Real Rubber Colour
Soft99 Tire Black Wax doesn't sit on the surface like a tyre gel - it bonds to the rubber and cures to a natural satin-black finish that looks like the tyre came straight from the factory. No greasy sheen, no fallout on your guards, just clean, deep black that stays.
Why Soft99 Tire Black Wax
A tyre dressing that does exactly what a clean detail demands.
Wax chemistry grips the tyre surface for colour that doesn't wash away after one rain.
Once cured, the product stays on the tyre, not on your wheelarch liner or paintwork.
Matte-to-satin black that looks factory-correct, not like you dunked the tyre in gloss.
A pad or sponge, a thin coat, and adequate flash time - no complicated process required.
How It Compares
Most tyre gels coat the surface and look great for about a day. Here is how Soft99 Tire Black Wax stacks up against a standard water-based gel dressing.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Bonds to rubber (not just coats surface) | Yes | No |
| Sling-resistant once cured | Yes | No |
| Natural satin-black finish (not high-gloss) | Yes | No |
| Safe to apply on standard rubber tyres | Yes | Yes |
| Easy application with a pad or sponge | Yes | Yes |
| Immediate shine after single wipe | No | Yes |
Built to Last
Because the wax formula bonds directly to the rubber, it lasts well beyond what a surface-coat dressing can offer. It's sling-resistant once cured, which means it won't end up as brown streaks on your wheel arches after the first drive.
Reviews
Tried a few tyre dressings that left white residue on my sidewalls once they dried. This one cures clean and the black is consistent across the whole tyre. Two coats on my front tyres that were properly greyed out made a big difference.
Takes a proper clean tyre to bond correctly, but once it does the finish is solid. Not a high-gloss look, more of a clean, natural black - which is exactly what I was after for the daily.
Questions
Work on a clean, dry tyre sidewall. Apply a thin, even layer using a tyre applicator pad or foam sponge, then allow adequate flash time for the wax to bond to the rubber. Buff off any excess with a cloth. On heavily faded tyres, two coats will deepen the colour noticeably.
Soft99 Tire Black Wax is designed for standard rubber tyre sidewalls on passenger vehicles and bakkies. It is not intended for use on painted surfaces, alloy wheels, or plastic trim.
Allow the wax adequate flash time to bond before driving. Once fully cured, the formula is sling-resistant. Driving too soon before curing is complete increases the risk of product being flung onto your bodywork.
Once properly cured, Soft99 Tire Black Wax is sling-resistant. The key is allowing full flash time before moving the vehicle. Applying in thin, even coats rather than loading the product on also reduces any risk.
It leaves a natural matte-to-satin black finish, not a high-gloss or wet-look sheen. The result looks factory-fresh rather than overdressed, which is ideal for vehicles where an understated, clean presentation is the goal.
One coat is sufficient for tyres in reasonable condition. For heavily faded or greying sidewalls, two coats will deepen the colour noticeably. Apply each coat thin and allow proper flash time between layers.
Yes. Apply Soft99 Tire Black Wax after your decon and cleaning steps are complete and the tyre is fully dry. Avoid applying over existing heavy silicone dressings without cleaning first, as these can prevent the wax from bonding properly to the rubber.
Durability depends on driving conditions, washing frequency, and weather exposure. Because the wax bonds to the rubber rather than sitting on top as a surface film, it generally outlasts standard spray dressings. Reapply as part of your regular maintenance detail when you notice the colour starting to fade.
