Tire chemical?

So i hear there is a chemical that you can apply to your street tires to give you awesome grip when you launch...has anyone heard of it? Any reviews?

Yea im not sure, I have heard of tire soaking but im not sure if this is what the guy was referancing.. the guy that was telling me about it was one of those old guys you typically avoid because you don't want to hear 45 minutes worth of stories about how things used to be.

bleach does not make it have better traction HAHA. It makes it so the smoke you produce when you are doing a burn out is more white. that is what they spray on the ground during burn out contests and people who are drifting.
