Product application guide
Hermosa Tyre Shine
Here’s how to use Hermosa Tyre Shine. Check what you’ll need, then follow the preparation and application steps.
Use this guide with the product label and safety information. If the label differs from this page, the label takes precedence.
What you’re working towards
An even, controlled satin-to-gloss finish on clean tyre sidewalls without overspray or excess product.
What you need
- Hermosa Tyre Shine
- Waterproof gloves
- Dedicated sponge or tyre applicator
- Clean microfibre towel
Application
- Clean and dry the tyre. Remove old dressing and road contamination from the sidewall.
- Apply to the tool. Mist a small amount onto the sponge; do not spray directly onto the tyre or surrounding paint.
- Spread evenly. Work around the sidewall in controlled passes. Keep product off the tread, brakes and floor.
- Allow to dry and level. Remove excess with a clean towel. Add a second light application only after assessing aged or porous rubber.
When to pause
Remove immediately from tread, brake components, paint or the floor. Do not drive until the sidewall is dry and excess product has been removed.
Check the surface before you start
Identify the material and the problem you want to treat. Previous coatings, repairs, damage, temperature and application technique can all affect the result. Test a hidden area if you are unsure how the surface will respond.
These directions bring together Hermosa’s product and application guidance and available safety information. They do not mean every material or technique has been laboratory tested. Follow the current product label, SDS and vehicle or material manufacturer’s instructions if they differ from this guide.
Work on a cool surface, out of direct sun, in sections small enough to control. If a first pass does not give the result you expected, check the surface and your method before adding more product, increasing the concentration, rubbing harder or leaving it on longer.
Before you put the tools away
- Inspect the whole treated area in good light, from more than one angle. Check for an even finish and remove residue, overspray and excess product.
- Check visibility and grip wherever the treated surface could affect driving. Resolve any issue before using the car.
- Keep tools for wheels, paint, glass and interiors separate. Clean them after use and discard contaminated consumables.
- Follow the drying, curing and washing restrictions on the label and in the steps above.
- For an unusual material, note what you used and how it responded. It will help next time.
