Unlike most tire appearance products and dressings, TireGuard is solvent-free, water based, environmentally friendly and will not damage tires. Most tire manufacturers recommend against the use of solvent-based tire dressings due to their destructive qualities.
Solvent-based dressings actually promote tire yellowing and cracking, and can destroy the UV and ozone protectants that are essential to the life, color and texture of a tire. TireGuard, on the other hand, contains the same UV and ozone protectants that are used in tire manufacturing and enhances tire longevity.
