If you look carefully at the pic below of the wheel/tire of my Chevy Colorado, you'll see spots on the tire where it looks like Adam's VRT did not hold. This was the same on every tire. The tire in the pic below was the worst as the VRT clinged itself to about [at best] 30-percent of the tire. It's hard to see in the pic but almost the entire RHS of that tire just didn't want to come to the VRT party.
Why is that?
The tires have about 2K on them as I purchased them brand new around August of 2010. I've never, till this day, had any tire dressing on them of any kind. Just washed and dried it the "normal" method.
The cleaning process [done two days ago] prior to VRT application was as follows -
Non Adam's car wash
Scrubbed with a tire/wheel brush while car wash's suds were still tacked on
Hosed off thoroughly with a trickle of water
Generously sprayed Adam's All Purpose Cleaner soon thereafter
Scrubbed again with a tire/wheel brush
Hosed again with a stream [pressure] from an ordinary garden nozzle
Wiped any stading water off [immediately] with quality MF towel
Given one application with Adam's Super VRT Tire Dressing soaked into an Adam's VRT Dressing Sponge and repeated the application immediately on all four wheels
Looked great for about 15-20 mins [tops] and then the void spots appeared and stand as you see it to this day. The picture was snapped about an hour after the deatailing was completed.
Now I know it's NOT Adam's Super VRT dressing because no other vehicle in our driveway has this problem..... and four of our six rides are dressed with Adam's Super VRT on the tires.
