One question. Are you saying...(i) immediately after applying the paragon you add the coppertone or (ii) apply paragon, wait 15minutes...then apply coppertone and wait another 15minutes?

When you apply the coppertone, glob it on? or apply nominal coverage?

I've never done this before and want to make sure I get it right.

Hey Carl,

Put the Paragon on and let it sit, I've even gone as far as to put on surgical gloves and rub it in to the tire. After letting the Paragon soak for 15 mins. then apply an even coating of sunscreen. I put on enough so the tire begins to look grey, not a big white blob, just an even coat. You're basically just using the sunscreen to keep the Paragon from evaporating.
