Tyre Slick is Sierra's budget tyre shine for used car yards and dealerships, giving a satin, new tyre look, sold in 20L and 200L drums.
What it does
Sierra pitches Tyre Slick as its budget tyre shine. It leaves a satin finish that makes a tyre look new rather than wet, and Sierra rates its durability highly, saying a week between coats is normal. Over 90 per cent of the liquid is light aliphatic solvent naphtha, so it is clear, colourless, highly flammable and will not blend with water.
Where to use it
Sierra recommends it for used car yards and dealerships, and it fits any wash or detailing business dressing a lot of tyres each week. The 200L drum suits a yard that goes through product fast. For the rest of the dressings and glass care, see our tyre, glass and interior range.
How to use
- Set up outdoors or in a well ventilated bay with no ignition sources nearby, and earth the drum before decanting.
- Put on safety goggles and solvent resistant gloves.
- Decant into a clean, labelled applicator and dress clean tyre walls as the drum label directs. Sierra publishes no coverage rate.
- Close the drum straight away and return it to locked, cool storage.
Safe on / avoid
The safety sheet gives its use as an automotive tyre dressing. Keep it off skin, which it irritates and dries out, and keep runoff out of drains, as it is toxic to aquatic life. If overspray reaches plastic trim, check a small hidden area before dressing the rest. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
