  • Tire Gloss on Tires

    Does anyone spray tire gloss on the inside of there tires underneath the car? Does it effect the braking if you do?

      Im not sure if you are supposed to spray it on the tire itself, i could see it reducing traction to a point thats why it says not to use on bike tires and stuff it would cause slipping. Does the label say anything? I know sometimes they say sprayt it in the fenderwell, but spraying it or getting it on the tread itself would probably come off real quick, i hope i understood your question properly

        I think he means the sidewalls that are facing each other...not facing the street.

          I could only see that causing a mess. At very least, it will just spray all over the suspension. Is this for a show car?

            Some times I spray tire shine inside the wheel wells, but only on the plastic pieces inside. After it dries and sets, it leaves it with a wet black look rather than a dry gray look. It goes away after awhile but looks great when its fresh, I havent noticed any traction/braking issues doing that. Mainly because I would never spray that stuff onto the brakes.
