Hi, I'm using the product after a long night of fog n mist. This morning I came out to use some of this product on my car (black paint) using a microfiber towel and drying it... i noticed a whole bunch of streaks... big globs of streak that look like wax. am I doing something wrong. I washed the car about 5 days ago...

I washed /w a decent shampoo, did the whole paint cleaner thing, put on a polish, and then finally wax...


Maybe the wax is streaking??

That's really strange. I use Meguiars Quik Detailer and it doesn't streak, mostly because you're supposed to wipe it off right away. In my experience, streaks usually come from some external substance drying on the car (usually water or soapy water). It seems unlikely that the wax you applied would streak...

It also streaks when you dont put enough elbow grease into the application - this is more obvious as you apply more product. You need to heat the product up with some friction for best results and a lack of streaks. Unfortunately, black is not forgiving for anything less than maximum elbow grease.
