KOCHCHEMIE Tire Glaze — 1 L solvent-based tire & trim finish with UV protection and adjustable matte-to-gloss shine

KOCHCHEMIE Tire Glaze is a solvent-based tire and trim finish that restores a deep wet-look shine while adding UV protection and leaving surfaces touch-dry.

Designed for professional detailers and enthusiasts, this 1 liter formula blends UV blockers with high-performance shine agents to rejuvenate rubber, plastic, and vinyl. It’s simple to apply: spread with an applicator pad, let the product settle to avoid sling, then remove excess for a consistent finish. Depending on how you apply and buff, you can achieve anything from a subtle matte black to a high-gloss showroom look.

How do I apply KOCHCHEMIE Tire Glaze for best results?

Application is straightforward and built to minimize sling and uneven coverage. Use a soft applicator pad, work in small tire sections, and allow a short dwell time before removing extra product to prevent runoff. Buffing controls the final sheen—light buff for matte, several coats for maximum gloss.

• Apply evenly with an applicator pad across the tire face.
• Let the glaze sit briefly to reduce dripping and sling.
• Wipe or buff off excess with a microfiber towel for consistent finish.
• Repeat thin layers to build gloss without sticky residue.

Will this work on trim and textured plastics as well as tires?

Yes—this glaze was formulated to improve appearance on multiple exterior surfaces. It enhances textured plastics, vinyl, and rubber without making surfaces overly greasy when applied correctly. Test a small area first on sensitive plastics to confirm desired look.

• Restores color and hides light surface imperfections on trim pieces.
• Suitable for vinyl door seals, bumper trims, and textured moldings.
• Leaves surfaces touch-dry when excess is removed as instructed.

How durable is the protection and UV defense?

The product contains UV blockers to slow fade and maintain a deeper black appearance longer than untreated surfaces. Durability depends on exposure, cleaning routines, and how often you reapply—expect better longevity than water-based quick dressings. For vehicles parked outdoors frequently, plan routine maintenance to sustain appearance.

• Includes UV-blocking ingredients to reduce sun-related fading.
• Solvent base improves adherence and longer-lasting visual effect.
• Periodic reapplication preserves gloss and protection under heavy use.

Can I control the finish from matte to high gloss?

Absolutely—finish is determined by application technique and layering. One thin coat followed by light buffing gives a matte, freshly restored black. Adding additional thin coats and minimal buffing builds a deep, wet shine favored for show cars.

• One coat + buff = matte black, natural appearance.
• Multiple thin coats = progressive increase in wet-look gloss.
• Avoid heavy single coats to prevent sling and uneven drying.

Who is this for: KOCHCHEMIE Tire Glaze is aimed at professional detailers, body shops, and enthusiasts who demand consistent, long-lasting cosmetic results on tires and exterior trim. It suits anyone who wants a controllable finish—matte restoration or glossy showroom shine—plus added UV defense for prolonged color retention. If you prefer quick-spray dressings for temporary shine, this solvent-based glaze offers a more durable, professional-grade alternative that rewards careful application and routine maintenance.
