Cause browning
Lead to premature cracking
Always choose water-based or silicone-based tire shine.
Spraying too much:
Attracts dust and dirt
Can sling onto your paint

Apply lightly and wipe off excess with a microfiber cloth.
If dirt is left on:

Can damage rubber over time
Always clean tires first.
If it’s still wet:
It can sling onto body panels
Waste product
Let it dry for 10–15 minutes before driving.
Wash tires with soap/degreaser
Dry them
Apply shine evenly
Let it soak
Wipe excess with microfiber
Allow to dry before driving
This gives a clean, glossy, long-lasting finish without damage.
Wet tire shine isn’t bad — bad products and bad application are.
Used right, it actually protects and improves tire life.
