Tire & Trim Shine – 16oz

Description

Deep black, high‑gloss finish—without the sling.

Your grab‑and‑go bottle for quick, professional tire and trim results. This water‑based silicone emulsion lays down a rich, even shine on rubber, vinyl, and leather, works inside or out, and dries smooth in about 20 minutes so it won’t sling when applied correctly. Overspray wipes away easily thanks to its non‑greasy, non‑solvent formula, while UV guards help defend against fading and cracking.

Why detailers love it

• Water‑based silicone emulsion: High‑gloss look with easy cleanup.
• Sling‑free when dry: Dries to the touch in ~20 minutes when applied thin and evenly.
• Interior & exterior versatility: Tires, exterior plastics/trim, engine bay plastics, vinyl, and leather (see usage notes).
• Buildable shine: One coat = classy satin; two coats = wet‑look gloss.
• Non‑greasy feel: Leaves a clean, conditioned finish.
• Perfect working size: 16oz bottle is ideal for mobile or at‑home details; refill from the 1‑Gallon to save.

How to use

Always start on a clean, dry surface. If tires are browning, scrub with a dedicated tire cleaner and brush, rinse, and dry before dressing.

Tires (satin to wet‑look)

1. Apply a small amount to a foam tire applicator or microfiber applicator.
2. Work a thin, even coat around the sidewall. Avoid treads.
3. Level high spots with the applicator for a uniform look.
4. Allow ~20 minutes to dry. For more gloss, apply a second thin coat after the first has set.
5. Optional: For a satin finish, lightly buff with a clean microfiber after drying.

Exterior plastic & trim

1. Apply a small bead to an applicator.
2. Spread a thin, uniform film on clean, dry trim.
3. Wipe away any excess from adjacent paint or glass before it dries.

Interior vinyl & leather (low‑sheen preferred)

1. Apply sparingly to an applicator—do not spray directly on the surface.
2. Spread a light, even coat, then buff dry with a clean microfiber to reduce sheen.
3. Do not use on high‑touch or safety surfaces (steering wheel, pedals, shifter, seats where slickness is undesirable).

Pro tips

• Thin coats look better and last longer; avoid flooding the surface.
• Let the dressing fully dry before driving to prevent sling.
• For white‑letter or white‑wall tires, apply carefully and wipe edges to keep letters crisp.
• Reapply after heavy rain, repeated washes, or harsh conditions.

Safety & storage

• Keep off tire treads, brake rotors, and pedals—slip hazard.
• Avoid glass and clear gauge lenses.
• Store sealed, upright, in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing/extreme heat.
• Keep out of reach of children. For external automotive use only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is it water‑based or solvent‑based?
Water‑based silicone emulsion—easy to apply, easy to wipe from overspray, and gentle on most exterior and interior plastics when used as directed.

Will it sling?
Not when used correctly. Apply thin, even coats and let it dry ~20 minutes before driving.

Can I use it inside the cabin?
Yes on vinyl and leather when applied sparingly and buffed dry. Avoid steering wheels, pedals, shifters, and seats where slickness is unwanted.

How glossy is the finish?
One thin coat gives a satin look; a second thin coat builds to a high‑gloss, wet‑look.

Does it restore faded trim?
It darkens and enriches the appearance but is not a dye or permanent coating.

How long does a 16oz bottle last?
Typically 4–8 vehicles, depending on tire size, number of coats, and how much trim you dress.

Is it safe on engine bay plastics?
Yes—apply to clean, dry plastics and wipe off any excess.
