Attention: Proper tire preparation and product application are essential to ensure optimum appearance and performance. Failure to adequately clean and prepare any tires, as well as improper product application, will adversely affect product performance and longevity. Please perform the following steps very carefully and completely:
Note:
1. All tires must be thoroughly cleaned, per the below instructions, regardless of age. Used tires will require more time and attention.
2. Please read all instructions before beginning treatment.
1. Pre-rinse tire and wheel with water, to both dampen tire and prevent Tire Prep & Cleaner from contacting a dry wheel.
2. Spray a "mist" of Tire Prep & Cleaner onto the damp tire.
3. Scrub tire vigorously and completely using a stiff bristle brush, working the Tire Prep & Cleaner into a lather.
4. Thoroughly rinse tire and scrub brush with water.
5. Spray another mist of Tire Prep and Cleaner onto tire and scrub tire again, thoroughly, until all lather or "suds" are completely white.
6. Rinse tire completely.
7. Rinse scrub brush for future use.
8. Allow tire to dry completely before applying Permagloss protectant.
NOTE: Compressed air and an air-blower can be used to speed tire drying time.
1. Ensure tire is completely clean and dry.
2. Wear rubber gloves.
3. Shake bottle of Permagloss Base Coat before using.
4. Apply a small amount of Permagloss Base Coat onto a Permagloss Applicator Sponge, reapplying to sponge as needed. Beware that a little goes a long way. If this is your first time applying Permagloss, "shake" just a few drops on the Applicator Sponge and spread on and around the first tire to gain a feel for how little product is needed.
5. Using Applicator Sponge, apply Permagloss Base Coat to tire in a circular motion around the circumference of the tire. Spread product evenly around tire, working the Base Coat into the crevasses and details of the tire as needed for complete coverage.
6. Inspect tire to ensure any runs are smoothed out.
7. Wipe any Base Coat residue off of wheels.
8. Roll vehicle forward or backwards to enable you to treat the "flat" area of the tire.
9. Allow tires to dry to touch before applying Finish Coat.
NOTE: Permagloss Base Coat contains black pigment that is a stain hazard. Use with care. Do not apply to whitewalls or raised white letters. For white rubber, use only Permagloss Finish Coat.
1. Ensure Base Coat is dry.
2. Wear rubber gloves.
3. Shake bottle of Permagloss Finish Coat before using.
4. Apply a small amount of Permagloss Finish Coat onto a Permagloss Applicator Sponge, reapplying to sponge as needed.
5. Using Applicator Sponge, apply Permagloss Finish Coat to tire in a circular motion around the circumference of the tire. Spread product evenly around tire, working the Finish Coat into the crevasses and details of the tire as needed for complete coverage.
6. Inspect tire to ensure any runs are smoothed out.
7. Wipe any Finish Coat residue off of wheels.
8. Roll vehicle forward or backwards to enable you to treat the "flat" area of the tire.
9. Allow tires to dry, then apply second coat of Permagloss Finish Coat.
NOTE: Tires treated with Permagloss for the first time will require one coat of Base Coat and two coats of Finish Coat. Additional coats may be applied if a greater gloss finish is desired.
10. Allow tires to dry to touch (about 15 minutes) before driving vehicle. Permagloss is completely cured within 24-48 hours. Avoid water to extent possible for first 24 hours.
11. After tires are dry, rinse and clean Applicator Sponge with water. Allow to dry and store for future use.
1. Once applied and cured, treated tires should be cleaned with mild soap and water or water only. While not recommended, Permagloss will withstand repeated pressure washings.
2. For occasional "refreshes" and/or to restore a "wet" look, simply apply one coat of Finish Coat to clean, dry tire following the above Instructions section marked Permagloss Finish Coat.
3. To repair "curb rash" or other blemishes: clean and dry tire then apply one or more coats of Base Coat to the affected area following the above Instructions section marked Permagloss Base Coat. Allow Base Coat to dry and then apply one coat of Finish Coat, following the above Instructions section marked Permagloss Finish Coat, to the entire tire to complete the repair.
4. Do not apply Permagloss Base Coat or Finish Coat to hot tires, dirty tires, in direct sunlight or in temperatures below 50 F.
