Full Description

SOFT99 4-X Tire Cleaner is an express spray tyre dressing. Sprayed onto the tyre it forms a fine foam that binds to the rubber straight away and gives the tyre a wet look. Soft99 says it reduces working time by 75%.

Its formula is based on two types of silicone. It leaves an even coating that protects the tyre and makes its surface hydrophobic, so the tyre keeps its look for longer. One 470 ml can covers 12 to 16 standard tyres.

Expert Notes

4-X is a quick way to dress tyres after a wash. Soft99 designed it to foam on contact, bind to the rubber and leave a wet look, and says it reduces working time by 75%. The two-silicone formula leaves an even, hydrophobic coating on the sidewall. Shake the can, spray from 5 to 10 cm onto the sidewall only, spread the foam with a microfibre cloth or brush, and give it about 2 minutes before wiping off any excess. Keep it off the tread and wipe any overspray off paint or trim straight away. Soft99 says not to use it on motorcycle or bicycle tyres, as it may cause slipping. A 470 ml can covers 12 to 16 standard tyres.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car tyre sidewalls
  • Standard road tyres
  • Tyres after a wash
  • Rubber tyre surfaces
  • Daily driven cars
  • Weekend wash routines

Caution: Use it only in a well-ventilated area, keep it off the tread, and do not use it on motorcycles or bicycles as it may cause slipping.

Soft99 Glaco glass care and detailing tools

Glaco. Soft99 launched its Glaco glass water repellents in 1991. The roll-on coatings leave the screen repelling rain so it is blown off by the airflow as you drive: Ultra Glaco Roll On in 70ml, Glaco Roll On in 120ml and the 300ml Glaco Roll On MAX, made to mark 30 years of Glaco. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is a 40ml spray for side mirrors that leaves a layer of fine silica crystals. Prepare the glass first with the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On, which uses two abrasives to remove stains, traffic film and old Glaco.

Tools. The Super Water Absorber is a quilted drying cloth; wash it without fabric softener. The Surface Smoother Mini is a 100g clay bar for bonded contamination. The Exterior Brush has synthetic bristles for wheels, grilles and badges, the Interior Detailing Brush natural bristles for vents and dashboards, and the Digloss Kamitore wheel sponge cut-pile microfibre over a durable inner sponge. Keep it all in the Detailing Kuferek Bag, which holds four waxes and four 500ml bottles.
