303® Tire Balm & Protectant is a hand applied tire shine product that allows you to enjoy either matte OR glossy finish, depending on how many coats you apply. One coat for a matte, new tire look, and additional coats for a glossy finish! This product provides superior UV protection to prevent the tire from fading and cracking and prevents tire rot (dry rot), which can occur when your vehicle sits for long periods of time. This product dries quickly, and will not sling product up onto your vehicle’s paint once you drive your car after application.

Usage Directions:

Shake product well before using. Apply on a COOL, CLEAN tire. Using an applicator of your choice, spread product evenly across tire, let dry completely. Apply one coat for a matte finish. For a shinier finish, apply a second or third coat, with a 10 minute waiting period in between coats. Wipe off any residual that drips onto rims. If any streaking occurs, re-apply to that specific area.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LarryMaupin from A little disappointed Product is good but drippy when applying it to my applicator. Applied two coats. Looked awesome for a few days then started to get dull. Disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SandyLee from Protect Your Tires! I just tried the 303 tire balm and protectant and I am a 66 year young grandma. It went on nice and looks good. I bought the tire applicators and it was easy. Now only time will tell. Tires are suppose to have UV protectant but my car doesn't have a garage and it sits out all year. My last tires had half tread but failed because the sidewalls cracked. The side that had the sun most of the day were the worst. Now that I got new tires I wanted to make sure they last. Did my research and 303 tire balm was the obvious choice! Thanks !

Rated 5 out of 5 by Picky Man from Good Product This is a water based dressing. Not as shiny as some of the gel based dressings. But the tires have a nice look with the 303 dressing. It is also easier to remove when cleaning tires and does not sling off. I put 2 coats on my tires and they look good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Klasse Act from NO SLING and adjustable finish...and durable, usua How many times have YOU applied a tire product in the past to have it sling all over the side of your ride, yeah, been there, done that, well, in the long distant past! Since then there's been several products to come out to eliminate this, the 303 Tire Balm is one of them, but it has more features than this. It's important to properly clean the tire first and foremost, get it clean of everything so the 303 Tire Balm clings to the rubber and penetrates, the 303 Tire and Rubber cleaner is a fine choice as it cleans almost on contact, using a brush will get you the deep clean you need. Once the tire has been rinsed, dried and given some time to air dry it's time to apply the 303 Tire Balm. This product has a decent consistency, so apply a decent amount to your foam applicator. The first coat may or may not get absorbed into the tire right away, so it's a good idea to consider the first coat as a base coat. Give the product 10-15 minutes to penetrate and/or dry and then inspect. At this point the tire will be dry to the touch and it's time for the 2nd coat, apply this coat and give it the same 10-15 minutes to dry. For most people this will give you the look you desire but for more gloss additional coats are necessary, you will also get added durability as well. At this point you'll drive and enjoy your ride as normal, driving in all conditions but because all tires have various compounds and silica in them, your results will vary. I've applied this product to my tire and in one rainstorm had it wash off completely, leaving the tire brown. Then other times, same tire, it holds up in the rain and it's the same bottle even, leaves me scratching my head for sure. Laying down a good base is a good idea, no doubt about it. Even if the product looks good after the rain, when you go to wash your ride, give the tires a wash with your carwash soap, dry the tires and apply an even, single coat, alot shouldn't be needed. Oh yeah, btw, keep your applicator in a Zip-lock bag. This not only keeps things clean but keeps what's in the applicator already there and not drying out, a top tip if I do say so myself. In closing, this product leaves the tires looking great, never ever that "used car lot look", is easy to apply and NEVER EVER SLINGS, plus its durable, in most cases and is competeivly priced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scorpio from Does a good job. Does a good job on my tires and they look great. I only use one application, because I don't like "shinny" tires.

Questions & Answers

What is the difference between this Balm product and the 303® Tire Coating & Protectant one?

Asked by: Reviewer

The main difference is that the 303® Tire Coating & Protectant is a spray and leaves a Satin finish, while 303® Tire Balm is an ointment that allows for multiple coatings that provide different levels of matte or gloss finishes. Thanks for the question!

Can you directly address the issue of tire rot? I have gotten an older vehicle and the tires have very good tread but they have extreme cracking and are starting to leak and actually come apart. Which product is the very best for that?

Asked by: Reviewer

Can tire balm be used on RV slide out rubber seals and  windshield rubber seals?

Asked by: FrankJK

Yes. 303 Tire Balm can be used on rubber surfaces, including seals and gaskets. Hope this helps!

What is the relative coverage rates of the various tire products? To be specific, how much area does each container cover?

Asked by: Reviewer

It is difficult to determine the coverage area for this product as applications vary from tire conditions and the desired level of shine and gloss one is seeking. Typically a bottle covers at least 3 to 4 single-coating applications to all four tires in good condition. Hope that helps!

Does this 303 Tire Balm provide any additional protection from UV or cracking of tires versus the traditional 303 Protectant? Or, is this a "thickened" version of the normal 303 spray designed to prevent tire sling only? Thanks.

Asked by: JcDcOg

Yes. This product features a different formula that does provide additional UV protection as well. Hope that helps!
