Is it possible....

COME AT ME BRO
Is it really possible to "seal in" streaks? Heres the situation:

Last night I S&W'ed my vehicle. I used the S&W pretty heavy, mostly due to bug residue. Generally, when I will use it heavy like that, I follow up with another MF towel immediately to try and remove any streaking that I might have. I also added some UPP to the side mirrors, bumpers, grille, and hood as a preventative measure against the bugs.

This morning, on the drive to work, I noticed streaks, presumably from the S&W I used before I applied the UPP. Now that the UPP has been applied, I think that they are under a layer of sealant. How feasible is this assumption? I also imagine that the solution would be to use something to "strip" the latest UPP layer (i.e. a light polish by hand) and reapply.

Just been thinking about this dilemma this morning. I would like to hear some other opinions about this.

P.S. I know that usual/recommended use of S&W normally does not leave streaking. As mentioned above I did use it a little heavier than I normally would have.
 
I think you've answered your own question Jared. I think you sealed in unbuffed S&W. I also would recommend not applying S&W or UPP at night as it will be hard to get them to evaporate and work correctly:)

Even when it's about 80 in my garage at night? :)
 
I'm going to go with Steve on this one. I've done something similar before and just don't do any LSP work at night anymore.
