I love the new Tire Shine, but it seems like in my applications it just does not have the longevity of VRT. I first noticed it on the tires on my CTS-V (Hankooks). Then confirmed this when I did a customer's GMC Terrain (Michelins). The tires looked great when it left! Saw the SUV one week later and the tires were kind of dull. Pictures below. I guess each tire takes to each chemical differently. Just finished detail: One week later:

Love them Vagons. Looks good!

Nick, no gallon size tire shine? Maybe I missed it on the website?

Will boil and clean as my Adams towels as normal, and also try a longer setup time with the QS. Thanks for tips. Love this forum. Ill report back soon.

No it was a freshly cleaned SS towel, and my other SS towels worked fine with other products I used (another company sealant -not a spray like Adams QS, and then Adams Buttery Wax). I'll boil and try again and also try photograph the issue.

Can someone explain the boiling process so I can try that ASAP? Is there anything special to it? I want to make sure I do it right and try the Quick Sealant/SS towel again for confirmation.

Towels are 1.5 yrs old, if that. Washed with only microfibers, with some apc, and liquid laundry detergent, never bleached. Never been boiled ( maybe time to try that?). All microfiber dried in dryer on reg heat. But the single softs towels don't lint when removing polish or waxes as I used them to finish the job- ie, other guys sealant and buttery wax removed with 4 other different single softs. All single softs were washed with the ss towel that "linted" with the Quick sealant. I also let the spot haze for 1 minute tops. I thinking its the product causing the lint, not the towels.

So I was detailing a buddies 2003 Topaz Blue Metallic M3 this past Saturday which I had a strange issue happen to me with Quick Sealant. it was about 70ish degrees out and mostly cloudy while I was doing the car. Maybe a little more humid then average humidity but nothing crazy I stripped the car with Adams Car shampoo, some, Dawn, and some Adams APC. Rinsed thoroughly. Clayed the entire car, then washed again with just Car Shampoo. Dried with Adams Detail Spray and my waffle weave towel. I pulled out my Sealant applicator (marked with "S" so it only sees Sealant ever, and cleaned/dried thoroughly before using) and shook it well, then sprayed on the applicator and started with a 2x2 section on the hood. Let it haze a bit and wiped off with a clean Adams single soft. This is where the problem occurred-It seemed like the sealant wouldn't wipe off clean and left behind some of the actual fibers of the towel on the hood where the sealant was applied with the applicator. Tried to wipe clean and it seemed to spread the fibers of the towel even worse. It was very frustrating and I actually switched a different brand sealant to finish that coat/car. The issue didn't happen with the other guys sealant when I went to "plan B". No pics as I was trying to be efficient and didn't have time to stop and photograph said problem. Anything you can think of that I'm doing wrong? I've used the Adam Quick sealant prior with no issue but I have about 3 cans of it that I'm not wanting to reach for now. Any input? I appreciate you feedback.
