CARPRO DarkSide Tire & Rubber Sealant 500mL — Satin Black, Hydrophobic UV Protection, Non-Greasy Finish

CARPRO DarkSide is a ready-to-use tire and rubber nano-sealant that restores faded surfaces to a satin, hydrophobic finish while adding UV protection for months of wear.

Designed for enthusiasts and professionals, DarkSide uses a high-concentration polydimethylsiloxane blend to deliver an easy application that revives color, repels water and grime, and preserves rubber flexibility. This 500 mL (17 oz) bottle arrives ready to use—no dilution needed—and gives tires, trim, and other exterior rubber a deep, satin black appearance without a greasy residue.

How quickly does DarkSide change the look of tires and rubber?

Visible improvement occurs immediately after application: dull, weathered rubber regains depth and a satin sheen within minutes. The formula levels evenly for a smooth, consistent finish that avoids high-gloss or oily looks.

• Instant darkening and satin finish on contact
• Quick drying, non-runny application
• No heavy buildup—clean appearance after buffing

How long will the protection and appearance last?

DarkSide provides long-lasting cosmetic and protective benefits that can hold up to routine driving conditions for up to three months per application. Longevity depends on exposure to road abrasion, frequent washing, and environmental factors.

• Up to 3 months under normal conditions
• Hydrophobic action reduces dirt adherence, extending visual life
• Reapply as part of regular maintenance for sustained results

What surface types and preparation are recommended?

DarkSide is formulated for tires, rubber trim, and other exterior rubberized parts. For best results, clean surfaces to remove heavy grime, brake dust, and degreasers before sealing; test in an inconspicuous spot first.

• Suitable for tires, bumper trim, rubber seals, and plastic trim
• Surface should be clean and dry for even coverage
• Patch-test recommended to check compatibility

Is the application process difficult for non-professionals?

No specialized tools or dilution are required—DarkSide is ready to use and crafted for straightforward application. Apply sparingly, spread evenly, and wipe off any excess for a professional-looking satin result.

• Apply with an applicator pad or microfiber cloth
• Work in small sections and buff excess away
• Safe with basic PPE: avoid eye and skin contact
