Overview
A water-based, non-greasy dressing for vinyl, rubber, trim and tires that dries to a satin finish rather than a wet, glossy sheen. Suits detailers who want interior and exterior surfaces refreshed without the sling or dust-attracting residue of oil-based dressings.
The main selling point is the dry-to-the-touch finish: because it is water-based rather than oil-based, it does not leave the greasy film that attracts road dust back onto tires and trim within days. It is also positioned as a dual-use product, so the same bottle covers dashboards and door panels inside the car and bumpers and tires outside.
- Safe on dashboards, door panels, bumpers and weatherstripping
- Satin finish, not a wet gloss look
- Works across cars, trucks, motorcycles and RVs
- Applies by spray or foam applicator for quick jobs
Who it's for
Works for anyone maintaining faded plastic, rubber or vinyl trim on a car, truck, motorcycle or RV who wants a dry finish rather than a glossy one. Less suited to someone who specifically wants a deep, wet-look tire shine, since this dries to a natural satin look by design.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Non-greasy, dry-to-the-touch finish
- One product covers interior trim and exterior tires
- Water-based formula resists dust buildup
- Restores color and depth to faded surfaces
- Satin finish rather than a deep, wet-look tire shine
- Only a 16 oz bottle size listed
Performance notes
The water-based formula spreads and wipes clean with a microfiber towel or foam applicator, then dries to a satin finish that does not stay tacky. Because it dries clean rather than staying wet, it does not attract the dust and dirt that oil-based tire and trim sprays tend to pick up within a day or two of application.
