Re: M21 why even bother w/anything else...?

Yesterday did a Black Color Mercedes, it was quite a hot day. Spend whole day removing swirls & defects with M80. At the end was kinda sad while wiping of the M21, lots of "streaking". But use QD & manage to clear up some but not all. Guess I should have use M20 since it was a hot day.

Told the guy tht it was normal for a hot day. After a few days & a wash it'll clear up.

No "streaking" issues here, and with a Black car that would show it the worst.
Are you allowing a long enough drying time, applying in the sun, shaking the product well etc?

Yep, did the swipe test, low humidity, temps in the upper 60's and applied in the sun for a better cure time. The surface had been properly prepped also. Still had streaks. I'm going to keep using it to see if I still have that problem. That's the main reason I switched to NXT paste from the liquid, no streaking. I'd really like to keep using M21 for it's durability.

I don't know what to tell ya Mike, I try not to apply any product in the direct Sun or especially if the surface is (HOT)...but I don't have any problems with my M21 at all goes on and comes off like butter.

Maybe you should contact Mike Phillips here on the Forum for some further suggestion.

I also am a fan of 21. It's durability has impressed me, but the seperation has not. I poured out have of the bottle that was straight water. After I drained it off I shook, shook , and shook it some more and it finally returned to a gel form. It worked well after that, but I sure makes it expessive.

Era, I don't think there's any "water" in M21.

Hi, I just used M21 on a bmw in extreme makeover sectioned and I was blown away how easy it was to buff it compared to Zaino. Let's see how long it will last.
