I remember some discussions previously where people mentioned Opti-Seal generally looking better and being slicker to feel 12 hours after application - the thinking back then was that the additional curing time allowed all of the solvents to completely flash off and the product to cross-link and polymerize. I’m wondering if a similar process might not be in play here, given that Hyper Seal seems to be based on Opti-Seal.

I then applied Collinite 845, to give its longevity a test in the Australian summer, I'm amazed at how far Collinite spreads, I've done at least 4 coatings with it, and I've used barely an inch at the top of the bottle.
I've given up on de-browning the tyres, so I just coated them with Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing.
Finally, I gave the glass a wipe down with Angelwax Vision.

Drill brush and 303 Tire & Rubber will get the brown out.

I haven't seen that in our auto shops, and it's not available from our online detailing sites. The TW cleaner I've been trying is removing lots of brown, but the size and thickness of the sidewalls I'm dealing with means it could take quite a few goes at it. I'm happy I tried, but I think I'll just be covering it now on. Thanks for the info though.

I doubt that has any reason to why you are seeing it bead differently. I suspect it is getting wet too soon. I am sure Optimum states that but most sealants and coatings benefit from not getting wet for the first 24 hours. This includes dew as well. The other thing to consider is to panel wipe the area after those strip washes to ensure the surface is free from any surfactants. I did that on my video prior to applying it.

Oh, slight miscommunication, I have the brush attachments for my drill, but the 303 tire cleaner isn't available here, that I can find.
And yes, cleaning tyres is a real PITA, especially when you occasionally get them as dirty as I do. Although now that I'm working again, I haven't found the time to go off-roading for a while, I hate going on weekends when all the knuckleheads are out, they just want to go full throttle at every puddle.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Got up to 45 so I did a rinseless wash. We went to lunch with a dirty car and my wife came up to the door and acted like she wrote “wash me”. She was so wrong! I was planning to wash it anyway today but especially after she pulled that.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Washed my 5th wheel, and ran out of soap on board after one side.
Picked up a bOttle of Megs wash & wax in a pinch.
Very foamy. Really decent product. I slightly feel like I’ve been stolen from all these years buying boutique soaps..
