1) Whenever I use quick detailer I am never satisfied with the results. I usually get a streaky finish.
Example: Yesterday I washed my Jimmy using DC wash and dried it with a terry cloth and a leaf blower. My son woke up (he was napping) so I had to put a hold on the drying. Later yesterday, I went back to the garage and had some minor water marks and I also had a can of paste cleaner/wax. It got the pad damp and put on a very thin coat and buffed it off using a microfiber. Looked good expect for all the yellow dust but a few swipes with a clean microfiber took care of that.
I had to park outside (I'm visiting my parents) so this morning there was a thin coat of yellow pollen covering the Jimmy. I pulled it in the garage to load up some things, but my son in his car seat and figured, what the hell, I'll just use some quick detailer on it. I misted roughly a 3' by 3' section and used a clean microfiber to wipe it off. Looked great so I did the whole Jimmy, minus the roof. I backed out of the garage and ....
A milky streak all over my exterior, almost looking like swirl marks. So I grapped another clean microfiber and dry buffed the rest out. This always happens when I use quick detailer, though this way my first time using microfibers with it.
My second question relates to claying. I was claying my dad's 05 Tahoe's hood and I noticed that I was exactly picking up all contaminates. I would soak the area real well with QuickDetailer, then using just the weight of my hand rub the clay gently over the surface. Nothing really happened, except when the deatiler dried and I left clay on the surface. This is only the second time I have used the clay, first time was on the Jimmy (which I got some surface contaminets off the Jimmy but not all). Am I doing this wrong? I have read most of the posts pretaining to claying, and I swear I'm doing it right, but I still have contaminets on the surface and I leave clay marks everywhere (only because I start to push harder to try to get the clay to pick up what its missing). After I am done with a 2' by 2' section I wiped the detailer off with a microfiber, and did the whole hood. Once again the hood on his tahoe had the milky appearance left from the detailer.
