Bright Wet Shine – Without the Greasy Mess

Tire Kicker from Chemical Guys is a sprayable, water-based dressing that adds a bright, wet-look shine to tyres, trim, rubber, and plastic — without leaving a greasy or slippery feel.

This is the perfect product if you love that fresh, glossy look you saw on the showroom floor. Whether you're doing a quick detail before a car meet or just want your daily driver to look newer, Tire Kicker delivers instant shine, UV protection, and a clean, black finish.

Why we like it:

• Water-based dressing for rubber, vinyl, and plastic

• Delivers a wet black shine without greasiness

• UV blockers help protect from fading and cracking

• Dries to the touch – doesn’t attract dirt or dust

• Quick and easy spray-on formula

• Use on tyres, trim, engine bays, and even interiors

What makes it different?

Tire Kicker is Chemical Guys' most beginner-friendly tire shine. It’s easy to apply, forgiving to use, and doesn’t sling or streak like some heavy silicone products. While it’s not as long-lasting as a coating, it’s a fantastic option for quick gloss that looks great and helps protect.

HOW TO USE:

1. Clean the surface first with an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser

2. Shake bottle well

3. Spray 2–5 times or apply a few drops to a foam applicator

4. Spread evenly across the surface

5. Buff off any excess with a microfiber towel

6. Wait 5–10 minutes before applying additional layers for extra gloss

For the best look and durability, always apply to clean, dry rubber or plastic.
