Does tire foam gloss damage tires? Effects of gloss agent: The gloss agent does have certain effects on tires, at least making them more aesthetically pleasing. If a tire leaks while driving, tire foam gloss can be used. Similar to inflating, it is sprayed into the tire through the valve to seal the leak, allowing the car to be driven to a repair shop. Tire maintenance: Regularly check tire pressure, ensuring it is neither too high nor too low, and inflate according to the indicated pressure; inspect wear conditions, check the inner side of the tire, and observe if the tread depth is consistent on both sides; perform wheel alignment regularly, and if abnormal steering occurs, promptly align the tires.
Whether tire foam shine damages tires primarily depends on the product composition. Having used numerous brands myself, I've found those containing silicone oil or petroleum solvents may accelerate rubber aging, leading to cracking or brittleness. Especially with cheaper products, the strong penetration of chemicals can reduce tire lifespan with prolonged use. I recommend opting for water-based formulas like Meguiar's or Chemical Guys, which are gentler and provide UV protection. Additionally, avoid overuse – I only apply once monthly after cleaning the tires, wiping gently to prevent buildup. Remember, tires are critical safety components; don't sacrifice durability for aesthetics. Regularly inspect tire condition – discontinue use immediately if cracks or hardening appear.
