have another month to shift some before the real bad weather, and there's 2 crates on the shelf so i buy them, same manufacturer as the old stuff i bought, but a different design on the can, so i assume its new stock.

how wrong i was, tested it on my own car, sprayed it on the tyres, foamed up fine, then melted to leave a wet look shine, fantastic, then the wet look shine evaporated in front of my eyes

read the back of the tin, its a tyre cleaner, not a tyre dressing, ARGHHGH

lesson is = always read the label

probably going to put these on eBay to get rid of them unless i can find a better use for them
