Product Information

Full details

CarPlan No.1 Super Slik Tyre Shine is designed for car enthusiasts who want to restore the deep, showroom-quality black finish of their vehicle's tyres. Its standout benefit is the combination of black pigment and a hydrophobic barrier that repels water and dirt while protecting against UV-induced aging. However, users should be aware that as a pigment-based product, careful application is required to avoid contact with non-tyre surfaces, as the dark gel can stain porous materials.

FAQs

Can I use this on tyres with raised white lettering?

No, because this product contains black pigment, it will discolour white lettering. It is strictly for black sidewalls.

How long does the shine last?

The duration depends on weather and road conditions, but the hydrophobic layer typically lasts for several weeks and protects against UV degradation.

Do I need to wash my tyres before using this?

Yes, for optimal bonding and longevity, the surface should be free of old dressing, road film, and brake dust.

Will this make my tyres slippery?

It is designed for the sidewall only. Avoid getting any product on the tyre tread or brake components as it can cause a loss of traction.

Is the black pigment permanent?

The pigment is designed to enhance the look of the rubber, but it can be removed with a strong tyre cleaner or degreaser if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Product is staining my alloy wheels.

Use a masking tape to cover the rim edges before application or apply the gel to the applicator sponge away from the wheel and wipe gently.

The tyre looks streaky after application.

Ensure the tyre was completely dry before application and use a sponge to level out the gel, then buff with a cloth to ensure an even distribution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly enhances tyre depth of colour with black pigment
  • Hydrophobic properties keep tyres cleaner for longer
  • Gel consistency prevents messy sling-off onto paintwork
  • Effective at rejuvenating older, sun-faded tyres
  • Easy to apply with a foam applicator

Cons

  • Pigment can stain skin, clothing, and light-coloured driveway surfaces
  • Requires careful application to avoid contact with wheel rims
  • Excessive application may lead to a greasy surface if not buffed
  • Does not dry to a completely tack-free finish immediately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This product is intended specifically for rubber tyre sidewalls. To maintain the finish, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ensuring the cap is tightly closed to prevent the gel from thickening or drying out.

  • Avoid Paint Contact: If the product touches your vehicle's paintwork or alloy wheels, wipe it off immediately with a clean microfiber cloth or a mild cleaner to prevent potential staining from the black pigment.
  • Avoid Brake Components: Ensure no product contacts the tyre tread or brake discs, as this can create a slippery and dangerous surface.
  • Tool Maintenance: Rinse your foam applicators with warm water and mild soap after use to prevent the gel from hardening in the foam pores.
