Well if you’ve been reading my reviews you’ll know I’ve
recently added a set of AEZ Raver alloy wheels to my car and some new Achilles
ATR Sport 17 inch tyres. Well it’s been raining a bit here recently and as a
result my new tyres have started to look a bit tired.
I guess what I mean by tired is that they're no longer the
brand new glossy black they were and instead have an almost brown tint to
them. Well after a quick look at the products available I was eventually swayed
towards Carplan Tyre Shine Foam. My decision was based on 2 main deciders, the
first was the price at around £2.50 a can its great value and the second was that I’ve
used and trust Carplan products.The foam is straight forward enough to use. Shake the can; hold it about 4 inches away from the tyre and spray. You only coat the outside tyre wall profile and be careful not to spray it onto the tread, as I guess it could make the grip slippery. Leave the foam on the tyre for about 10 minutes, then wipe of with an old microfibre cloth, or rag.
The results are I’m pleased to say new looking tyres and
they stay new looking for quite a while too. Another benefit
of using the Carplan Tyre Shine Foam is that it helps keep the tyre wall in
good condition, helping to prevent the tyre cracking.
There are other tyre shine products available that I will
try and review at some point, but for now the Carplan Tyre Shine Foam works
just fine for me.
