Full details
The Bike-It Tyre Marker Pen is an ideal tool for automotive enthusiasts who want to customize their vehicle's aesthetic by highlighting tyre sidewall markings.

FAQs
Can I use this on the tread of the tyre?
No, this marker is designed specifically for sidewalls. Using it on the tread will cause the ink to wear off almost immediately due to road friction.
Does it work on any colour tyre?
Yes, the white ink is designed to provide high contrast against standard black rubber sidewalls.
How do I remove the ink if I make a mistake?
Fresh ink can often be removed with a cloth dampened with a mild solvent or a dedicated tyre cleaner; once cured, it is more resistant to removal.
Is the ink permanent?
It is formulated to be an indelible, long-lasting marker for exterior use, though it may require occasional touch-ups depending on driving conditions and tyre care.
Can I use tyre shine after applying?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours for the ink to fully cure before applying any silicone-based tyre dressings to avoid affecting the finish.
Troubleshooting
Ink is not flowing to the tip
Shake the marker vigorously and press the nib down onto a flat surface repeatedly to prime the pump mechanism.
Ink looks faint or streaky
Ensure the rubber is completely dry and free of silicone-based tyre dressings, which repel the ink; apply a second coat once the first is dry.
Ink flaking off after a short time
The surface was likely not cleaned sufficiently; remove old ink with a solvent and re-apply on a clean, degreased surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure the tyre sidewall is free from brake dust, oil, and road contaminants by scrubbing with a dedicated tyre cleaner or mild detergent and water. Shake the pen thoroughly with the cap on to mix the pigment. Depress the tip against a scrap piece of cardboard several times until the white ink saturates the nib. After use, wipe the tip clean and replace the cap tightly to prevent the marker from drying out. Store the pen in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
