Optimum Tire Shine is a water-based, solvent-free, and VOC free formula
that provides great shine to tires and vinyl surfaces. While Optimum Tire Shine
can be easily sprayed, it has great cling to keep it on the tires. When applied
properly, it provides great gloss for tires that lasts a few weeks with no slinging
issues.
Tire manufacturers recommend against solvent-based tire dressings since solvents
can penetrate the tire and leach out and remove its protective UV and ozone
components. This will cause yellowing and premature cracking and failure of
tires according to the tire manufacturers. Optimum Tire Shine has no chemical
solvents and therefore will not cause damage to the tires. Furthermore, Optimum
Tire Shine contains the same UV and Ozone protectants that are used in the manufacturing
of tires for additional protection against the elements.
