Chemical Guys Tire Kicker Extra Glossy Tire Shine — 1 Gallon Sprayable Tire & Trim Dressing, Wet-Look Protectant

This one-gallon, sprayable formula quickly revives faded rubber, vinyl, and plastic with a showroom-style shine while leaving a dry-to-the-touch, non-greasy surface. Designed for detailing convenience, it lays down a protective layer that helps resist fading, drying, and cracking from environmental exposure without sling or streaking. Ideal for both quick touch-ups and full detailing sessions, Tire Kicker balances high gloss with practical durability for exterior and interior surfaces.

How does Tire Kicker deliver a long-lasting glossy finish?

The formula combines shine-enhancing agents with protective polymers that cling to rubber and plastic surfaces, producing a deep gloss while helping slow UV and ozone damage. Application is simple and controlled by a lightweight spray design that minimizes overspray and sling.

• High-gloss polymers restore depth and wet-look reflections.
• Protective layer helps resist fading, drying, and cracking.
• Spray formula provides even coverage for fast application.
• Dries to the touch to reduce greasy transfer onto paintwork.

Which surfaces can I safely use this tire shine on?

Tire Kicker is formulated for a broad range of automotive and marine surfaces including tires, bumpers, weatherstripping, engine bay plastics, and interior vinyl. Its balanced chemistry reduces the risk of staining or damage typical of heavier, oil-based dressings, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

• Rubber tires — restores color and wet-look gloss.
• Exterior trim and bumpers — enhances appearance without slick residue.
• Interior vinyl and plastics — usable for dashboards and door trim where a subtle shine is desired.
• Engine bay plastics and seals — highlights components while resisting grime build-up.

What is the recommended way to apply for best results?

For efficient, consistent coverage, either spray directly onto the surface from a safe distance or spray onto a foam applicator and spread evenly. Wipe any excess with a microfiber towel to ensure a streak-free, uniform finish and prevent sling onto adjacent painted panels.

• Spray ~6–8 inches from the surface or onto an applicator pad.
• Spread evenly using a foam applicator or microfiber cloth.
• Wipe off excess to avoid sling and maintain a dry finish.
• Reapply lightly for higher gloss or after heavy weather exposure.

This product is formulated for car enthusiasts and professional detailers who want a fast, reliable way to restore and protect rubber and plastic surfaces. Whether prepping a show car, refreshing a daily driver, or maintaining fleet vehicles, Tire Kicker delivers a showroom-style look with minimal effort. Always follow label directions and test on a small area before full application.
