Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaking
Ensure tyres are perfectly clean and dry before application. Shake the can thoroughly and maintain a consistent distance and spraying speed. Remove any excess product immediately after application with a clean cloth.
Product not drying to a gloss
Verify the can was shaken sufficiently. Ensure application occurred in appropriate temperatures (avoid extreme cold). If applied too thickly, it may take longer to cure. Ensure no moisture is present on the tyre before application.
