Hey guys ChrisFix here. After you clean your car your tires have a dark, shiny,
wet look that completes the look of a freshly cleaned car. After the car dries
the tire will turn gray
but wouldn't it be nice to keep it looking deep black like this?
Well actually what you see here is a new product, by Turtle Wax, called jet black
black edura-shine tire coating and in this video I'm going to show you how to
use it and give you my honest product review of it.
I got this from turtle wax themselves as part of their new line of products the
jet black line.
This uses a black tinted acrylic coating compared to a silicon-based coating that
you find in most tire shine products.
The one thing that surprised me the most is on the box where it says the tire
shine will last up to a year. That's unheard of.
I can't wait a whole year to publish this video, but I'll keep a monthly
update in the description below of how the tire product is holding up.
Just for a reference, a typical tire shine last about two months, so a whole year is amazing.
So, in the box we have our foam applicator pad,
we have our tire cleaner,
which will help you get your tires clean so that you can apply the tire shine.
We have endura-shine tire coat, and we have some gloves because this stuff will
stain your skin.
I should also mention where this tire shine is actually made. It's made in the United
States of America which is great. So, let's go try this stuff out.
We're going to be working on the front tire here. Some things that you'll need
that are not in the kit are a water source, in this case a hose but you could use a
spray bottle. Some type of brush or sponge to rub in the tire cleaning spray,
and a towel to clean off any endura-shine product you get on the rim or a white
surface such as the letters or a whitewall. And I should mention you want
to apply this product when the temperature is from 55 to 85 degrees
Fahrenheit. So let's begin.
So the first step is to use this jet black tire cleaner, which is actually
really good stuff.
You're going to spray it on the tire to cover it completely.
And you're gonna let this stuff soak in the tire for about 15 seconds. After it soaks in you're going
to get your sponge,
I like using the rough end because it agitates it really good, and you're gonna
rub in the cleaning spray.
And when this turns brown that means that you're doing a good job and getting
all that dirt out.
This stuff works great, I just cleaned my truck, and these tires
are brand new, yet the cleaner got a lot of dirt off the tire. Now you're gonna want to spray it
down with the hose.
Make sure you get that stuff off your rim as well.
Now we're going to let this dry.
I'm gonna let it air dry but if you want to expedite the drying process you could
use a towel.
Once dry, we're going to apply the jet black and dura-shine tire coat.
Okay, our tire is nice and dry, now we're going to take our applicator pad, using the
grooved side, and pour the tire coat on it.
And now we just wipe it on.
When you go near the white walls, or the white letters in this case, or your rim, you
want to be careful not to get this stuff on it. If you do get the endura-shine on it
get a damp, soapy towel right away and rub it off. It says on the box you have 30
minutes to get it off, but it's really tough to get off after it sits, so I try
to get it off right away.
Looks good. After you apply it, let dry for 10 minutes and make a decision if you
want to add another layer to make it darker.
So after 10 minutes of drying it looks really good with just one coat.
If you have an older tire, maybe you'll need another coat, but this looks really good.
I used maybe about five to ten percent of this bottle to do four truck tires to give
you an idea of how much I used. And remember these are large tires.
I'm gonna drive around for a week and let you know how it holds up.
After a few hundred miles, some offroading, two rain storms and after cleaning my truck
this stuff is holding up really good. Remember, since I can't wait a whole year
to publish this video, in the description will be a monthly update on how dark
and shiny my tires are, so you'll know how well this stuff performs in the long run.
Now let's go over some pros and cons. For the pros: it's easy to apply, it looks
great with a deep black shine,
there's no tire sling. And from what I could tell so far,
and from what the box says, it lasts a really long time. Way longer than a
typical tire shine. For the cons: the tire coat will stain anything that it gets on
including your hands and clothes, and if it gets on the rim, or a white lettering,
or a whitewall of the tire,
it can be hard to get off if you don't clean it off quickly. But you wanna know what? Those
cons are kind of what makes this product a good product because it really sticks
to that tire
and it's really tough to come off. As a final thought I would definitely recommend
this product to a friend. And this is my new favorite tire shine so I'll be using
this in the future. Hopefully this video is helpful, if it was remember to
