FAQs
How do I prepare the tires before using the spray?
For optimal results, clean your tires thoroughly with a dedicated tire cleaner and water, then ensure they are completely dry before applying the Tyre Shine Restorer Spray.
Does this product damage my tires?
The formula is designed to enhance and restore tires without causing damage. However, always avoid spraying directly on the tire tread.
How long does the shine typically last?
The long-lasting wet-look shine can endure for several weeks, depending on driving conditions, weather, and cleaning frequency. Reapplication may be needed periodically.
Can I use this on new tires?
Yes, it can be used on new tires to give them an enhanced glossy appearance from the start.
What should I do if I get overspray on my car's paint?
If overspray occurs on paintwork, wipe it off immediately with a clean microfiber cloth, possibly dampened with a car wash solution or a mild degreaser, before it dries.
Is this product safe for all types of tires?
It is designed for standard rubber tire sidewalls. It is not recommended for use on motorcycle tires or tires with specific non-rubber finishes.
Do I need to buff the product in?
No, the product is designed to provide a brilliant shine without the need for rubbing or buffing.
Troubleshooting
Uneven shine or streaking
Ensure the tyre was clean and completely dry before application. Shake the can thoroughly. Apply in a more consistent, sweeping motion, maintaining the correct distance from the tyre.
Product slinging onto car bodywork
This usually happens if too much product is applied or if it hasn't dried sufficiently. Apply thinner coats and allow adequate drying time before driving. Ensure you are not spraying onto the tyre shoulder or sidewall where it meets the wheel.
Shine fades quickly
Ensure the tyre was properly cleaned of old dressings or contaminants. Reapply a second coat after the first has dried. Exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals or extreme weather can reduce longevity, requiring more frequent application.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides an immediate and impressive shine.
- Easy to apply with no manual buffing needed.
- Long-lasting finish enhances tire appearance for extended periods.
- Helps to restore the look of older, faded tires.
- Fast-drying formula prevents mess and pickup.
Cons
- Risk of overspray onto painted surfaces if not applied carefully.
- May require reapplication after several washes or heavy driving conditions.
- Effectiveness on extremely damaged tires may vary.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the tyre surface is clean and dry. Shake the can well before use. Hold the can upright approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from the tyre wall. Apply a thin, even coat. For a deeper shine, a second coat can be applied after the first has dried for a few minutes. Avoid spraying directly onto the tread area or onto brake components.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on rubber tyre walls. It is not intended for use on plastic trim or painted surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care: The product is fast-drying. Avoid washing the vehicle or driving through puddles for at least a few hours after application to allow the shine to fully set. To maintain the shine, reapply as needed, typically every few weeks depending on weather and usage.
