Alright you guys got me going. I looked up the Michelin website and saw the big "don't use anything otherwise it will void the warranty" scare words. I also saw they had a link to their tire shine product (though water base of course) wonder if that would void the warranty also? :S
Anyways, went out to the truck and pulled out the bottle of Maguire's hot shine I use on a recommendation from a RV neighbor who was told by the RV detail guy to use (he washes and shines about 100 rigs per month.) Yes Maguire's says it has petroleum distillates, it also says it will extend the life of the tire, reduce checking, and will not turn a tire brown (never heard of that prior to this thread, learned something new thanks.)
So I guess if you buy the stuff at the dollar store (and paid the price of wrecked tires) you might have a valid case for using the big buck 303. Me I'm just buying a good brand name, at a fair price, that says it's good for the tire and will reduce checking and ozone damage. Seems to have been working so far.
