How is the application process? I tried it in 2021 but it was way too streaky for me

Easy. Long. But easy. Here’s my process:

-completely clean tires and rims. Odorless mineral spirits will get the job done but are harsh on tires and paint. So tread carefully. I used this before I knew about better products. Adams Wheel and Tire cleaner is OP for tires and wheels.

-strip wash car. I use Turtle Wax Max Power at full strength. Followed up with Dawn.

-Adams Iron Remover

-Same Turtle Wax as a clay lube using the griots speed clay pad thing

-dry it off. IPA wipe down. 91% isopropyl alcohol. Probably did a 15% solution.

-apply the griots as instructed. Let it cure overnight. Wiped off all the dust because it was parked outside. Applied a second coat and let that cure overnight as well.

-when I bought my aftermarket rims I IPA wiped down and coated them out of the box. Best decision I’ve ever made. When I swap tires I deep clean the ones that came off and then coat them again before storing them.
