QD+ Streaking - 10-12-2009, 08:58 AM

Has anyone had issues with streaking and QD+?? I can't seem to get the hang of this product. It looks awesome on my light colored cars (white etc) but on my black 350Z and red F150 I am getting streaks no matter what I do.

The cars are done in the garage and not in the sun and the surfaces are always cool.

I love this product but must be doing something wrong. I have tried using more, less, and using different sprayers.

Steve any input?

Less product, more buffing.


Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It's good to be da King !!!

use less and try different towels ... are you using a trigger sprayer or a fine mister like this ?

then I'd say a little extra buffing or spraying on a cloth first might be the way to go

Sounds like the problem is solved so to speak. I tend to use what works, I have never had streaking problems but you never know when and why with products. Try using 1 over another and see what works best???????????? I don't know what to say at this point.
