Full Description

Sonax XTREME Tyre Gloss Gel gives every type of car tyre a deep, shiny black wet look. The gel formula cares for the rubber and protects it against cracking and colour fading, and Sonax says the finish lasts for several weeks.

The 500ml bottle is enough for at least 50 tyres. It goes on with a sponge: lay a strip of gel about 5 cm long along the sponge, massage it evenly into the clean, dry sidewall and repeat until the gloss is as deep as you want. Keep it off the tread and the brakes, and do not use it on motorbike or bicycle tyres.

Expert Notes

A gel dressing works differently from a spray. It goes on with a sponge, so you place the product on the sidewall by hand instead of spraying it, and you build the shine by adding layers. Sonax rates this one for a deep black wet look that lasts for several weeks and says a bottle covers at least 50 tyres.

It is a care product as well as a finish. Sonax says the formula maintains the rubber and protects it against cracking and colour fading, which is why it is worth reapplying when the gloss starts to fade.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car tyre sidewalls
  • Summer tyres
  • Winter tyres
  • All-season tyres
  • Clean, dry tyres

Caution: Do not apply it to the tread, the brakes or the floor, and do not use it on motorbike or bicycle tyres.

How To Use

Prepare the tyres

  1. Clean heavily soiled tyres first, for example with a tyre and plastic cleaner, and let them dry.
  2. Park where you can move the car slightly later on.
  3. Cover the floor under the tyre if needed, because dressing on the ground can make it slippery.

Apply the gel

  1. Lay a strip of gel about 5 cm long along an application sponge.
  2. Massage it evenly into the tyre sidewall.
  3. Hold the sponge upright and guide it along the contours of the tyre.
  4. Repeat until you reach the gloss level you want.
  5. Move the car slightly and treat the part of the tyre that was on the ground.
  6. Squeeze the gel out of the sponge into an absorbent cloth when you finish.

Top Tip: Apply one thin layer first and repeat only where you want more gloss, as Sonax suggests.

The Brand

Sonax

SONAX was founded in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany, with roots dating back to the early 20th century. Originating from the Hoffmann family’s siliceous earth mining, SONAX developed polishing products before focusing fully on automotive care in 1950. The name combines “Sona” from its early polishes with “X” for wax, representing its pioneering car wax formulations. Today SONAX remains based in Bavaria and has become a global leader in detailing products, trusted in over 100 countries for its innovation, precision, and premium quality.
