Take the depth and darkness of your sidewalls to another dimension with Chemical Guys Galactic Black Wet Look Tyre Shine Dressing. Faded, chalky, and brown-stained tyres can spoil the look of an otherwise spotless detail. Galactic Black is formulated with advanced resin technology and water-resistant polymers to penetrate deep into porous rubber, restoring a jet-black, dripping-wet shine that locks out moisture, road grime, and harsh weather through rainstorms and multiple car washes.
Engineered with a premium, long-lasting oil-based formula, Galactic Black rejuvenates dry rubber and exterior black plastics while delivering a dry-to-the-touch finish. When applied properly, it bonds directly to the tyre surface to prevent messy tire sling along your freshly cleaned fenders and rocker panels. Broad-spectrum UV blockers guard against sun fading, rubber browning (blooming), and sidewall cracking, while versatile layering capabilities allow you to dial in your preferred look - from a crisp, clean satin finish to an ultra-high-gloss, show-stopping wet shine.
Key Features:
- Ultra-Deep Galactic Black Finish: Transforms faded, grey, and oxidized tyres into an intense, pitch-black wet shine with mirror-like reflection.
- Enhanced Resin & Polymer Matrix: Water-resistant synthetic polymers lock onto rubber to deliver extended durability through inclement weather and road washings.
- Zero Messy Tyre Sling: Specially formulated to dry to the touch, preventing oily sling-off against painted fenders and quarter panels.
- Full UV & Anti-Cracking Defense: Shields rubber from sun degradation, ozone damage, and premature dry-rot cracking.
- Customizable Level of Shine: Layer multiple coats for an ultra-high wet gloss, or lightly buff after application for a clean, factory-fresh satin look.
- Versatile Exterior Utility: Safe and effective on tyres, black rubber bumpers, exterior plastic trim, mud flaps, and bed liners.
How to Use for Best Results:
- Clean & Prep: Deep-clean tyres thoroughly with a dedicated tyre cleaner or all-purpose degreaser and a stiff brush to strip old dressings, road grime, and browning. Ensure the surface is 100% dry before application.
- Apply Dressing: Shake bottle well. Spray Galactic Black directly onto a premium foam or microfiber tyre contour applicator pad (or mist lightly directly onto the tyre sidewall, avoiding wheel faces and tread contact patches).
- Spread Evenly: Work the dressing thoroughly into the tyre sidewall grooves, lettering, and texture using overlapping passes.
- Choose Your Shine:
- For Ultra-High Wet Gloss: Allow the product to dwell and penetrate for 5 to 10 minutes. Apply an optional second coat for extreme depth.
- For Medium / OEM Satin Shine: Buff away any excess product immediately using a clean, dry microfiber towel.
- Cure: Allow 10 to 15 minutes of dry time before driving to ensure complete bonding and prevent sling.
Pro Detailing Tip: Never apply tyre shine directly to tyre treads, motorcycle tyres, or bicycle tyres! Keeping dressings strictly on the outer sidewall ensures zero loss of road traction or braking safety.
