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.

FAQ
Why do tire manufacturers recommend against using solvent-based tire dressings?
Tires contain UV and ozone protectants that will continuously move to the surface as tire spins to keep tire from reacting with the elements and protect it from cracking. This process is referred to as “Churning”. Petroleum solvents used in most tire dressings will penetrate tires and leach out these protectants. This will cause loss of these protectants and premature cracking and failure of tires.
Other disadvantages of petroleum distillates are environmental concerns and health concerns. Optimum Tire Shine provides superior gloss and durability while being completely safe for the tires, the consumer, and the environment.
