If only you knew the power of the DarkSide - D.V. CARPRO DarkSide is an all new, durable, hydrophobic, and easy to use tire & rubber nano-sealant! CARPRO DarkSide leaves a stunning, dark, rich appearance to the surface! It also comes packed with CARPRO’s famous self-cleaning and hydrophobic properties that bead dirt and water off like crazy! DarkSide also boasts top shelf UV protection to protect against rubber degeneration, whilst maintaining the supple feel and rich color of treated surfaces.

We can’t wait for the rest of you to get your hands on DarkSide! Estimated arrival at Sky's the Limit Car Care is first week of December 2022! Features: Dark rich finish. Exceptional dirt repellency.

Review: The GOAT of tire dressing! This stuff is amazing! The consistency makes it very easy to apply evenly. I like using the hexagon type applicator pads, which are perfect for Darkside. Once primed, 1-2 squirts on the applicator is all that is needed for my low profile tire. I also get no sling when applied correctly. Be aware that there is a cure time of 1-2 hours to apply properly. Also key to clean the tire well to remove old dressings and browning. The finish is perfect, in my opinion. Gives a low level gloss and makes the tires look like new. Not overly glossy or wet looking. The smell is not bad and seems to be low VOC—I put on in my closed garage with no issues. One thing that really stands out is the durability. I have tried a number of other products and nothing that really has the durability of this product. It is even fairly resistant to chemical treatments and can survive a few maintenance washes. I think the finish looks good for at least ~6 weeks in normal driving conditions. The price is a bit more than other products, but the quality and duration are worth it to me.
Review: Adds a nice dark matte finish that lasts for months.
