This is not true, I've had mine done for probably 6 months or more and they still look great. I hit em with a pressure washer, some Simple Green, scrub, then rinse, still look new. Every once in a while I use tire shine on them since it's rubber, makes them look glossy. The stuff isn't just going to peel on its own if you prep well(clean, dry, alcohol wipe) before spraying them. If you do get a spot that gets scratched or starts to peel use some paint thinner to smooth the spot out and put another coat on. Mine have even been through a tire change (when I went from winter tires back to the stock ones) I did have to do a touch up but that was it. There is even a video on www.dipyourcar.com on how to do spot fixes. Super easy to do and easy to undo if you want to as well.

Here's what mine look like after all they have been through:


All of them look like this (they haven't been cleaned in a few days) Don't look at my dent
