SOFT99 Black Magic Tire Shine 150mL – Long-Lasting Black Tire Coating
Product Description
Give your tires a rich, refreshed black appearance with SOFT99 Black Magic Tire Shine, a Japanese tire coating designed to enhance tire colour while creating a durable, dirt-repelling surface layer. Its specialized formula combines waxes, urethane synthetic resins, and carbon-black pigment to help restore the deep black look of tire sidewalls and deliver a clean, well-maintained finish.
Unlike conventional spray-on tire dressings, Black Magic features a built-in sponge applicator that allows you to spread the product directly onto the tire sidewall. This controlled application helps minimize overspray and reduces the chance of product splattering onto surrounding body panels when applied correctly.
The coating creates a rich black appearance with a natural satin-like gloss, helping tires look newer without the excessively greasy appearance associated with some tire shine products. Once fully dry, its dirt-repelling surface helps keep tires looking cleaner between washes.
SOFT99 Black Magic is a convenient choice for regular detailing, vehicle preparation, and anyone looking to improve the appearance of faded-looking tire sidewalls. The 150 mL bottle includes an integrated applicator for straightforward, even application.

How to Use SOFT99 Black Magic Tire Shine
Step 1: Clean the tires thoroughly
Wash the tire sidewalls to remove loose dirt, road grime, mud, and old tire dressing. For heavily soiled tires, use a suitable tire cleaner and a dedicated tire brush.
Rinse thoroughly and allow the tires to dry completely before application. A clean, dry surface helps the coating spread more evenly and adhere properly.
Step 2: Shake the bottle
Shake the bottle well with the cap closed to mix the formula evenly.
Step 3: Prepare the built-in applicator
Remove the cap to expose the integrated sponge applicator. Gently press the bottle as directed to release a small amount of product onto the sponge.
Avoid dispensing too much at once. A thin, even layer is easier to control and typically dries more consistently than an excessive application.
Step 4: Apply to the tire sidewall
Place the sponge against the tire's outer sidewall and spread the product evenly around the circumference.
Work carefully around raised lettering and sidewall contours. Keep the product away from the wheel face, painted bodywork, and other unintended surfaces.
Do not apply the product to the tire tread. The tread must remain free of dressing to maintain safe road contact.
Step 5: Allow the coating to dry
Allow approximately 5–20 minutes for the product to dry, depending on temperature and environmental conditions. Cooler conditions may require longer drying time.
Do not touch the treated surface while it is drying. Keep the tires away from water, dust, and other contamination during this period.
Step 6: Inspect before driving
Check the sidewalls for uneven coverage or excess product. If the product has accidentally contacted a wheel or painted panel, remove it promptly with a clean cloth before it dries.
Allow the coating to dry completely before driving to reduce the risk of product splatter staining the vehicle's bodywork.
Aftercare and Best Practices
-
Start with clean, dry tires: Dirt and old dressing can interfere with coating uniformity and appearance.
-
Apply a thin layer: Excessive product can increase drying time and create uneven coverage.
-
Keep the tread clean: Never apply tire shine to the road-contact surface.
-
Avoid hot surfaces: Apply in a shaded area when the tires are cool and dry.
-
Allow full drying: Do not drive until the coating is completely dry.
-
Avoid unnecessary layering: Inspect the finish first and apply additional product only when needed and permitted by the manufacturer's directions.
-
Maintain with regular washing: Use a suitable tire cleaner when the coating becomes dirty or begins to deteriorate.
-
Use caution around bodywork: The black pigment can stain other surfaces, skin, and clothing. Wipe up accidental contact promptly.
-
Store properly: Close the container securely and store it upright in a cool, dry place below 40°C, away from direct sunlight, freezing conditions, and sources of ignition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SOFT99 Black Magic Tire Shine?
SOFT99 Black Magic is a tire coating designed to enhance tire sidewall colour and provide a durable, dirt-repelling finish. It uses waxes, urethane synthetic resins, and carbon-black pigment.
What kind of finish does it produce?
Black Magic is designed to create a rich black gloss. Carzilla describes the finish as a light satin sheen. The final appearance can vary depending on tire condition, surface preparation, and application thickness.
How long does SOFT99 Black Magic last?
SOFT99 promotes the product as a durable tire coating, and some manufacturer-market materials describe durability of up to approximately two months. Actual longevity depends on weather, driving conditions, washing frequency, and tire condition. Treat this as an estimate rather than a guarantee.
Is the applicator included?
Yes. The bottle has an integrated sponge applicator, allowing you to spread the product directly over the tire sidewall.
Does Black Magic need to be wiped off?
The main application method is to spread a thin, even layer with the built-in sponge and allow it to dry. Avoid applying excessive product. If too much product is dispensed, gently even it out or remove excess according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I apply it to wet tires?
No. Wash the tires and let them dry completely before application. Moisture can interfere with even application and drying.
Can I use it on tire tread?
No. Apply only to the outer sidewall. The coating can make the tread slippery, so it must never be applied to the portion of the tire that contacts the road.
Will it splatter onto my vehicle's paint?
The integrated sponge applicator helps control application and reduce splatter compared with some spray-on products. However, excess product or driving before the coating is fully dry can still cause splatter and staining. Always allow complete drying and remove accidental contact promptly.
Is it suitable for damaged tires?
No. Do not use the product on cracked, deteriorated, or damaged tires. A tire coating is a cosmetic care product and does not repair tire damage.
Can I use it on motorcycle tires?
SOFT99's product guidance states that Black Magic is not suitable for motorcycle wheels. Do not use it on motorcycle tire surfaces where loss of traction could create a safety risk.
How much product is in the bottle?
The bottle contains 150 mL of product. The number of applications depends on tire size, condition, and how much product is dispensed each time.
