What is a tire?
What makes Tire Dressing so special? Is the fact that it will restore the black rubber on the sides of your car that will fade after driving on them for a while? Is it the enhanced shine or does the sidewall look wet? Or is the magical chemical formula inside the product that gives your rubber tires a second chance at survival. Whatever your criteria, the result is the high gloss finish of premium tire coatings.
Most car owners may not be aware of this, but the best tire polish products will also protect the walls of your vehicle from harmful UV rays, prevent dry rotting, cracking, and make the rubber surface look like a wet ball tire. Weather you decide to apply them via microfiber cloth gel, or use ready-to-use tire spray, either on your own or going to a detailing shop, it's a pretty straightforward process.
Before you attempt to use a tire polish, it is important that you clean it first.
After washing or cleaning your tires with a good tire and wheel cleaner, you will wash them during a maintenance car wash, dry them, and then apply the tire spray. At that point, you will discard the residue and let it dry as recommended by the manufacturer.
How many compaction products will be offered in 2021?
Once upon a time, there was a certified king that everyone used - and his name was Armor All. It's a simple spray and wipe solution that creates a wet tire surface and requires no foaming or special handling. Just use a store-bought spray bottle, wipe clean - and you're done.
Today, there are many types of products that protect or polish tires. There's the bandage, then the wax, and finally the sealant.
The tape is mainly made of Solvent or Waterborne Formula and silicone will go into the tire to help protect the rubber from UV rays and repair the dried rubber. It was not made to remove dirt or brake dust; It is the cherry on the sundae after the tires have been cleaned.
Wax products have a longer lasting effect on your tires, think of it like the polish a musician would polish their brass instrument to give it a nice shine before performing. As you apply the wax, apply it to the tire wall, then wipe off the excess. Some wax products are known to come off tires and find traces on the paintwork of your vehicle - so be careful with these.
Adhesive products protect tires through a synthetic formula that fills in small holes caused by sun damage. It won't be as slippery as ice but is usually a superior UV blocker.
One misconception about these products is that they act as a tire or wheel cleaning product. That is just incorrect. Although they create a glossy, matte or satin look, they are still intended to protect your tires from the environmental stressors that everyday drivers will face while on the road.

• Tire damage or premature cracking may be caused by petroleum distillates which may be present in some formulations.
• The use of aerosol products may be sprayed onto your property, which may result in machine failure.
• Never apply to motorcycles. That can cause an accident very quickly.
Years ago, applying tire polishing was considered a great thing to do. It's the capper - or the cherry on the wheel that makes your bike stand out among friends - and road warriors.
