My amateur Review of the Tuf Shine Tire Appearance Kit

Well I just got new tires put on my car and they needed to be cleaned and dressed! Why not a quick review/how to of the Tuf Shine Kit? I have had the kit for a while and used it before.

Here is a pic of the tire BEFORE anything was applied. Only about 60 miles or so on these tires! (NOTE: Please disregard the DIRTY wheels they get cleaned at the very end)




Here is Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner sprayed on and scrubbed with a Tire Brush. Notice the brown soap suds which lets me know they were fairly dirty for new tires and they needed to be scrubbed again.






Here I sprayed with the cleaner again and scrubbed down. Notice the difference in the soap suds, they are not brown but white. This let's me know the tire is clean.





I then washed/dried the car to let the tires dry. Here is a pic of the tire after it has dried, but NO Tire Sealant has been applied.



Here is a pic after the first coat of the Tire Sealant



Normally just one coat is good enough for me, but I added one more coat for just a bit more of a shiny look. It's not too noticeable, but here is the tire after two coats of the Tire Sealant.



One full car shot of it all done.





Over all, I would say I am a fan of the product. I will continue to use it as needed. Very easy to use, basically just spray...scrub the tires until clean....dry...apply tire sealant...done!

Let me know what you think!

Thanks a lot!

3 coats would be too much for me. 2 is pushing it a little, but I think I can live with it.

after seeing this review, I guess its time to finally go ahead and use my tough shine. I was a little weary after hearing about someone else having some issues with the Falken 452 tires, which is what I have. Maybe I'll give it a try this weekend.

Those Falkens may have a silicone compound mixed in. Not much adheres to silicone......

I had a customer call me on Friday wanting the TS kit overnighted to him in New York (which I accomodated). He called me saturday afternoon while detailing and said the stuff works as advertised, and he was really amazed at the wipe on, walk away, no sling, dry to the touch simplicity. I was really surprised to hear him say he was really stoked, being as he paid top dollar for it! Was like $63.00 delivered! But enthusiasts will do what they have to wont they!

This is what he had to say about Tuf Shine Tire Appearance products (kit).
"Hello Patrick, I just want to thank you, from the bottom and to the top of my heart. Your product Tuf Shine is the best product on the market. I purchased your product for my car and motorcycle and it dosen't sling off at all. The tires look so wet and shiney that, it doesn't look real, but it is real. I have taken my motorcycle to speeds that, I cant say online and again your product does not sling off at all. Thank you. I will never use anything else, but Tuf Shine." Ray K.

Any Tuf Shine Kit ordered this weekend (Sat-Sun) will receive an 8oz bottle of Optimum No Rinse Was and Shine, free with their order! This weekend only!

When I had my 18" wheels I had some issues with the Falken 452's but I was able to resolve it with a couple of extra cleanings.
