Tyre Coating
A finish that bonds, not just coats
Most tyre dressings sit on the surface and wash off at the first sign of rain. Black Magic takes a different approach, bonding to the tyre rubber to build a hydrophobic layer that sheds water and keeps brake dust and road grime from sticking in the first place.
Why Black Magic
Built for tyres, not just dressed on them
Four reasons detailers reach for Black Magic over a standard dressing.
-
Bonds to Rubber
Forms a coating layer on the tyre sidewall rather than sitting on the surface, so it lasts longer between applications.
-
Hydrophobic Protection
Water, road dust, and brake-dust contamination bead off the surface instead of bonding to the rubber.
-
Deep Wet-Look Gloss
Delivers a rich, saturated black finish that deepens with each additional coat, ideal for show prep.
-
No Greasy Sling
Formulated to resist sling-off once flashed, keeping your wheel faces and arches clean after the car is moved.
Black Magic vs. Standard Dressings
What sets a coating apart from a dressing
Standard gel and spray tyre dressings are easy to find and do a reasonable job for one wash cycle. Here is how Black Magic stacks up on the things that matter for lasting results.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Bonds to tyre rubber | Yes | No |
| Hydrophobic water-shedding finish | Yes | No |
| Resists browning and fading between washes | Yes | No |
| Sling-resistant once flashed | Yes | No |
| Applicator sponge included | Yes | Yes |
| Suitable for all tyre profiles | Yes | Yes |
Show-Ready Gloss
Wet-look black without the gel sling
Gel dressings look great on the stand but fling off onto your freshly cleaned arches the moment you pull out of the driveway. Black Magic delivers the same deep, saturated wet-look finish without the greasy residue, and the finish only gets richer with an extra coat.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply Soft99 Black Magic?
Apply to a clean, dry tyre using the included applicator sponge. Work it evenly across the sidewall in overlapping passes. Allow a short flash time for the coating to settle before the car is moved, and avoid driving immediately after to prevent sling onto your paintwork or wheels.
Does the tyre need to be fully decontaminated before application?
Yes. For best bonding, the tyre should be clean and free of old dressing residue, brake dust, and silicone. A dedicated tyre cleaner or an all-purpose cleaner scrubbed in with a stiff brush, then rinsed and dried, gives Black Magic the best surface to bond to.
Is Black Magic suitable for all tyre profiles?
Yes. The formulation works on any rubber sidewall profile, from low-profile performance tyres to the tall sidewalls found on SUVs, bakkies, and 4x4s. The applicator sponge gives you enough control to work on narrow sidewalls without contaminating the wheel face.
Will it sling onto my paintwork or wheels?
Unlike thick gel dressings, Black Magic is formulated to resist sling once it has been allowed to flash. The key is not driving off immediately after application. Give it a few minutes of flash time and wipe away any excess at the tyre edges before moving the car.
Can I build up coats for a deeper finish?
Yes. The finish deepens noticeably with additional coats. Allow each coat to flash before applying the next. Most detailers find two coats delivers the saturated, wet-look black they are after for show prep, while one coat is plenty for a clean daily-driver finish.
How long does the finish last between applications?
Because Black Magic bonds to the rubber rather than sitting on top, it holds up better than a standard tyre dressing between washes. Longevity depends on driving conditions, exposure to rain and road grime, and how frequently the tyres are scrubbed during washes. Top up as needed when you notice the gloss or hydrophobic properties diminishing.
Can Black Magic be used on rubber trim or plastic cladding?
It is formulated specifically for tyre rubber. While it may produce a temporary result on exterior rubber trim, it is not tested or marketed for plastics or cladding. For those surfaces use a dedicated trim restorer or protectant to avoid uneven results.
Where is Soft99 Black Magic made?
Black Magic is made in Japan by Soft99, a brand with a long track record in precision car-care chemistry. The bottle is compact enough to store neatly in any detailing kit bag alongside the included applicator sponge.
