Yes, they are back to being a single product. We figured out how to stop the streaking a few testers complained about and retain more gloss on tires.

This product is a combination of the RDF sealant and a fine polish. It is an essential component of the system because it properly cleans the surface for proper bonding of the sealant.

The spray sealant was pushed as far as we could push it until it became our new core sealant product. I started testing our spray as a wipe/spray on, walk away prior to the beta release. We could not make it a spray-on, walk away because it wasn't possible to get an even spray without using an aerosol. We opted for a wipe-on solution instead.

Interesting you should say this. The answer is no. The final development and solution to Paint Guard Plus came when we solved the formula problems with Tire & Trim. Once we found the secret to making Tire & Trim dry 100%, retain gloss and not streak, we knew what needed to be done to fix durability, gloss and slickness in our spray sealant. What we didn't expect is that the final results would out perform the original RDF sealant.
