How to Choose Wholesale Tyre Shine and Car Care Products?

Which product should I choose when buying wholesale tyre shine?

For a car wash or detailing business, buy START Tyre Shine; it comes in a 5 KG canister, 4 per case. Its label says it is applied by spraying onto the tyre and sponge, so plan spray bottles and application sponges alongside the canister.

The product is in the car care chemicals category. All vehicle products, including shampoo, foam and washer fluid, are on the car care products page.

Which products are added alongside tyre shine?

• TETİK Car Wash Foam — with Wax: Applied to the vehicle surface with foam machines; it softens dirt while adding shine to the paint. For application see how to use car wash foam.
• TETİK Power Silicone Surface Cleaner: Belongs to the surface cleaners group; in a car care business it is added as a separate item for interior plastics. It is not for tyres: how to use silicone surface cleaner.
• START Car Shampoo: For the washing step before tyre shine. Product and canister choice is covered separately in the wholesale car shampoo guide.
• START Antifreeze Windscreen Washer Fluid: Added to the list in winter for the vehicle's washer fluid reservoir. It does not go in the engine coolant reservoir.

How should each type of business buy?

• Car wash and detailer: Tyre shine is one of the last steps in the washing sequence. Request the 5 KG canister in the same quote as foam and shampoo. Full list: car wash supplies.
• Dealership and showroom: Used for appearance before vehicle handover. Other products are in the car dealership cleaning supplies guide.
• Fleet vehicle care: Fleets that wash vehicles on their own site can add the product to their care list; record how many vehicles' tyres it is applied to.
• Wholesaler: If you will sell to businesses, note in your warehouse plan that the 5 KG canister comes 4 per case; for dealership see the dealership and distribution page.

How do you transfer from the 5 KG canister to an application bottle?

• Use a clean, empty spray bottle; do not fill one that still contains another product.
• Write the product name on each bottle. Unlabelled bottles lead to products being mixed up.
• Do not transfer the product next to a vehicle; wipe up spills at once.
• Close the canister cap tightly, take bottles back to the store at the end of the day and do not leave them in the sun.
• To use the same amount on each vehicle, a metered spray bottle or sponge application can be preferred.
• Keep the sponge for tyres only and do not let it touch the paint.

What should staff instructions say?

• Preparation: Wash and dry the tyre. Do not apply to a dirty or wet tyre.
• Application: Wipe or spray the product onto the tyre sidewalls in a thin layer with a sponge or applicator.
• Prohibited areas: Do not apply to the tyre tread, brake discs or pedals.
• Overspray: Wipe off any product that gets on the rim or paint immediately.
• Motorcycle: Do not use on motorcycle tyres: how to wash a motorcycle.
• Interior: Do not apply the silicone cleaner to the dashboard, screens, glass, seats, pedals, mats, steering wheel or gear knob.
• All the steps are in the how to use tyre shine guide.

What should you watch for when buying tyre shine wholesale?

• Label: The application method and warnings are on the packaging label. When comparing quotes, check that the use stated on the label suits your business.
• Application method: Will staff use spray or sponge? Plan the equipment along with the product.
• Appearance: With tyre shines, matte, satin and high-gloss looks vary with the product type and application. Ask about the look START Tyre Shine gives, by product name, when you request a quote.
• Product type: Water-based and solvent-based products behave differently. If you need technical information on START Tyre Shine, ask by product name when requesting a quote.
• Changing product: When switching to a new product, empty and wash the bottles; do not mix the two products.
• Documents: if a document or form is required for the purchase, write which one you want, with the product name.

How do I work out how many canisters to buy?

A single figure would not be accurate; consumption varies with tyre size, application method and staff habits. The most reliable way is to measure in your own business.

• Note the day you open a canister and the day you finish it.
• Count how many vehicles you treated in that period.
• Compare consumption with sponge and with spray; put the thin-layer rule in your instructions.
• Record foam, shampoo and tyre shine separately, and request them as separate items in the quote.

How should canisters be stored and moved?

• Store canisters in their original packaging with the cap tightly closed. Label warning: do not leave in sunlight; keep out of reach of children.
• Protect products from freezing in winter.
• Keep cases and canisters upright when carrying them. Wipe up spills at once; the product can make the surface it touches slippery.
• Do not mix the product with other cleaning products: can cleaning products be mixed.
• For warehouse organisation see the cleaning product storage and transport guide.

What should I include in a car care quote request?

• Product: Product name and product code; each product on its own line.
• Packaging: 5 KG for tyre shine; the packaging you want for the other products.
• Quantity: Your need in cases or canisters; for regular purchases, your estimated monthly consumption.
• Application: Spray, sponge or both.
• Delivery city: the city the goods will go to.
• Business type: Car wash, detailer, dealership, fleet, wholesaler or dealer.
