Welcome to the world of Megs LSP's. I always have found their stuff to be streaky but never nothing a QD spray wouldnt fix.

Some say it's wonderful and others claim streaky. I guess trying for yourself is the only true test. As for me, I tend to shy away from their LSPs anymore for this reason.

I find when LSP's streak like that, it's from uneven application. Especially those Meg's "waxes" that darken, if you don't work them in enough in some spots, it won't be "dark" there and you will perceive it as a streak. Or maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

Very good point. I even noticed the streaking effect when applied with a DA tho. I think a DA applies pretty evenly. Possible my removal method but I do not encounter streaking with any other LSPs that I use. Anyways, a QD wipedown always fixed it perfectly for me. Just not a fan of the Megs LSPs personally.

I've gone through 64 oz. of M21 version 1.0 and have never had a streaking problem. No problems with the current stuff, either.

I believe streaking is primarily caused by high humidity and excessive uneven application.

I like #16 and #26 is ok, the others, not so much. I have the original version of #21 and I don't recall it streaking, but it took me like 2 years to get all the water out of the top and actually start using the product instead of purple water...worked a lot better after that...

Purple water.......

Yeah, that first batch would separate and have bunch of water floating on top...you'd shake it but it woudn't mix in. But being in an opaque bottle, you couldn't see that. So you'd shake it up really good, and squirt some out, and it would be all watery. After having it for a couple of years and only using it once or twice because of that, I finally took the top off and found that I couldn't shake the water in, so I just poured it off...and when I got the actual sealant out of the bottle after that, I found it worked pretty well.
