Why does UQD Streak?

Re: Why does UQD Streak?

Must just be a temperature issue then as it's pretty darn hard to make a mistake with UQD, it's pretty "Bubba-Proof" right out of the bottle.

What happens when you use normal Quik Detailer?

I have no idea, i don't use normal QD.

But i have used NXT QD and that's problem free.

Re: Why does UQD Streak?

I am still betting on the fact that it is the towels.

The problem with microfiber is that while they do work fantastically well for a while, they tend to get loaded up with product and develop a hydrophobic ability. To test the condition of your towels, simply lay them flat, take a bottle of water, and slowly poor water over them. If it looks like it is beading on top of the towel, then they are loaded up, and need to either be tossed, or rejuvenated. FYI: I have done everything from letting them soak in degreaser to boiling them, and have never been able to rejuvenate them, so every 4-6 months or so when they get loaded up, I just buy new towels for the $40 it costs.

I never have streaking problems now. I have been thinking about buying some terry towels though and seeing how they respond to being loaded up with product like microfiber. If they don't experience the same thing, I think I may just have to resort to going back to the old terry towel ways simply for the lower price and just keep a few Ultimate Wipes for dry/finish buffing.

I think you might have hit it on the nail with this one.

I just tested my MF's and they bead.

No wonder i didn't have problems when i was using the NXT QD, my MFs were probably not loaded back then.
