Date Prepared: 06-12-2023


Section 1. Identification

1.1 Product Identifier

CAR GUYS Tire Shine Spray

1.2 Relevant Identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against

Identified uses: A proprietary polymer-based tire and trim dressing. Spray-on dressing that coats tire sidewalls to provide UV protection, hydration, and a customizable shine level (high-gloss wet look or satin finish). Applies milky in color and turns clear when dry. Also works as a dressing on wheel wells, and on interior and exterior rubber, plastic, and vinyl trim surfaces including dashboards, door panels, center consoles, and tonneau covers (rubber, vinyl, or plastic types only).

Uses advised against: Never apply to tire tread (creates a dangerously slippery driving surface). Not for use on motorcycle tires or bicycle tires (creates a slippery surface on two-wheeled vehicles). Do not apply to steering wheels, brake pedals, clutch pedals, or shift knobs (polymer residue makes grip surfaces dangerously slick). Do not allow excess product to drip onto concrete driveways or pavers (can leave dark staining that is difficult to remove).

Section 4. First Aid Information

4.1 First Aid Measures

  • Eyes: Flood with large amounts water at least 20 min.; get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. Can cause irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision.

  • Skin: Flush exposed area with water. Remove all contaminated clothing. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause moderate irritation.

  • Inhalation: If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep person warm, calm, and get medical attention.

Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures

5.1 Flash Point

250°F

5.2 Autoignition Temperature

Not determined

5.3 Flammability Limits in Air

Not determined

5.4 Extinguishing Media

Carbon dioxide (CO2) water spray. Dry chemical foam can be used to cool fire-exposed containers.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

6.1 Containment/Clean Up

Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide information regarding certain Federal and local requirements. Collect for disposal. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent. For large spills provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. Clean area as appropriate as some silicone material, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require steam, solvents or detergents. Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8 of this MSDS. Observe all Federal and government regulations that may apply to the cleanup of this material.
