BLAK - Semipermanent Rich Black Tire & Trim Treatment, Mid to High Shine, Muti Use, Floor Mat- RV- Golf Cart, Motorcycle-Safe, Acrylic Ceramic-Hybrid Protectant, Wash-Proof, 5 min Dry-Seal 8oz

Having used black tire dyes before, I liked the flat "new" tire finish but the dye did not last long enough and eventually turned the tire brown-ish. Despite costing much more, I liked the restorative polymer concept behind BLAK and the reports that it was not too shiny.For my first use, I removed the wheels from my car (I was rotating them anyway), washed and dried them thoroughly, then laid them over a plastic utility bucket, to raise them up and be able to turn them over and not scratch the finished side.My BLAK package included 2 block sponge applicators, 1 foam paint brush, and 2 nitrile gloves, which increased the value and allowed me to use the product without having to buy applicators.BLAK is really thin, almost like water, and I quickly learned to NOT squeeze the bottle. Instead, I allowed some BLAK to dribble out onto the sidewall and run around the rim. Using an included sponge block, I could then easily distribute the product. Two things to note: 1) shake the bottle before opening and in between coats and 2) do not over rub the product - just wipe on or distribute it then let it be.After applying 3 coats to both sides of 4 17-inch tires, I only used about 1.5 to 2 oz. With 3 coats, the tires were a little more shiny than I like but not too shiny. The shine eased a bit over a few weeks and looks really good, now.Having learned how little BLAK was actually needed, the cost turned out to be much less than the tire dye I had previously used and the finish is much more substantial. My car sits out in direct sunlight all day and the tires need good UV protection. BLAK also worked well on the rear bumper's rubber pad, after applying painters tape to protect the white bumper.I also contacted Renew Protect about some concerns and got actual replies from the owner! Now I have a better idea of what products to use for specific applications, how little product is needed per application, and how much longer the product will protect what it is applied to. I wish I had known about this company's products years ago, and not wasted so much money on inferior car care products.There is a bit of a learning curve to using the products but with a little practice and experience the results are outstanding. Having used polymer car care products for years, I'm glad that I finally found and tried BLAK, with RP.11 the next on my list to try. I think this company has the best polymers available to consumers.

You see a lot of gimmicks out there nowadays. It makes you question the legitimacy of almost everything you see and read. To be honest, I questioned this stuff and as soon as I placed the order I thought, these suckers got me.Thankfully, it wasn't a gimmick and it actually worked amazingly. Using it on tires was one thing that didn't make me wonder, but I used it on my wheel flares on the camper and on the running boards of our 2015 GMC... Dang! It legit turned back time. Both were extremely faded. The GMC was almost white it was so faded. The pics probably don't do it justice but made a huge difference. I did 2 coats and am very happy with the results. Strongly recommend!The biggest intimidator was how to apply it. From the manufacturers advice to all the YouTube how-to videos, it makes you rethink life. After several weeks of wanting to use it but not wanting to do it wrong, I finally just sent it. After a good cleaning, I just used the brush to apply it and the wet brush to wipe off areas I didn't want it. Pretty much that simple.I read somewhere that 1 kit will do a mid sized set of truck tires, so I got another kit with having a 1 ton. 1 kit did my truck, camper, and GMC running boards.

Easy to apply. Applied 2 coats. Nice luster. Appears to be quality, time will tell

The BEST tire shine products I have found for my 1967 Chevelle SS. It lasts forever, no sling, no drips, protects and shines as advertised!

Excellent product. Not glossy more of a natural color. I bought used tires and couldn't get them cleaned to look new. But this product works well. My used tires look brand new.

If you’re looking at this, you’re prob looking for a long lasting tire dressing. I am obsessed with my tire and have used many many brands. Everything from blackfire to carpro perl to cheap ones from Walmart.The first thing you need to know is this product is a black dye. Is it basically a black paint that you brush on your tire. If you are not careful in applying it, you will be painting your rims. This it is recommended that you mask the rim.Always clean your tires very well before you apply any tire dressing. I first use ADAMs and then PS tire cleaner. Both at full strength.Longevity: at first, I had a very nice shine. These were used on my 2017 4runner. It does go on even and levels itself out relatively well. It has a semi gloss sheen. It was good for about 1 month before the coating started wearing off. I put roughly 5k miles a month so the acceleration of “wear” is significantly higher with me. However, it doesn’t wear evenly and now there are some spots on the side wall that is purely rubber and some parts are still coated.And if you off road your tires, they will get dirty and brown real fast. I’m fact, the coating will discolor, especially in this Texas summer heat. The coating that is still on there has turned brown. If I scrape it with my nail, I can get some of it off. See picture. (I scratched a line of it off my side wall). You can see how the coating has been discolored. And this tire had been cleaned with adams + PS prior the picture. Still brown.I will be going back to carpro PERL.

Great product! no silicones or oils to make your tires slippery. Latex formula dries on tires and will not run or make a mess, great for motorcycle tires, but make sure you only put on the sidewall for safety sakes.

Its OK. Works OK
