Turtle Wax 53144 Wet & Black Car Trim & Tyre Gel All In One 300ml

Product Information

A proprietary blend of silicones and solvents ensures that the deep rich shine lasts for weeks in the harshest of weather conditions It has its place, without doubt, but there are better products for use on your plastics and trims for very little more money. Longevity – 1 Week & 250 miles

This silicone-based tyre shine leaves a wet-look gloss that lasted a good few days, if not as long as some of our others. It’s of the ‘spray and leave’ school of application but doesn’t drip as much as some others and is easy to apply neatly. It did a good job of restoring the depth of colour to some faded trim when we applied it using a microfibre, too. Good all-rounder, but not the best value option.Clean tyres stay shiny for longer, wash and dry both wheels and tyres first using Turtle Wax REDLINE Wheel Cleaner

As I stated earlier, I added two coats to all tyres and used about 25ml of product. I felt this was a lot, but you lose some given how runny it is. As much as I tried, it was inevitable. This is silicon-based product that you spray on and leave to cure. It leaves a really high shine on tyres and also did a fine job of restoring depth of colour to our faded plastic trim. It lasted best of all of our products, although we wouldn’t say that it lived up to the claims of it providing eight to 12 weeks of shine. Even so, it’s excellent stuff if a bit expensive.You could reduce this again by applying just a single coat. Aesthetically I don’t think the product changes much from coat one to coat two, but I think you will see a difference in terms of longevity, which is why I recommend two coats. If you wash your vehicle once a week or more, you could get away with one coat. Tyre Sling Wash and dry your vehicle tyres. Make sure to remove all grease, previously applied dressings and any browning on the sidewall, using a tyre-specific cleaner if required Clean tyres stay shiny for longer. Turtle Wax recommends cleaning the entire wheel and tyre using it's RedLine Wheel Cleaner. Ensure that the tyre and wheel is completely dry before moving to the next step
