So does a tire shine product do anything other than add a slick-looking surface to the materials mentioned above? That depends upon the product. A high-quality tire shine won’t just add a wet look to your sidewalls. It will serve as a tire surface cleaner, imparting protective properties upon the rubber it touches, and leaving behind a glossy black finish.
When we say “protective properties,” we mean a tire cleaner with the ability to not only remove dirt, muddy water, brake dust, road grime, and a multitude of other unpleasant substances, but repel them as well. By preventing ground-level griminess from sticking to a car tire, you not only retain impeccable aesthetics, but a longevity rate that mirrors or surpasses the tire’s projected warranty. This translates to you not having to buy new tires as often, which in turn saves money.
Another danger to tires is sun damage caused by exposure to UV rays. While modern advancements in the development of tougher rubber and the use of synthetic compounds and plastic polymers has helped reduce tire rot, UV damage is still very much a threat. Tire shines help protect against UV ray damage and fading, and will help replenish the surface with oils in order to prevent cracks.
Finally, there’s the benefit of having an aesthetically pleasing tire, which oddly enough, is oftentimes more of a priority for car owners than cleaning and protection. Today, you will find that there is a wide array of available finishes to choose from, with everything from extreme shine, to satin and low gloss being up for grabs. Just note that many of these products come with a warning: The longer you allow a tire dressing to soak into the sidewall, the richer or shinier the finish.
