I am surprised to hear that. One of the chanels I follow on youtube uses the Adam's paint sealant and he says he gets over a year if durability out of an application.

Adams seems to get great reviews on cleaners (APC, wheel cleaner, iron remover) and their QD. I haven’t heard much about any other products

Re: Semi Permanent Tire Coating Face Off
Nice test, Don! I prefer the look of Adams, but OPT will prolly last longer.

Re: Semi Permanent Tire Coating Face Off
This is great...thanks.
I have my own going on with my banged up daily driver:
Tuf Shine vs. Minwax Polycrylic Satin
Kind of my own version of cheap vs. expensive.

Re: Semi Permanent Tire Coating Face Off
Thank you so much for the update!
I do wonder if the rain during second coat, a long with wheel cleaner damaged the Opt? Hard for me to tell a difference on my little phone screen.
Thank you again for taking the time to do this thorough test.

Re: Semi Permanent Tire Coating Face Off
Not a dealbreaker, but front tires tend to take more of the brunt of abuse compared to the rear tires. It shouldn’t make a drastic difference but it might make some depending on alot of variables. Do you think it’s playing a factor in the results? Or no?
Just out of curiosity, what psi do you have your tires at? I’ve got a hunch they’re over inflated? Lol.
Thanks for posting your experiment with these products.

WOW, you are a pioneer.
Minwax for wood eh? I have used gallons of this stuff.
I know it is the bomb on wood.
Get a picture for me of the Polycrylic wheel for me.

I kind of assumed OPT would be more durable from the get go, so that’s why I applied to the fronts. Run 30 psi.
