Default Tire Care

I have put together a little test that we have done since we get many requests regarding our tire gel.

Tire Gel

Here’s an example of the difference between a good tire care gel and the average product that some of you use.

This time the test mule is our 85ft rig.

Condition of tire after driving 900 miles, dull and dirty, one particular tire had been previously protected with a well known brand.

Tire Preparation

First Step following some simple directions using our Tire and Wheel Brightener

Spray onto a cool wheel, let set for about one minute, and then agitate with a sponge or soft brush to activate the formula for even better cleaning. Rinse thoroughly. For heavily soiled wheels, process may need to be repeated.

Turbo Wax Wheel Cleaner and Brightener is unique in that it actually cleans the wheels without acids or other harmful chemicals, some of which can and will cause spotting or peeling of the clear coat on the wheels. Works well on plastic wheel coverings as well. If accidentally sprayed onto vehicle finish, just wash off, no harm done. Product is also pH-balanced and formula will not stain clear coats.


Turbo Wax Tire and Wheel Brightener sprayed on Tire and Wheels








The following tire was protected with a well known brand of tire shine, all the gloss was gone on both of the products ours and them, however after our tire and wheel cleaner product had settle I took the following picture, you can clearly see all the chemicals residue coming to the surface, on the second picture you don’t see the same effect since that tire was previously protected with our tire gel.

Tires after been wash



The tires were protected with our Tire Gel, 2 coats were applied for a deep shine.







250 Miles later



700 Miles later





900 Miles later





And the same on all other tires, and no SLING!!!!!




Just in case we did put together a forum sale, the thread is here.
