THE SCIENCE
The Science Behind TIREGLO™
Understanding TIRE and TRIM chemistry and our treatment process
FACTORY TIRES
Even with protective additives, tire sidewalls and tread surfaces weather continuously in real-world service. Sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, ozone, oxygen, heat cycling, moisture, road salts, detergents, brake dust, and airborne grime gradually oxidize and dry the exposed rubber surface. As the surface ages, tires can lose their rich black appearance and develop a dull gray or brown cast, uneven coloration, embedded soil, chalky-looking bloom, and—in more advanced cases—fine ozone cracking. This visible aging can occur long before a tire reaches the end of its structural or tread life, which is why appearance-restoration products are valuable for cleaning, renewing color, and improving the perceived condition of exterior tire surfaces. Want to have the better-than-new look? TIREGLOTM is the answer.

FACTORY TRIM
Black plastic trim—used for bumper moldings, rocker panels, mirror housings, cowl panels, wheel-arch cladding, and window surrounds—can lose its original appearance quickly due to sunlight, heat, ozone, road grime, detergents, and temperature cycling. UV exposure from sunlight in particular can oxidize the polymer and depletes surface additives, leading to fading, chalking, whitening, discoloration, and "tiger striping."
Because automotive trim is continuously exposed to UV radiation, moisture, salt, airborne contaminants, abrasion, and repeated washing, it often shows visible age much sooner than the rest of the vehicle—creating a strong need for restoration coatings that renew color and appearance while providing durable environmental protection.
No more dull & weathered gray trim! Restore that rich black appearance with TRIMGLO™.
TREATMENT PREP
Treatment begins with a thorough cleaning of the tire and trim using any cleaning solution. This removes dust, dirt, brake dust, and sticky materials. Heavily soiled tires are brushed. The tire and trim is allowed to fully dry before application of the polymer treatment.
CHEMISTRY AND APPLICATION
TIREGLO™ and TRIMGLO™ are patented formulations. The compositions contain complex polymers, additives, and liquids. This allows targeting unrivaled performance in both aesthetics and durability.
Chemical bonding occurs on the tire and trim surfaces. This allows superior adhesion to the tire or trim and also results in long-term durability. The compositions are fine-tuned to provide ease-of-use and consistency in application of the product and to ensure high quality standards.
