Soft99 Tire Black Wax

Restore, darken and protect tyres and exterior rubber with a classic solid wax formula.

SOFT99 Tire Black Wax is a solid tyre wax designed to enhance the natural black appearance of tyres while leaving a clean, refined matte-to-natural finish rather than an excessively glossy appearance.

The durable wax forms a protective coating over the treated surface, helping maintain a darker, cleaner-looking appearance for up to 1 month. Unlike conventional liquid tyre dressings, Tire Black Wax is supplied as a solid wax and is applied thinly using the included applicator sponge.

Its versatility also extends beyond tyres. SOFT99 Tire Black Wax can be used on suitable convertible leather/vinyl-style tops, exterior bumpers and trims, making it a useful product for restoring the appearance of a range of exterior rubber and trim surfaces.

Deep Black Without the Wet Look

SOFT99 Tire Black Wax is designed for enthusiasts who prefer a natural, refined tyre appearance rather than the extremely glossy look produced by some modern tyre dressings.

The solid wax enhances the tyre's natural black colour while leaving a smooth matte finish after the recommended drying and polishing process. This makes it particularly suitable for vehicles where a clean, factory-style appearance is preferred.

Durable Solid Wax Protection

Once applied and allowed to dry, Tire Black Wax forms a hard protective coating over the treated surface. 

Actual durability will vary depending on weather, vehicle use, tyre cleaning, washing frequency, road conditions and other environmental factors.

Suitable Applications

Tyre Sidewalls
Convertible Leather Top
Exterior Bumpers
Exterior Trims

Important Application Tips

• Clean thoroughly first: Surface preparation is important for achieving an even finish and good durability.
• Apply thinly: A thin, even coat is preferable to applying excessive product.
• Allow sufficient drying time: Allow approximately 5–10 minutes before polishing.
• Use a soft cloth: Gently polish the surface to achieve the desired matte appearance.
• Avoid over-application: Excess wax can make the final finish uneven and require additional buffing.
• Check compatibility: When using on a surface other than a conventional tyre sidewall, test an inconspicuous area first.

Tyre Application

Tire Black Wax is particularly effective when used on clean, dry tyre sidewalls. The solid wax is spread thinly over the rubber, allowed to set and then lightly polished with a soft cloth.

The result is a rich black, natural-looking finish that enhances the appearance of freshly cleaned tyres without the extremely wet appearance associated with high-gloss tyre dressings.

This makes Tire Black Wax an excellent choice for classic cars, daily drivers, restored vehicles and enthusiasts who prefer a more understated OEM-style appearance.

Exterior Bumpers & Trims

SOFT99 also recommends Tire Black Wax for suitable exterior bumpers and trims. The wax can be used to darken the appearance of appropriate exterior surfaces and improve the visual appearance of minor scuff marks.

For heavily faded, chalked or damaged plastics, however, the product should not be considered a substitute for dedicated plastic restoration or repair. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before treating an unfamiliar plastic or trim material.

Convertible Tops

Tire Black Wax can also be used on suitable convertible leather tops. Before application, ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and completely dry.

Apply a thin layer, allow it to dry for approximately 5–10 minutes and then gently polish with a soft cloth to achieve the desired finish.

Matte Finish – What to Expect

The intended appearance of Tire Black Wax is a beautiful matte finish. It is therefore a different proposition from high-gloss tyre dressings designed to create an intense wet-look appearance.

If you prefer tyres that look clean, dark and naturally black rather than freshly coated in a glossy dressing, Tire Black Wax is an excellent choice.
