BRZN

I've got a few
 
The first car I bought myself, a 1972 MG Midget

 
Learned a lot of my mechanical skills on this thing

LOL!
 
My 1979 Jeep CJ-5

 
My Ford Torino 429 Cobra Jet, 1972 I think

 
Lastly the Mini Bike my Dad and I built in the winter of 1970 with plans out of the back of Boys Life Magazine, with the horizontal shaft Briggs and Stratton motor off his lawn mower.

 
After I rebuilt the motor in 9th grade Power Mechanics class

I feel the Leather & Interior Cleaner is the stronger of the two. Same as Rich, I've used Aqua Net Hair Spray to remove ink. I've also used Lacquer Thinner to take care of some nasty stains, be sure to try in an inconspicuous spot first, it could remove the leather's dye.
 
The All Purpose Interior Cleaning Gel doesn't seem to leave the leather with the same dry feel as the Leather & Interior Cleaner.

Chris, I suggested he try cleaning with the TAR in my post farther up the thread. The TAR, or Stoner's Bug and Sap Remover helps to strip the tires clean. He then followed up, also my suggestion, by scrubbing them again with Wheel & Tire Cleaner. He cut the Wheel & Tire Cleaner 50%, not my suggestion, I use it full strength.
 
If you let the rubber heat up in the sun as I'd suggested, the pores of the rubber opened up some and allowed the VRT to soak in. You needed to continue to reapply until the tire stops absorbing and you get your desired results. The Dressings can't be rejected off the tire, it's still there, it just needs built up.

Different tire manufacturer's rubber compounds react differently to different chemicals, this includes cleaners and dressings/coatings.
 
How I prep new tires for Tire Armor, Tire Coating;
I work with them off the vehicle.
I scrub them thoroughly, twice, using the Tire Brush with Tire & Rubber Cleaner, or Wheel & Tire Cleaner, rinsing in-between and after.
Spray the tire down with Adams Tar or Stoners Tar and Sap Remover (work fast, out of the sun and try not to get any on the wheel to minimize the chance for damage) and scrub again using the Tire Brush.
Rinse thoroughly
Scrub one more time with Tire & Rubber Cleaner or Wheel & Tire Cleaner.
Wipe or Blow the tire completely dry.
If there's still white residue around any of the letters/numbers on the tire repeat the process until there's none. This is the mold release agent you want to remove.
Lay the tires in the direct sun, or use a heat gun to heat up the rubber. This will open the pores of the rubber up allowing the Tire Armor to soak into the tire rather than simply sitting on the surface.
I apply as many coats, waiting 20 minutes between coats, until I reach my desired amount of gloss.
I maintain the Tire Armor with Graphene Tire Dressing after each wash.
 
My brand new Vredestein tires have four coats of Tire Armor and the pictures of the car are two months after application:

 

 

 
The brand new Bridgestone's on the Camaro also received four coats of Tire Armor:

 

Outside under a tent could possibly be the issue. If pollen was heavy in the air (as it has been here in Central PA the past several weeks) while you were applying the coating, it would have been landing on the paint. The pollen would have affected the coating's ability to properly bond.

The Team will be arriving today (Monday April 19th) around noon to begin set up. We should be open for business and detailing around noon on Wednesday. There are still detailing slots available if your interested.
 
Stop on by if in the area!

We'll be on the Midway Row IE Spaces 125-130. Same spot we're usually in.

Don't know yet, they don't release that info until the week before the event. But my guess is the same spot we've been at the past several years. Just look for the 25' inflatable Detail Spray bottle on top of our trailer on the midway, can't miss it.

I apply the Ceramic Spray Coating every year (overtop a Ceramic Coated vehicle), sometimes at a six month interval depending on time. Wash and Clay the vehicle. You'll have to determine which clay to use depending on the severity of contaminants embedded in the paint after washing; Fine, Medium Visco, or the Clay Mitt. If you've not washed at all throughout the winter it may need the more aggressive Visco Clay. Once clayed, evaluate the paint for marring and scratches. I usually get away with just some spot polishing, not the entire vehicle again. There's only so much paint on the vehicle, and polishing is slowly removing small amounts. I keep my cars quite a while and hate having to get panels re-painted because I got carried away. With proper wash techniques and not going overly aggressive while claying (use plenty of lubrication and don't use too mush pressure) the paint's still in fine shape overall.

Can you get part of the truck inside the garage?
If so, Ceramic coat half one day, then the next day turn it around and do the other half.
 
At Carlisle Events My Adam's Team will Ceramic Spray Coat or use the traditional 50 or 60ml bottles to Ceramic Coat vehicles on the Fairgrounds. We apply under our canopy to keep out of direct sunlight, then move the vehicle out into the sun to try to more quickly allow it to cure. We've not noticed, or heard of, any issues to date.

Compressed air and a Detailing Brush if it's still dry. get to it quickly!

Amazing how much better a "new" car looks after a decontamination and polish! Customers usually state something along the lines of, "it looks better than when I drove it home".
