Product Information

Full details

The Chemical Guys Tire Kicker Extra Glossy Tire Shine is for car enthusiasts and detailers seeking a deep, wet-look shine for their tires, rubber, and plastic trim. Its key benefit is a showroom-ready finish that enhances the blackness of surfaces without a greasy residue. A potential caveat is that the high gloss may require more frequent application on heavily driven vehicles or in harsh conditions. This water-based formula provides a long-lasting, high-gloss finish, restores a like-new look to trim, and offers UV protection to prevent fading.

FAQs

How often should I apply Chemical Guys Tire Kicker?

Frequency depends on conditions, but typically every 2-4 weeks is recommended for maintaining an optimal shine. Wash tires regularly to prolong the dressing's life.

Can this product be used on interior plastic trim?

Yes, Chemical Guys Tire Kicker is safe for use on interior rubber and plastic trim, providing a refreshed look without a greasy feel.

Will this product make my tires slippery?

The formula is designed to be non-greasy. However, avoid applying to the tire tread and be mindful not to over-apply on sidewalls, as excessive product could potentially affect grip if transferred to the road surface.

Does Tire Kicker protect against UV damage?

Yes, the formula contains UV inhibitors that help protect tires, rubber, and plastic surfaces from harmful sun rays, preventing fading and cracking.

What is the best applicator to use with this product?

A foam applicator pad or a clean microfiber towel is recommended for applying the product evenly. A separate clean microfiber cloth should be used for buffing off excess.

Can I layer Tire Kicker for a deeper shine?

Yes, you can apply additional thin layers after 5-10 minutes to achieve a deeper, more intense high-gloss finish.

How long does the shine typically last?

The long-lasting results can vary based on environmental conditions, but users generally report a durable shine that withstands typical driving conditions for several weeks.

Troubleshooting

Product appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry before application. Buff off any excess product thoroughly with a clean microfiber cloth. Apply additional thin layers if a more uniform look is desired.

Tires look greasy or attract excessive dust.

You may have applied too much product. Buff off excess product more vigorously with a clean microfiber cloth. Ensure the product is fully dry before driving. Consider applying a thinner coat next time.

The shine does not last long.

Environmental factors like heavy rain, road grime, or excessive heat can reduce product longevity. Ensure proper surface preparation and consider applying an extra layer for increased durability. Regular cleaning will also help maintain the shine.

Product leaves white residue on plastic trim.

Ensure the product was properly buffed off the plastic trim. If residue remains, use a damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe it away. Avoid over-application on textured plastic.
