Clean Lettering
Bring Your Raised Tyre Text Back to Life
The Soft99 Tire Marker White puts a hard-felt precision tip in your hand so you can work letter by letter, staying sharp on the edges without flooding the surrounding rubber. The quick-drying white acrylic gives you strong coverage that builds up exactly where you need it.
Why It Works
Precision Where It Counts
Designed for clean, controlled application on raised tyre lettering.
-
Bright White Finish
High-contrast white acrylic paint makes raised lettering stand out sharply against the tyre sidewall.
-
Hard Felt Precision Tip
The firm tip lets you trace each letter accurately without bleeding onto the surrounding rubber.
-
Buildable Acrylic Formula
Apply additional coats once the first is dry to dial in the opacity and brightness you want.
-
Compact and Portable
The 8ml pen fits easily into a detailing bag or glovebox, ready whenever a touch-up is needed.
How It Compares
Soft99 Tire Marker vs. a Generic White Paint Pen
A generic white paint pen from a stationery or hardware store might look similar on the shelf, but the formulation and tip design make a real difference when you are working on rubber lettering.

Motorsport Look
A Compact Pen That Earns Its Place in the Kit
At 8ml it takes up almost no space, but the difference it makes to a set of tyres with bold raised lettering is immediately visible. Whether you are prepping a show car or freshening up a daily, the white acrylic holds well between washes and re-applies cleanly when you need it.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I prepare the tyre before using the Soft99 Tire Marker?
Clean the raised lettering thoroughly to remove dirt, old tyre dressing, wax and any oils. A dedicated tyre cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a stiff brush works well. The lettering must be completely dry before you apply the marker - any moisture will affect adhesion and coverage.
Can I use this on hot tyres straight after a drive?
No. The source instructions are clear: do not apply to hot tyres. Let the tyre cool down to ambient temperature before you start. Applying to a warm surface can cause the acrylic to dry unevenly and reduces adhesion.
How do I prime the marker tip before use?
Shake the marker firmly with the cap fitted, then remove the cap and press the felt tip gently onto a piece of scrap cardboard. Keep pressing until the white paint begins to flow through the tip. Test on the cardboard first before moving to the tyre lettering.
How many coats can I apply?
The coverage is buildable. Apply your first coat, allow it to dry completely, then assess. If you want a brighter, more opaque result you can apply a second coat. Always let each coat cure fully before adding the next - applying wet-on-wet will drag the previous coat and reduce coverage quality.
How long does each coat take to dry?
The formula is described as quick-drying. Dry time will vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity, but in typical outdoor detailing conditions each coat should be touch-dry before you need to apply the next. Avoid driving the vehicle until the final coat is fully dry to prevent smearing.
Will the white marking stay on through washing and rain?
The acrylic paint bonds to the rubber surface and provides reasonable durability for a tyre marker. Heavy scrubbing with strong degreasers or aggressive tyre cleaners will wear the coating back over time. Avoid pressure-washing directly at the lettering. Re-application is straightforward when the letters start to fade.
Is this marker suitable for smooth (non-raised) lettering or whitewall tyres?
The Soft99 Tire Marker is designed primarily for raised tyre lettering, where the hard felt tip can be guided along the raised surface. On flat or recessed text it is harder to keep paint within the letter edges. For smooth whitewalls a brush-style applicator is generally better suited.
How much tyre lettering will an 8ml marker cover?
At 8ml, one marker is enough to complete the lettering on all four tyres of a standard vehicle with paint to spare, depending on letter size and how many coats you apply. Because the tip primes onto cardboard first, a small amount of paint is used in that step - keep this in mind before the first use.
