Technician’s Choice TEC99217 Instant Shine Classic Aerosol is a professional-grade, silicone-based conditioning spray designed to deliver an instant, high-gloss shine with minimal effort. Specifically formulated for use on vinyl, rubber, plastic, and painted interior and exterior surfaces, TEC99217 offers long-lasting protection while enhancing the appearance of treated areas with a rich, deep gloss. Whether you're working on engine compartments, trim pieces, tires, or interior panels, this product delivers fast, professional results.
TEC99217 penetrates deeply into porous surfaces, restoring suppleness to faded and dried-out materials while leaving behind a waterproof barrier that repels dust, dirt, and moisture. This barrier not only enhances appearance but helps protect treated surfaces from UV rays, oxidation, and environmental contaminants that can cause cracking and fading over time. The fast-drying, non-chlorinated formula makes it a reliable option for use in both interior and exterior applications, especially in hard-to-reach areas where traditional trigger sprayers fall short.
Thanks to its easy aerosol application, TEC99217 eliminates the common issues associated with trigger sprayers, such as clogging and uneven dispersion. It applies a thin, even layer with each spray and dries quickly without the need for wiping or buffing, making it an ideal choice for express services and production detailing. Fortified with high-quality silicone, it ensures a long-lasting, glossy finish that keeps surfaces looking freshly detailed for weeks.

How Long Will the Product Last After Application?
Under typical conditions, TEC99217 Instant Shine can maintain its gloss and protection for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on environmental exposure and use. Engine bay and interior applications may see longevity extend toward the higher end of that range, while exterior trim and tires may require more frequent reapplication due to weather and road conditions.
Finish and Residues
The product leaves a high-gloss, non-greasy finish that repels water and minimizes dust adhesion. Surfaces feel slick but dry to the touch shortly after application. There is no heavy residue or sling when applied correctly.
Scent
TEC99217 features a light fruity fragrance, providing a pleasant, clean scent during and shortly after application without lingering odors in the vehicle.
Step-by-Step Application Process
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and dry prior to application for maximum adhesion and appearance.
- Shake Well: Shake the aerosol can thoroughly before each use.
- Apply: Hold the can upright 8-10 inches from the surface. Spray a light, even coat over the area to be treated.
- No Wiping Needed: Allow the product to dry on its own—there is no need to buff or wipe unless desired for a lower-gloss finish.
- Repeat: For higher gloss or heavily faded surfaces, apply a second light coat after the first has dried.
Best Practices
- Use in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to minimize inhalation of vapors.
- Avoid spraying on brake pedals, steering wheels, or any surface where a slick finish may be unsafe.
- Apply light coats to avoid excess buildup or dripping.
- Store the can upright in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Shake the can intermittently during use for consistent application.
Safety Information
- Flammable: Do not use near open flames or hot surfaces.

- Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.
- Avoid contact with eyes; flush with water if contact occurs.
