Am I the Only One With Problems of Streaking With CK QS?

[Gadfly]

I have a black Hyundai Santa Fe. Five weeks ago I put the third and final coat of Poorboy's EX on the vehicle. From that datum point there have been rain days and always I have used S&W to clean up the car - followed up with a variety of QD's.

Of the lot - Showtime, EO, Platinum, 3M Gloss Enhancer and QS - the 3M product has given me the best results - the car is almost TOO shiny. That said, I still have most of a gallon on ClearKote's Quik Shine (at $38.00 plus $8.00 shipping), and I feel compelled to use it. And it streaks.

With the other QD's applied in my incandescent lit garage, pulling them outside in the sun shows no problems. With QS, I'll have to "touch up" the streaks with a firmly applied MF.

Am I the only one with this problem? Is it me or the paint?

for what it's worth I have never had any problems with QS and streaking.

Ray,

Not sure what to tell you................. maybe something in the towels? I sure hope you find the answer, as QS was one of the few remaining products I was hoping to aquire?

It streaks as much as Final Inspection or any other. In fact, less than FI.
I use it, I like it. Don't make your decision based on one opinion.

jgv,

Wouldn't do that! I've tried a bunch of QD's, and have had very few streak, including FI. One shouldn't have to "firmly" remove streaks with any QD, as Ray described.

Like I said, one opinion. I use QS and care less for streaks than w/ FI. Never heard anyone complaining about it before.

I purchased QS and thought it was pretty good, but not worth twice the price of FI.

FI is pretty good stuff for the $$$.

I never get streaks with FI, I have with mother's, but only when using it on dark colored cars and trying to do too large of an area. With the 3M, I get streaks everytime. How large of an area are you doing? Also is the surface ever warm(like the hood from driving).
