A specific type of automotive detailing product designed to enhance the appearance of tires by imparting a glossy, often wet-looking sheen, while frequently containing a blue pigment. This product is applied to cleaned tire sidewalls to create a visual contrast and improve the overall aesthetic of the vehicle. For example, after washing a car, this product might be used as a final touch to make the tires look newer and more appealing.
The application of such products serves to improve a vehicle’s perceived value and demonstrate meticulous maintenance. Beyond aesthetics, some formulations may offer a degree of UV protection, potentially mitigating the effects of sunlight on the tire’s rubber. Historically, detailing practices have evolved to include a wider range of specialized products aimed at enhancing and preserving different vehicle components, with tire enhancement being a significant aspect.
