Tried three different tyre products looking for that deep black without the dripping-wet look. This is the one. Semi-gloss sits perfectly against a coated paint job - nothing looks out of place.

Carbon Black Formula
Deep, rich colour - no gel, no fling
Black Devil combines carbon black pigment with a carnauba wax base to give your tyres a deep, intense semi-gloss finish that conditions the rubber and stays on the sidewall where it belongs - not on your paint or your wheel faces.
Why Black Devil
Four reasons detailers reach for this tin
Paste wax, carbon black pigment, carnauba protection - it does more than it sounds.
-
Carbon Black Pigment
Delivers intense, uniform black colour across the sidewall in a single application.
-
Low-Fling Formula
Wax base grips rubber under load so it does not migrate onto your paint or wheels.
-
Carnauba Conditioning
Seals and conditions the rubber surface to keep sidewalls from drying and greying.
-
Semi-Gloss Finish
Darker and richer than bare rubber without the overdressed wet-gel appearance.
Black Devil vs. Typical Tyre Dressings
Not all tyre products work the same way
Most tyre dressings do a basic job on a freshly cleaned tyre. Where they differ is in how they behave once the car moves - and what the finish actually looks like once it is on.

Built for the Full Detail
Tyres that match a corrected car
When the paint is corrected, coated and flawless, overdressed tyres with a plastic wet-shine break the look. Black Devil's semi-gloss finish reads as clean and intentional - the kind of result that tells the difference between a quick valet and a proper detail.
Reviews
What our customers say
Takes a bit of buffing to get an even finish if you apply too much, so go thin. Once it sets though, it does not budge between washes and the colour stays honest.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply Black Devil Tyre Wax?
Work a small amount of paste onto the included Pitasupo applicator sponge and spread it evenly across a clean, dry sidewall. Allow a short flash time until the surface loses its wet sheen, then buff lightly with a clean microfibre cloth. One application is enough for full colour depth.
Does the rubber need to be decontaminated first?
Yes. Clean, decontaminated rubber gives the best result and the longest wear. Strip any old dressing, brake dust and road grime before you apply. A dedicated tyre cleaner or APC at a moderate dilution works well here - rinse fully and allow the sidewall to dry before applying Black Devil.
What kind of finish does it leave?
Semi-gloss. It is noticeably darker and richer than a bare tyre, but it does not produce the high-shine, wet-gel look you get from silicone-based liquid dressings. It reads as a clean, natural finish that suits corrected and coated cars without looking overdone.
Will it fling off onto my painted panels or wheels?
No. The carnauba wax base grips the rubber rather than sitting on top as a liquid would. Unlike gel and water-based dressings, it does not spin off under load, so your freshly corrected paint and clean wheel faces stay clean.
How long does it last?
The wax base is designed to outlast typical dressings between applications, which is one of the reasons detailers use it on show cars and daily drivers alike. Exact longevity depends on wash frequency, road conditions and tyre scrub, but it is formulated to reduce how often you need to reapply.
Can I apply it by machine or is hand application only?
Black Devil is a paste wax designed for hand application with the included sponge applicator. The paste format gives you controlled, even distribution across the sidewall, which is easier to manage by hand than by machine on a curved tyre surface.
Is it safe to use on coloured or white-letter tyres?
Black Devil contains carbon black pigment, so it is formulated for standard black tyres. Using it on white-letter or coloured-stripe tyres risks staining those areas permanently. Stick to all-black sidewalls.
Can I layer Black Devil over a ceramic tyre coating or under one?
Applying Black Devil over a cured ceramic tyre coating would sit on top of the coating rather than bonding to the rubber, which may reduce the ceramic's performance and is generally not recommended. As a base layer under a ceramic, the wax could interfere with bonding. Use it on its own for the best result, on a clean, bare rubber surface.
