Meg's Hot Shine Raising Tire Rubber?

[PandaSauce]

I've been using Optibond on my tires but wanted something in a spray to get in my sidewall tread easier than using a paint brush.

I got Meguairs Hot Shine Tire Spray and sprayed it on then rubbed it in with a foam tire dressing applicator.

It seems to have raised my rubber in the patterns that it dripped down in.

Is this normal or should I be worried?

I'd be willing to bet that the tires always looked like that but you didn't notice it until you put a real shiny dressing on there. If on the off chance something in the dressing did do that, I think it will go away once its had a little time to outgas.

I agree with Setec Astronomy.

Take a wheel off and look at the texture on the side of the tire (facing underneath the car) that didn't get treatment, maybe apply treatment and make sure there are no runs. See what is looks like.

After a bit of a tire fiasco, I've been keeping big a very close eye and I think I would have noticed. Plus they are all in a pouring down type pattern as the truck sits now after a wash which is too coincidental for me to believe.

Hopefully it goes away.

This is one I've not seen before. Interesting.

It seems to have significantly decreased

So this stuff is penetrating the porous rubber where it sits heavy on the surface (runs of product). Then you wipe the runs off. Then the absorbed product is migrating sideways causing swelling to even out the surface appearance. I've never seen a product do this. I guess to prevent this one would wipe the product off immediately so that there is an even distribution of product. I would think this would solve the problem.

This begs the question-- how long did the "runs" sit before you removed it? If less than a few seconds, that's remarkable.

That's what I'm thinking because this stuff did migrate really well.

I didn't leave it on long, but it was more than a few seconds.

I sprayed my front real fast, then my back, then wiped the front, then the back, then repeated on the other side. Probably 30-45 seconds each tire.

They are completely gone now.

I'm presuming you used the aerosol version of the product and what we are seeing is the solvents/propellant temporarily penetrating the rubber as Harpolith suggested. Well spotted and glad it's resolved.

It was the squeeze type sprayer.

Well, that product, according to the SDS, is 60-85% petroleum distillate, so I'd say there's your culprit.

Ouch! That's one I'll definitely not buy.
