Tyre Dressing
Tyre dressing is a product applied to tyre sidewalls to give a dark, fresh look, either matte or glossy.
What is Tyre Dressing?
Water-based dressings give a more natural finish. Solvent-based dressings are glossier but can sling onto paint. It is applied after the tyre has been cleaned. Applying with an applicator pad gives a more even finish than spraying directly.
How it works
The product leaves a thin film on the rubber that darkens it.
Why it matters for your car
Keep dressing off the tread and brake parts. Wipe off excess to avoid spatter on the bodywork.
