Default CG SpeedWipe... streaking problems...

well it seems that on customer's cars that i just do a wash/wax and no clay or polishing, when i finish up with SW it seems to leave streaking or a haze over the finish... no matter how much i apply, small amount, big amount, it streaks equally even after i flip the rag and wipe again.

it ONLY happens to paint that wasn't properly prepared before waxing. (people don't want to pay for that sometimes...) on all other times it works perfect.

can anyone shed some light if you had an experience like mine?

you ever thought of dilluting it? I think you can cut it 1:1.

What wax are you using? Same wax as when you clay and polish?

Sounds like some sort of reaction with the wax...

For what its worth SS, i use SpeedWipe over 50/50 and i think it is the only QD that doesnt streak on me...i havent ever tried cutting it though, maybe you got a bad batch or something...i will be eager to hear how diluting it 1:1 works out

its kind of common with any QD...it just means it is flashing too quickly...just add some water and you should be fine...
