What causes a product to streak ? Is it the over abundance of polymer material, bad bonding, or just plain not curing. I had my first example of this using EXP this weekend. I am at a loss as to why it happened.
What is the cause of streaks ?

Streaking:
(as in wax/sealants not what they do at Rugby games)
Ensure that you are not using too much wax; a thin layer of product is all that's required. Be sure also that your applicator is clean and has not become saturated with product. Warm-up the paint film surface in the sun, but do not allow it to become hot (90°F<)
Wax is inherently hydroscopic, allowing the paint film surface to warm-up and then wipe off with 100% cotton, Alpine DF towel should elevate this natural reaction to water moisture or oil.

could it be oil content and the wax not being shaken enough?

I think he's saying that cold paint may be causing the streaking.
I get streaking if my paint and climate is too cold.

I've had that with Zaino. I guess that's why they say to shake vigorously for a couple of minutes, let it sit and then give it a final shake before application.

Should be-allow the paint film surface to warm-up... (apologies)
You are correct, its always advisable to shake any product to ensure proper mixing of its contents
