From the article you will learn:

• What causes premature tire wear and damage?

• How to care for, wash and protect car tires?

The tire maintenance process includes four steps - washing, drying, preparing the Black Tire with Wet Tire Effect preparation for application and dosing the preparation onto the tires - for which you must be properly prepared. Important - when using chemical preparations for car care, including tires - we always carefully read the manufacturer's recommendations given on the label.

Why do tires deteriorate and wear out?

The answer is simple - they are consumable parts of the car that are exposed to high, above-average loads. But it is not their nature alone that causes them to lose their properties over time and limit driving safety and comfort. Our method of exploitation is very important. If the vehicle is parked and not used for a long time, deformations and deformations may occur in the tires. Weather conditions do not affect them in the best way. Some people even believe that the weather is the biggest enemy of tires. It's hard to disagree with that! Salt, high and low temperatures and solar radiation make tires weaker. They may become hard or soft depending on whether they are winter or summer tires. Let's not forget about road salt and mud. Our tires are also exposed to their adverse effects. I think everyone agrees that tires are also damaged by driving over uneven surfaces and neglecting the tire pressure - it cannot be too low or too high. If we add a heavy load to this, we can be sure that our tires will rebel after some time.

How to prevent it?

If you notice that your tires are wearing out faster than they should, it's a good time to change your habits. Avoid sudden braking if possible, choose smooth roads and try to accelerate gradually. Check that the tires are mounted correctly. It happens that even a slight imperfection may result in its deformation.

How you care for your tires on a daily basis is also important. When you wash your car, do you also pay attention to it, its cleanliness and technical condition? Dirt makes it difficult to spot any defects. You can help yourself and prevent them from occurring and getting worse if your tires are always relatively clean. When cleaning them, it is also a good idea to protect them against external factors. Special preparations will definitely help you with this. You don't have to invest in a professional car wash. Everything you need is available!

Step 1 – rinsing and washing the tires

Before using the “Black Tire” preparation, rinse the tire with water. In case of heavy dirt, it may be necessary to use a brush and a washing preparation from the Moje Auto "Car Shampoo" line. This activity is necessary because it guarantees that we will achieve the intended effect that we want to achieve when using the preparation.Black tire". In the case of a dirty surface, e.g. stuck mud, the active substances will stick to the surface, impregnating the dirt - the end result may be unsatisfactory. If we properly prepare the tire surface by washing it with a delicate brush and shampoo, we will remove all solid dirt, e.g. sand, and remnants of care products left after previous use.

Step 2 – drying the tire

Then dry the tire well. Never apply the preparation to a wet or damp surface, as this will weaken the effect of the product - it is related to the specificity of the product, as the preparation is insoluble in water. This operation should take a few minutes because moisture may be present in places invisible to the naked eye, which will certainly weaken the durability of the product.

Step 3 – preparation of the preparation for application

Once the tire surface is properly prepared, we start applying the preparation, remembering to shake the packaging before using it. This procedure will ensure that all active substances are evenly distributed throughout the entire capacity of the packaging.

Step 4 – dosing the polishing agent

Apply the preparation to the side surfaces of the tire from a distance of 15 cm. Maintaining this distance is extremely important because if we use the product at a distance of less than 10 cm, the pressure in the aerosol packaging may cause the preparation to be sprayed over the entire surface of the tire (e.g. on the running part of the tire or parts of the braking system, which may pose a serious danger while driving). However, if we use the product from a higher distance, over 20 cm, we may not achieve a satisfactory effect because the product will not be dosed precisely.

Additionally, we can also contaminate other parts of the tire. Correct dosing of the preparation is an extremely important element of the tire polishing process. "Czarna Opona" Moje Auto is a preparation with a "wet tire" effect. It contains lubricating substances, so it should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations given on the label. It contains silicone oils that protect the rubber against aging, and specialized additives ensure its flexibility and excellent aesthetic effect, characterized by high gloss, commonly known as the "wet tire" effect. The silicone layer effectively penetrates the tire structure and creates a layer that protects against harmful external factors.

Recommendations

We should remember that only systematic use of care products will ensure the tire's protection effect. It is recommended that tires be cared for after each use of car wash chemicals. You should also remember to secure tires that you do not use. After dismantling, the tires should be thoroughly cleaned and preserved.

To summarize the tire maintenance preparation with the wet effect of Moje Auto tires:                                                   

• preserves the side surfaces of tires
• provides long-lasting shine with a "wet tire" effect
• increases the elasticity of the outer rubber layer, protecting against cracking.

IMPORTANT! Precautions

For safety reasons, we do not use the preparation on the running part of the tire or on the elements of the braking system. It is recommended to check the braking effectiveness before driving.

Summary

• Tires deteriorate as a result of improper use - driving on uneven roads, sudden braking and acceleration, and too long time of not using the car
• The condition of the tire is also influenced by road conditions, such as salt and mud, and weather conditions, such as low temperatures and UV radiation.
• Tires should be washed and maintained regularly. You will be able to spot possible defects more easily in advance, and you will also protect the tire surface against the unfavorable influence of external factors.
• Before protecting the tire, always wash it thoroughly using a specialized shampoo and dry it.
