What is tyre dressing for?
Many believe that tyre dressing is mainly cosmetic in purpose – it gives tyres a black gloss, making them look like new. This function is certainly important for a tyre dressing, but its purpose is not limited to appearance alone. Much more important is that tyre dressing performs a protective function. The point is that rubber ages and breaks down under the action of sunlight, atmospheric oxygen and aggressive road chemicals. A quality tyre dressing containing silicone creates a protective film on the rubber surface, fills the microcracks and defects that have appeared and considerably slows the ageing of the rubber. Moreover, it can be used to protect not only rubber but also plastic.
