Short Summary

Key Points

  • The product uses a black-tinted acrylic coating, unlike the silicone-based coatings found in most tire shine products.
  • The box claims a durability of up to a year; the reviewer says he cannot verify that yet and is tracking it monthly.
  • Application is easy, gives a deep black shine, and the reviewer reports no tire sling.
  • After a week of driving, including offroading and two rainstorms, plus a truck wash, he reports the finish is holding up well.
  • The main drawbacks are staining (hands, clothing) and difficulty removing it from rims or whitewalls if not wiped off quickly.
  • The reviewer notes the product is made in the United States.

Details Worth Noting

  • Concrete instructions:
    • Check conditions first: apply only when the temperature is between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Gather extras not in the kit: a water source (hose or spray bottle), a brush or sponge (he used the rough side), and a towel for cleanup.
    • Wear the included gloves, since the coating stains skin.
    • Clean the tire: spray the Jet Black tire cleaner to fully cover the tire and let it soak about 15 seconds. Scrub with the sponge's rough side until the runoff turns brown, then rinse with the hose, including the rim.
    • Let the tire dry fully. Air drying is fine, or use a towel to speed it up.
    • Apply the coat: use the grooved side of the foam applicator pad, pour coating onto it, and wipe it onto the tire.
    • Avoid whitewalls, white lettering, and rims. If coating gets on them, immediately rub it off with a damp, soapy towel. The box gives 30 minutes, but the reviewer says it becomes hard to remove once it sits.
    • Let it dry 10 minutes, then decide whether a second coat is needed for a darker look. One coat looked good on newer tires; older tires may need two.
  • Quantity used: about five to ten percent of the bottle for four large truck tires.
  • Kit contents: foam applicator pad, Jet Black tire cleaner, Endura-Shine Tire Coat, and gloves.
  • Durability claims are the reviewer's experience so far, not verified; monthly updates are promised in the video description.
