 It's wonderfully easy to just spray on, but don't forget to wipe it down 5
 or ten minutes later so it doesn't spray all over the bottom of the car as
 you drive off.  I've been using it for about 5 months, and a day or 2 after
 I put it on, particularly if it rains, the tires look dinghy grey again. >>

I have some first hand experience with this product (my former neighbor is 
one of their head engineering/marketing people.  He used to give me the 
stuff...I had no problems like you have had at all...I highy recommend it 
(although since my neighbor moved I haven't used it<g>).  It always seemed to 
last alot longer than a few days and it did not leave my tires "grey" 
looking.  Maybe it was the rubber compound in your tires.
