You can spend hours washing and polishing the paintwork, but if the tyre sidewalls are looking grey and patchy, the finished result never quite looks right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBetter Dressed is a solvent-based tyre and rubber dressing developed to restore that deep, dark appearance. Combining mineral oils and silicones, it's designed to condition the appearance of weathered rubber and leave a rich, clean sheen rather than an excessively greasy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat appeals to us about this type of dressing is its straightforward approach. You aren't trying to achieve an artificial, soaking-wet appearance. You're bringing the colour back to tired rubber, evening out the finish and giving the tyres a properly maintained look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formulation is also designed with durability in mind. Once applied correctly and allowed to settle, Better Dressed resists rain and detergent washing. That's particularly useful on a daily-driven car, where tyres are exposed to water, road grime and frequent cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's worth being sensible about durability claims, though. There isn't a confirmed manufacturer figure for the number of weeks or months Better Dressed will last. The results will depend on tyre condition, preparation, application and the conditions the vehicle encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any tyre dressing, preparation makes a real difference. If the sidewalls are covered in old product, ingrained grime and road film, applying more dressing over the top won't give you the most consistent result. We'd always start with a dedicated clean, using a product such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bettercarcare.co.uk\/products\/better-versatility-all-purpose-cleaner\" title=\"Better Versatility All Purpose Cleaner\"\u003eBetter Versatility\u003c\/a\u003e at a suitable dilution and a proper tyre cleaning brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the rubber has been thoroughly rinsed and dried, Better Dressed can be applied using a suitable foam applicator or dressing brush. We'd recommend starting with a small amount and working it evenly into the textured sidewall, paying attention to raised lettering and the area close to the wheel rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLess is generally more. A thin, even application looks better than a heavily saturated tyre and helps reduce the likelihood of excess dressing being thrown onto the bodywork once you start driving. Allow it to settle and remove any excess before using the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough tyres are its most obvious application, Better Dressed is also intended for compatible exterior rubber components, including mud flaps and rubber trim. This makes it useful for restoring a consistent, well-maintained appearance across several areas of the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne consideration is the solvent-based formulation. This isn't the product we'd choose for interior trim or areas where grip is essential. Keep it away from tyre treads, pedals, braking components and driving surfaces, and use it with appropriate ventilation and precautions against ignition sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, Better Dressed is a practical, professional-style finishing product. It delivers the darker appearance people want from a tyre dressing, with a weather-resistant finish and a choice of 1L or economical 5L containers. Clean the rubber properly, apply it carefully and let the finish speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product data items-content key-features\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product.keyfeatures\" class=\"data item content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-title-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-title\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"base\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-features-container\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature key-feature-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-title\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-value\"\u003eDEEP SHEEN\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-note\"\u003e(Rich, dark appearance)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature key-feature-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-title\"\u003eFormula\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-value\"\u003eSOLVENT-BASED\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-note\"\u003e(Mineral oils and silicones)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature key-feature-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-title\"\u003eResistance\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-value\"\u003eWEATHER \u0026amp; WASH\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"kf-note\"\u003e(Resists rain and detergents)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- DESCRIPTION --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product data items-content description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product.info.description\" class=\"data item content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-title-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-title\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"base\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Dressed Tyre \u0026amp; Trim Dressing\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solvent-based dressing designed to restore colour depth and leave a rich, dark finish on tyre sidewalls and compatible exterior rubber surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts blend of mineral oils and silicones helps refresh the appearance of faded rubber, while the weather-resistant formulation is designed to withstand rain and resist removal by ordinary washing detergents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to spread with a foam applicator, sponge or tyre dressing brush, Better Dressed produces an even, deep sheen when applied in thin layers.
