TUF SHINE has taken a different approach to tire dressings!

  • Perfect for autos, trucks, cycles, RV's, trailers, ATV's and more
  • Permanent protection that is easy to maintain
  • Tires will not brown or discolor


TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is a revolutionary formula that promises to outperform other tire dressings. The water-based formula contains no silicones or oils, and provides a shine that will last for several months. TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat dries to the touch in just seconds and will not crack. If are tired of using “run of the mill” tire dressings that leave an oily, sticky residue and attract dust and dirt, then TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is the tire protection product for you.

TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is a permanent protective coating for your tires. It seals the rubber and keeps the factory lubricants from escaping. TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat has anti-static properties that repel dust, dirt and water. The superior UV and ozone protection it provides adds to the longevity of the sidewalls.

TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat will coat and seal whitewalls and raised white lettering to keep them looking bright and white. This remarkable tire finish will not "brown," there is no "spin-off" or residue of any kind, and it will withstand repeated pressure washings. Perfect for rubber floor mats as well. With TUF SHINE, you control the shine; apply more coats for a more intense shine.

For best results, clean tires with TUF SHINE Tire Cleaner before applying TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat. Failure to properly clean the tires will result in adhesion failure. You only need to clean the tires once with TUFF SHINE Tire Cleaner. Once you apply Tire Clearcoat your rubber will be sealed and will clean easily with regular soap and water or with a pressure washer.

Application Instructions:

  1. Shake contents.
  2. Tire must be cool and dry. DO NOT APPLY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OR IN COLD TEMPERATURES BELOW 5O DEGREES.
  3. Squirt a small amount onto the applicator sponge.
  4. Apply to whitewalls and raised letters first. Allow 5 or more minutes for the first coat to dry, which will seal the white areas.
  5. Apply a thin even coat to the rest of the tire following the circular pattern of the tire. Slight milky buildup is OK, smooth any runs. The tire shine will dry clear. If any black residue is drawn onto white areas, wipe off immediately with a clean damp towel. Allow to dry between coats. Liberal applications for 2nd and 3rd coats will enhance tire shine.
  6. TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is permanent, unlike other tire shine products. Wipe any residue from wheels and/or painted surfaces before it dries. Apply additional coats for increased tire shine. 3 to 4 coats will bring out the maximum shine. Touch up scuffmarks and nicks to restore the tire shine and keep that new look.
  7. Rinse the applicator sponge with water for future use.
  8. Care for the tire as you would the paint. To prolong the finish, use clear water and a soft brush or mild soap and water for heavier dirt and mud. Avoid using heavy chemical cleaners as they will dull the tire shine finish. Re-apply TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat as needed to maintain tire shine.
 
Great video Todd. I love the look of 3 coats of the tire dressing. I found that one 1 coat left a very clean matte finish.
 
The product looks amazing and long lasting. Thanks for your review, Todd. I always look forward to them. I am not sure of getting this product however. Call me crazy but I actually enjoy cleaning and dressing my tires every week when I wash my car. It takes me around 30-45 minutes to clean and dress them but I absolutely love it. Getting this product would sure save me time and money in the long run but I won't get much joy. I know, I'm weird. Lol

Not at all. For this exact reason, some people don't apply opticoat. Some people like to try different waxes and sealants. I, on the other hand, applied opticoat though lol.
 
Ive had this on my car for a week, it rained for 2 days, tire looks exactly the same as it did a week ago when I applied 3 coats. Amazing! Never had a tire dressing hold up like this.

Has anyone tried this on trim?

I will be applying this and BLACK RESTORE to trim shortly.
 
I'm sure the rental car company will be very pleased with how their Mazda 6 looks after Todd returns it. :lmfao

Great video Todd! :yourrock

Looking forward to that. I was tempted to test it out but didnt want to really be testing products before winter. Just applied UTTG+ to all my trim.

I would think it would work well. If it can hold up that well on tires that flex then trim should be no problem. The only problem I see is you will most likely have to do at least 2 coats. 1 coat on tires was fairly splotchy for me, I had to do 2 to even it out, and 3 to get the shine I like.

Todd et all, did anyone test this on trim yet? Ive had it on my tires for about a month now and Im really impressed. It looks just about as good as the day I applied it. Last through all the rain, even super storm Sandy rain and driving. Even on my raised white letters it has kept them clean. All I had to do was wash with car soap and done! Awesome!

I used the Black Trim Restorer and topped with Tire Clear Coat and the results have been outstanding!
 
Nice video Todd and TUF-SHINE looks like a great product! :bigups

As many of you have come to realize, I've been detailing cars and trucks for well over 30 years. While autobody and paint work was considered the lions share of my work, polishing and detailing were sort of considered a byproduct in the body business however an important one.

Cleaning and detailing the car was the last step and once complete was what the customer would see so as I said an important one.

I've always liked detailing. Detailing to be is relaxing and also exercise. Spending 6 to 8 hours cleaning and polishing a car is hard work. I detail now more for pleasure but an "occasional" job brings in some funds which isn't a bad thing.

In theory, I like the idea of these new "nano" or permanent products however if I sealed everything up with these new costings I'd have little more to look forward to than washing...

I like to experimant with detailing products, try out new ones, us tried and trued products and most of all, step back and take in my accomplishment at the end of the day....

I like detailing......:bigups
