i didnt catch this in the article, but my tires are getting purpleish, the colors weird i got some spray thing i dont think it was hardcore like in the article where they say use to oil based stuff and whatnot, i think what i have is just for shine, because thats all it did
what do i do, just protect it from getting worse?

where is it getting purple? like on the sidewalls or the traction part? try some armour-all tire shine / protector. i've used it on my dads car and mines. brings the worn looking tire to about new condition (appearance wise lol)

just a tip. for that perfect look dont hold out on expenses. pinching pennies sounds good but is not always the best way to go around car care products.

nice post, generally it hurts to buy all the cleaning stuff at once, @ around 10-15 each product it adds up fast, but its lasts awhile I find.
