What is Tire Dressing?
Tire dressing is a product applied to tires to make them look shiny, clean and new. Detailing shops and car enthusiasts use tire dressing regularly, though criticisms have arisen charging that some types of tire dressing actually damage tires in the long run. There are many different formulas of tire dressing and two major categories: solvent-based and water-based. All dressings used to be solvent-based. Solvent-based products are clear, sometimes blue tinted, and sticky. They are popular with people who want a high-gloss or wet look to the tire. Most tire dressing products on the shelf at your local auto parts store will be solvent-based. These products are not environmentally friendly and can be difficult to work with because of their stickiness.
