Further to my previous review of Carplan Tyre Shine Foam, I thought a follow up review was in order, backed up by some actual pictures. I washed my car a couple of days back and with the rest of the car looking so shiny the dull Achilles ATR Sport tyres, that almost have brown marks on them (road grime) needed a freshen up. Now living in the UK staying on top of car detailing is hard enough without worrying about your tyres but Carplan Tyre Shine Foam is so easy to use it’s hard to find a good reason not to apply it. In addition to making your tyres look like new it also helps maintain them, preventing things such as premature cracking (and who wants that). Ok - step 1:
Making sure to wash your wheels and tyres first, take the can and spray the tyre wall. Hold the can about 5 inches from the tyre and apply the foam almost as if you're painting the tyre with a spray paint can. Soon your tyre will have a white rim and look like a tyre from an old Ford Model T (unusual look as it may be…).
Step 2:
Leave the foam to dissolve on the tyre, the white foam soon turns into a liquid and starts to run off the tyre. The can says that it can stain drive ways so might be a good idea to do it on the road (Hey we pay our road taxes right?)
Step 3:
After leaving the foam to do its thing for around 10 minutes, take an old cloth (I find an old Kent microfibre towel does the trick) and wipe off any excess, revealing your new back to black tyres.
I normally run a damp cloth over my alloy wheels just to make sure there’s no chemical residue, albeit the can says nothing about this.
Carplan Tyre Shine Foam really is a great product and at the price makes it hard to want to use anything else.
