Question Clearcoat for tires !

Has anyone heard of or used this product I seen for sale on another site called:

TUF SHINE
The long lasting tire shine we have ever tested, lasts months if not years
Incredibly dark and glossy finish
Water based formula with anti-static properties that repel dust
Does not use any petroleum solvents, silicones or oils that can attract dust
Withstands several pressure washing treatments and can be washed with gentle cleaners

"Tired of getting days or weeks at most from your favorite tire dressing? Would you prefer it lasted months or even years? If yes, then the TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is the answer you have been looking for! This revolutionary new technology allows you to apply a coating to your tires that will leave them shinny and glossy year round. It is so strong it will withstand several pressure washings. The water based formula is completely safe and highly effective so even your tires will thank you. It does not use any petroleum solvents, silicones or oils that can attract dust, in fact the formula is anti-static which helps repel dust and dirt. To start applying this product you must first clean the tires. Spray the TUF SHINE Tire cleaner on your tires and thoroughly scrub them with the TUF SHINE Tire brush. When all the old tire dressing residue and contaminants from the road are removed you can move on to applying the Tire Clearcoat (see directions below). In short you apply a thin coating with the TUF SHINE applicator sponge. We recommend 1 - 2 coats but multiple coats will make the surface look even darker and glossier. The tires will look simply incredible upon completion, you will never even contemplate using another product. You will also get a lot of request from friends and family who wish their tires looked so good! So stop looking at old faded tires and love your tires again with the TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat."



This product seem's similuar to the CarPro PERL but they are claiming the product would last month's-YEARS!

Looking to see if anyone has actually used this product?

Re: Clearcoat for tires !

Interesting... seems that would be really tough to last that long on a tire with what a tire goes through in general.

I agree but the product is claimed to at least last a month(s)?
I will be giving it a try.

"Incredibly dark and glossy finish"

....the latter characteristic doesn't sound appealing to me.

I forgot about this stuff, someone tested it on another forum a year or two ago. IIRC it performed as advertised.

Re: Clearcoat for tires !

I'll buy a kit and put it to the ultimate test. Can it withstand going to the mud hole?

Re: Clearcoat for tires !

I have seen similar products at shows.The tires must be cleaned extremely well before applying the product and you are warned to not get any on the rim surface and if you do it must be cleaned off immediately. I will stick to my solvent based product it lasts and wipes clean from wheels and painted surfaces.

Re: Clearcoat for tires !

40 bucks...just ordered it to put it to the test, if it doesn't hold up to mud i'm sending it back for a full refund. The only tire dressing i've seen release mud well was UTTG.
