For homemade sauce liquid wrench yellow or pb blaster both work pretty good but if not careful can balloon the tires . I use Trackstar Gold and Black and they work great . use gold to brake in tires or to get them softer and black to maintain the tire once you get it where you want .

I like liquid wrench blue but it is the lubricating kinds so it drys slow, I normally wipe it off after 10 mins. I switch between it and Sticky Kicks orange that I actually watered down so I would get some more use out of the bottle, but you must shake it or you might get mostly water and no extra grip. Really the water is not recommended.

I actually read people were mixing Liquid Wrench blue with either Sticky Kicks or a faster drying spray like brake cleaner so that it will dry up, but who really knows except them?

Its all tire dope to me.. but honestly the reason I don't just stick with the cheap Liquid Wrench Blue is because the fumes it gives off even though I sprayed it into an applicator bottle.. I don't like to use it multiple times in the same day.
I don' know what sticky kicks is but I can use it multiple times on two cars in the same day and the smell/fumes do not bother me.. in no way does that mean it is any safer though.

If you want something super cheap and easy go WD-40, that is an old time favorite. People mix it with PB Blaster or brake cleaner or I think hairspray?

If you want my personal recommendation would be to order the bottle of sticky kicks Yellow, it is just one touch down from orange. Use a good applicator bottle so you do not waste any and it will last awhile.
Clean/dry tires then apply Sticky Kicks yellow 10 mins before your run. Should be good to go.

I'm actually kind of surprised this stuff gets sold without an MSDS sheet describing what's in the bottle to be aware of.
