Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus Question

[Pumpkinfish]

I have been detailing my Niece's 1995 Mustang (will post pictures soon, waiting for the sun to come back out) and used the Ultima Tire & Trim on her trim and tires. It looked great until the product dried and now it looks a little streaky and kind of dull. I am not sure if I did something wrong in the application or the trim and tires were just that beat. Any tips would be appreciated.

For the record, I had just washed the car and dried it. Did a few coats of wax then did the trim so it should have been bone dry. I shook the bottle and put a little on the included applicator then wiped on.

Not sure. I have never had that problem. Try another coat. Maybe the tires and trims just absorbed so much of the product that you're left with a splotchy appearance.

^ more than likely that is the case. if the trim is really dried out and sun beaten it's probably just absorbed it in. I did one car where it took 3-4 coats before it finally was evened out.

Do I need to buff this when it finally looks good or is this an apply and let dry type of product?

Apply and let dry. Im also assuming the trim may have just absorbed a lot of the product, try a few more coats. Excellent stuff and seems to last for a while

I know it sounds like your using that product and are having problems on the trim but I wanted to share with you guys. this is the best tire shine I have ever used. its not oil, it doesnt sit there and fling, its a tire clearcoat and once dries it makes it permanent. its ridiculous how well it works

Don't take this wrong but.... Do you know what Ultima Tire & Trim Guard is? It's in the same league of tire shines and trim guards. It's another "nano" product that lasts immensely longer than a standard tire shine.

I would also make sure you vigorously shake the bottle before use. What part of the vehicle are you apply it to that it's giving you a problem?

It was the mirrors. After 7 coats they finally looked good. I need to get the photos together to make a post.
