While applying it, I noticed the product never seemed to absorb into the smooth sidewalls like it did to the Pirelli's on another of my vehicles.
When mine were new (contiprocontacts) the coating didn't stick to them in certain places, but now I have no issues with it.

The tires look like the product was never applied. They are grey mottled like what you would expect from undressed tires on a daily driver.
The next time the car is in my driveway, I'll provide some pics. My daughter is driving it to/from college each day and it's three weeks from finals...you get the idea.
Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
I applied mine in December and it's just now losing luster. They are still deep black and easy to clean but it's about time for another coat or two. I found that cleaning and removing all oils is crucial for it to stick.
Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
Desert, we've been finding out that some tires either need an extra good cleaning or more coats due to it absorbing into the tire.
Keep us posted !

Yeah, the Michelin winters I coated in early November are still black, if somewhat less "deep"-looking. True, they were not driven much, but they were outside 24/7. I'll do another coat in the fall when they go on again.

I'm wanting to use the TW endura tire coating on tires with raised white lettering, do I immediately wipe the white lettering clean with an alcohol solution once the tire coating gets on them? Thanks.

I'd say yes, no doubt about it and would love to see how that turns out [emoji6]

I wrapped an old low knap MF towel (glass towel) around a wood block in order to make towel flat so I would only be touching the top surface of the letters. It was a scrap piece of 2x2 about 6" long. I applied IPA to the cloth and wiped. It worked very well and did not mess up the rest of the coating.
