Nice to post things that don’t work. I have never tried products that cover rubber, but rather items that can soak in. Btw, will be in LV tomorrow, would love to meet you in person!
This reminds me of a similar product failure I've had. Got a very expensive detailing set (hint the brand has a swiss flag on it), bought the hype, used it a couple times all ok and well, left it a couple of years in its logo'd bags and when I went to use it again all the plastic containers had disintegrated and all products were a nasty soup. Sane thing happened to the very expensive wax with so and so carnauba content, that was in another bag, wax tub had disintegrated and the wax was a crumbly powder...
Hello Gplus and seasons greetings! Yes its sometimes a shocker when we add some time to these things. Some of these things can be outstanding and some an utter disappointment.. Trial and error I guess is the way forward. Be safe this holiday season! and wishing you a happy healthy and prosperous new year! Cheers
Car look awesome mike👍 Even regular parts from reputable dealers can be frustrating. I spent at least an hour on my back under the car just yesterday trying to fit a new accelerator linkage , I realised eventually that the hole in the thing hadnt been drilled big enough to get the threaded rod through. I drilled it slightly larger and the thing went on immediately. Im still not convinced that something just 4 threads deep is going to hold out for any length of time but i guess ill find out one way or the other.😂
Hello Bike Thank you and seasons greetings Yes I am familiar with the linkage hook up under the car..Mine did not thread in very far either. The newer style aftermarket coupling was the part I had trouble with. I used locktite to be sure it stayed put. There is aways some surprises when restoring these old cars. Its a good think we have plenty of passion for it=) Cheers!
I found out what happened here you have to use another regular tire dressing for awhile like adams vrt until the tires dry, they offgas for quite awhile and when you seal the tires it gets trapped in your ceramic coating or whatever they make these tire coatings with i saw on the amazon reviews that the same thing happened to a guy with new tires on amazon reviews for lonestar coating and the guys in autogeek forums mention the allowing the tires to dry out and offgas they didnt mention the brown but I assume you got it real bad with ur extreme standards
You know what would have been a lot smarter than all that work trying to remove it?......just have a tire shop remove the tire and then re-install them with the other side facing outward. Probably cost less than $100 and take 30 minutes.
Prep is definitely the key to success with Dura Coat.
Looking great Mike. 👍🏻
Thanks Blonde and season greetings!

Thanks for the reply mike, PS ive been searching for your steering rack refurbish video , cant find it , the one with the rack on a wooden jig
@@Petrolhead912 Hello Bike, If my memory serves me its in the front control arms assembly video..I think I referred to it in a small clip there

You
May want to try just good old black shoe polish. The tires will look just like new rubber and not be too shiny.
Hello Pailin
Sounds like a great tip and I will surely give it a try
Cheers!
