CARPRO ReTyre Tire & Rubber Cleaner — 1 L (34 fl oz), Concentrated Foaming High‑pH Cleaner

CARPRO ReTyre is a concentrated foaming tire and rubber cleaner that removes old dressings, road film, and browning to restore a fresh, clean tire surface.

Designed specifically for tires and other rubber components, CARPRO ReTyre uses a high pH foam formula and targeted agitation to lift embedded contaminants from rubber pores. The result is a visibly cleaner tire that accepts topcoats, dressings, and sealants more evenly and durably. ReTyre is intended as a preparatory step before applying products like CQUARTZ BlackOut, Perl, or your preferred tire dressing.

How does ReTyre remove road film and old dressings?

ReTyre combines alkaline chemistry with a thick foaming action that clings to sidewalls and tread. The foam loosens and encapsulates oils, silicone dressings, and brown antioxidants so they can be rinsed away without excessive scrubbing. Mechanical agitation with a brush accelerates the process for stubborn build-up.

• High pH formula breaks down oils and silicone residues
• Foaming texture holds cleaner on vertical surfaces for better contact time
• Agitation pulls contaminants from rubber pores for deeper cleaning

Will using ReTyre improve how dressings and sealants bond?

Yes — a contaminant-free surface improves adhesion and uniform appearance of tire coatings. Clean rubber allows products like BlackOut or Perl to form a more consistent film and reduces premature sling or uneven shine. For ceramic-based or durable sealants, a thoroughly cleaned tire is essential for optimal performance.

• Prepares surface for better bonding of dressings and sealants
• Reduces risk of dressing sling and patchy coverage
• Recommended prior to applying CQUARTZ BlackOut for full bond

How do I apply ReTyre for best results?

Spray or apply ReTyre onto dry or slightly damp tires, allow the foam to dwell briefly, then agitate with a tire brush before rinsing. Use a controlled foam application to avoid overspray on painted or plastic trim. For heavy contamination, repeat the process or let foam dwell a little longer while monitoring surface reaction.

• Apply evenly and let foam cling for optimal dwell time
• Agitate with a brush to extract embedded grime
• Rinse thoroughly and dry before sealing or dressing

Is ReTyre safe for other rubber and nearby surfaces?

ReTyre’s foaming design helps you keep product on rubber and off sensitive finishes, but it is alkaline and best used with care around painted trim and plastics. Rinse immediately if it contacts paintwork. Always test on an inconspicuous rubber area if you are unsure about compatibility.

• Foam allows controlled placement on tires and rubber parts
• Avoid prolonged contact with unprotected paint or delicate plastics
• Rinse thoroughly if product touches unintended surfaces

Who is this for: CARPRO ReTyre is aimed at professional detailers, enthusiasts, and DIYers who want a deep, preparatory tire clean before applying high-performance dressings or sealants. If you maintain show cars, daily drivers, or vehicles that need long-lasting tire coatings, ReTyre gives a cleaner surface and better final results. It’s particularly useful for anyone using ceramic or polymer-based tire coatings that require a completely clean substrate.
