A tire dressing composition is provided that includes petroleum distillates in which a polybutene or isobutene/butene copolymer is dissolved to form a clear solution. In the water-based approach, the polybutene or isobutene/butene copolymer was emulsified by a surfactant. A wetting agent is also present in the composition to render the composition self-levelling. The sprayable tire dressing composition provides a high gloss and good wettability to a tire surface that develops a uniform coating on the treated tire surface.
