Profile is our tyre and trim dressing — a solvent-and-silicone blend that restores a rich, dark finish to tyres, rubber and exterior plastic trim. It's a multi-gloss dressing, so you choose the look: one coat gives a clean satin finish, and extra layers build up to a deep gloss. Wiped on with an applicator, it's quick-drying, water-repellent and formulated not to sling.

The Benefits

Why You'll Love It

Restores & Protects

Brings faded, greying tyres and trim back to a deep, factory-fresh finish, while leaving a water-repellent layer that helps protect rubber and plastic from the elements.

No Sling, No Mess

The quick-drying formula grips the surface instead of flicking onto your paintwork as you drive off. Applied with an applicator, it goes exactly where you want it.

Your Gloss, Your Choice

One layer leaves a natural satin finish; add more for extra shine, right up to a wet-look gloss. The same bottle does understated or showroom — you decide.

A Few Drops Do It

It takes only a small amount on the applicator to dress a whole tyre, so a bottle lasts a long time — and the larger sizes keep a regularly-dressed fleet going for ages.

How It Works

What Does Profile Actually Do?

Tyres and plastic trim fade because sunlight, heat and road grime strip the oils out of the rubber and plastic over time. The surface dries out, greys and looks tired — and once it's gone that far, cleaning alone won't bring the colour back.

Profile is a dressing: a blend of solvents and silicones that carries fresh conditioning oils into the surface. The solvents help it key in and flash off quickly, while the silicones restore a deep, even colour and leave a water-repellent film. Because it's a progressive dressing, the finish is up to you — one coat is a natural satin, and each additional layer adds gloss.

Like any dressing it's a layer that wears, so rain, washing and miles gradually break it down over a few weeks. It's quick to refresh, though: a wipe-over when the finish starts to flatten keeps tyres and trim looking dressed. Cleaning the surface properly first makes each application last longer.

The Result
"Dark, even, freshly-dressed tyres and trim — as subtle or as glossy as you like. Wipe it on, choose your finish, and it won't sling all over your clean paint."

Suitability

Is It Right For You?

Ideal For
  • Restoring faded, greying tyres to a deep, even black
  • Reviving dull exterior plastic trim and bumpers
  • Anyone who wants to dial in their own finish, from satin to gloss
  • Drivers fed up with dressings that sling onto their paintwork
  • Finishing a wheel and tyre clean with that last professional touch
Consider An Alternative If…
  • You want to dress and protect interior plastics and vinyl — Satin is made for cabin surfaces
  • The tyres are still coated in old dressing or grime — clean them first with Cleanse so Profile can bond
  • You're after paint gloss and protection, not a trim dressing — that's a job for Oxide or Flex
Safe On
  • Tyre sidewalls
  • Exterior plastic trim and bumpers
  • Rubber seals and mouldings
Avoid
  • Paintwork and glass — keep it to trim and rubber
  • Tyre tread, brake discs and pads
  • Interior touch points, pedals and steering wheel
Application Guide

How To Use Profile

1
Clean & Dry First

Dressing bonds best to a clean, dry surface. Clean tyres and trim thoroughly first — Cleanse strips off old dressing and grime — and let them dry.

2
Load The Applicator

Apply a few drops of Profile onto a tyre dressing applicator. A little goes a long way, so start small — you can always add more.

3
Spread Evenly

Wipe it evenly around the tyre sidewall or across the trim, working it into the surface so the colour comes up consistent with no heavy patches.

4
Layer To Your Finish

Stop at one coat for a natural satin look, or add further layers for more gloss. Let each layer flash off before adding the next, and wipe any stray product off nearby paint.

5
Refresh When It Fades

Each application lasts up to around four weeks depending on weather and washing. When the finish starts to flatten, give it a quick wipe-over to bring the colour and repellency back.

Detail
Will it sling onto my paintwork?
No — Profile is a no-sling formula that flashes off and grips the surface rather than flicking off the tyre as you drive. Wiping it on with an applicator rather than spraying keeps it off your paint, and letting each coat flash off before driving helps too.
How long does it last, and how often should I reapply?
Each application lasts up to around four weeks, though rain, washing and miles will shorten that. It's quick to top up — when the finish starts to flatten or grey, a wipe-over brings the colour and water repellency straight back. Cleaning the surface first makes each application last longer.
How do I get more gloss?
Profile is a progressive dressing, so gloss is built up in layers. One coat gives a natural satin finish; apply a second or third, letting each flash off first, to reach a deeper, wet-look shine. Fewer layers for a factory look, more for show.
Can I use it on interior trim?
Profile is designed for exterior rubber and plastic. For interior plastics, vinyl and dashboards, use Satin, which is formulated for cabin surfaces and leaves a lower-sheen, non-greasy finish that's better suited to touch points.
What do I apply it with?
A tyre dressing applicator is ideal — its crescent shape hugs the sidewall and puts the product exactly where you want it, with none on your hands or paint. A few drops on the pad is enough to dress a whole tyre.
Do I need to clean the tyres first?
Yes. Old dressing, brake dust and grime stop new dressing bonding evenly, which is what causes patchy results. Clean tyres and trim with Cleanse and let them dry before applying Profile for the most even, longest-lasting finish.
