Tyre Polish & Exterior Protectants
Tyre polish for a glossy black finish or a non-oily one, rain repellent, ceramic-infused wax and windscreen rain repellent to protect the outside of the car.
Tyre polish: glossy or non-oily?
Tyres fade to grey as the rubber weathers in sun and rain. A tyre polish restores the black. Choose the finish you like:
- Tire Shine — a glossy, super-black finish for a just-detailed look.
- Drubber — non-oily and long-lasting, for tyres and also dashboards and trims.
Apply tyre polish with an applicator to clean, dry rubber, wipe off any excess and let it set before driving. Dressing a dirty tyre traps the grime under the shine, so clean the sidewall first with a degreaser such as ZAP Grease.
Glass and paint protection
- Rain repellent glass treatment — applied directly to a clean windscreen, so rain beads and runs off.
- CernaGlow — ceramic-infused paste wax for gloss, water beading and UV protection on paint.
- Leather Protect — a non-oily protectant for leather.

Does tyre polish damage tyres?
A water-based dressing does not harm rubber. Apply a thin, even coat and wipe away excess so it does not collect dust or fling onto the bodywork.
How long does tyre shine last?
It depends on weather and driving. Expect it to fade faster in rain and after washing; a fresh thin coat after each wash keeps tyres consistently black.
