Re: Ultimate Streaking

I've always head great results with regular megs QD, may just go back to that. I've never seen Meg's Gold Class High Gloss Detailer in any stores before. Were I to see it I would definitely give it a whirl though.

Waiting for it to stop raining every single day down here in Louisiana, then I'm going to try again with nothing but brand new MF towels for awhile and see if that makes any difference.

Walmart, $7.47 a bottle in my area.

Re: Ultimate Streaking

I have gotten streaks from UQD or UQW on occasion and it usually happens from either spraying far too much product, using a towel that is overly saturated and failing to turn quickly enough to a dry side for a final pass or trying to work too large of an area at once.

Try to work smaller areas with a little less product (I find spraying two quick pumps on the microfiber is better than directly on the car), do a thorough but quick wipe down of the area and then be sure to turn over to a dry side for a quick pass or two with slightly more pressure. I find this greatly helps to remove any excess product and leave an even finish.

Now, if you still find an area here or there slightly darker you can try putting 1 quick pump on the towel and re-hitting the spot, again followed with a dry side, or try giving it a little time in the sun. Sometimes a few minutes in the sun will clear it all up as well.

You could also pick up some dedicated microfiber cleaner. I use Pinnacle's version and love it.

Re: Ultimate Streaking

I agree with Mark Kleis here.

I've had similar problems with streaking and Mark's advice is the same as what I used to cure my issues.

Re: Ultimate Streaking

I've got the same issue. Didn't have a problem using the ultimate polish or quick detailer. However, when I used the Ultimate wax it's almost like there is oil that doesn't come off. I did read a post on another site that said you have to let it dry for well over an hour. This may have been my problem. I let it dry for over 30 minutes but it still hadn't come to a haze. How long did you let the wax dry??

Re: Ultimate Streaking

If you're using the liquid, You should let it dry only for 5 mins., apply 1-2 panels, let dry then remove. With the paste, apply and remove like "traditional" waxes, apply, let it haze then remove(but must be real thin to guarantee streak free results). 30mins to 1hour is way too ling even for the older NXT 2.0

Re: Ultimate Streaking

I had slight problems with ULW streaking but after using a couple of other liquid watery type wax I learned to go real thin with my wax. I thought I was going thin with ULW but looking back im sure I could go thinner and avoid the streaking. I will also try the 2 panel then wipe off method.
