Default Adam's VRT Question

I recently got some of this to do the lower black part of the car along with the rubber side molding, however I have a quick question on it. I washed the car last night and then put the product on and the car looked great. As fate would have it the rain started as soon as I was done and now this morning the lowers look faded out and the rubber trim looks like the product just ran right off. Does it take a bit of time to set or can any one provide insight.

Thanks,

Try a second application. Sometimes the first soaks in, and the 2nd evens it all out.

Default VRT will fade out eventually under the elements

a good rain shower can cause it to fade especially on the first coat. A few layers and coats and up keep will prevent if from fading as fast.

Thanks for the tips. Will apply a second coat and make sure to apply regularly.

Good tip - I didn't realize you could layer the VRT...
