has not failed yet! you can really tell the difference on the street...
of course only if applied correctly. some people want to do a Warren Johnson burn-out using VHT,just do a small burn-out to clean the tires off then apply some VHT rotate the tires a few times in it and stage....i have had great success with it!

My car and Triggers car have both left pretty hard on the street thanks to VHT and our DRs.

VHT helps ANY tire hook, period. It is the sweet nectar of the gods.

The only reason I didnt have it on last night is because I forgot the tape, and some of us have nice cars and not hack boxes.

I remember someone sells a spray for the rear quarter panels to make the VHT not stick to the paint. never used it so I dont know if its worthy.

just put a light coat of wax on there (without wiping it off), when you get home you can wipe the wax off...no vht, no tire rubber.

I don't know how well this works with VHT. But a light coat of Pam cooking spray on the rear quarters makes the rubber come of ridiculously easy!

For the street I put it on the ground after we lay some rubber down, we mix it with some alcohol and then light it on fire. When it goes out it will pull your shoes off of your feet!

I've seen some guys pour some Coka Cola (yes the drink) on the ground and let it sit for a while then do some burnouts over top of it. And yes, it works believe it or not.

those do work, but there a little harder to clean. the wax and rubber wipe right off, whereas the rubber wipes off with pam and wd40, but the film is still there...
