Hey all,

I have noticed lately when I treat my tires with Z 16 or 303 that there are a few places that do not seem to cover well.It will cover but it appears to have a pattern of some kind on the rubber.I have cleaned the tires thinking something was on them but did'nt help.Maybe I need something stronger to clean them.Any ideas:confused:
 
Something like checkerboard or polka dots? ;)



I think you are describing a blotchy look, like the product wasn't applied evenly. Am I correct?



If this is true, it may have be caused by "blooming" of the tire. The tires have a wax in them that escapes the pores of the sidewalls to protect them from UV damage. Sometimes a protectant will clash with the blooming process and produce a streaky, blotchy look.



I noticed this when I used Black Again on my tires. There also seems to be an effect when silicone-based products are used on tires. After a few treatments of BA, the appearance of the sidewalls evened out.



Anyway, that's my two pennies. Hope it helps.
 
This could be some residue from some silicone from previous dressings that you'v used on your tire. You may want to try something a bit stronger such as Eiman Fabrik Hi Intensity and scrub them very well. At least that's what I'm thinking right now. A pic would help clarify things a bit though. Laters.
 
i have been using extreme black dressing on my truck tires with white letters and trying to avoid going over the letters. well today i went over the letters and they got whiter. i immediately went back to the other tires as this stuff actually cleans white lettering too. i know lettering kinda played out but these are the tires that came on the truck so until i get new ones i'll have white lettering and a new way to clean them...
