Carpro Darkside; blotchy, streaky??

[Coatingsarecrack]

The tires are Nokian, brand new but probably are 2 months old since they came out of the factory. When I cleaned them with the drill brush, there was no brown, it was just white suds from the Brake Buster. Then Tarminator wipe.
They are still off the car, inside, so I applied the dressing inside. They are to be installed on the car in 2 days.
I'm gonna try again on the 2 tires I haven't dressed yet. I'll apply a coat of Darkside and wipe/level right away.
Maybe it's because I'm looking at the tires up close, on the car they may not look streaky.
Not sure if a second coat will help, or maybe a top coat of a different gel; I have some old Wolfgang, it's a liquid now but I still used it before winter when the car was new; however, those were the OEM tires, Bridgestones.

Clean them at least 2-3 times with the drill brush and BB. If you have an APC try that once. Better too much cleaning than not enough.

Don't apologize. As an old boss of mine used to say "the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked". That's what these forums are here for.

I'm Canadian, it's what we do, haha.

Too late to clean any more. After 2 coats of Darkside now, worked in and wiped, the tires don't look too bad.
Having them installed today, I'll post a pic later.
