    Exact opposite for me. 931 @ QD strength smears pretty noticeably on black paint. Beadmaker is streak free.

    I wasn’t referring to actual streaks, just how the product behaves. That said I don’t have streaks with either.

    Interesting enough, BF SiO2 Spray has been leaving some faint streaks on black Audi paint for me. In order to remove these I have to buff a lot more than I recall having to back when I first tried this product.

    Maybe because it’s going on top of BeadMaker which I’ve stopped using?

    I want Presto! Will wait until I use Master Sealant. I love Black Wulfenite, I assume all other Carnauba Arts are lovely too.

    3 ounces of 931 to 16 ounces of water is a hell of a lot product. Have you tried 931 @ QD strength on black paint?

    Darkest I have is medium blue, so no. I’m also stingy with the spraying. Only time I’ve ever had streaks was using crappy old OTC stuff on a hot day. But there are people who use a 1/4 bottle of QD on a single application too.

    for those who use DG rinseless wash at the recommended QD ratio on the bottle (3oz's to 16oz's of water), i find it too streaky. try using it at a 10:1 dilution for a 16 bottle (1 & 1/2 oz's to 14 & 1/2 oz's of water). IME, works well...

    Update on the above: I’ve applied two more coats of BF SiO2 on the wife’s black Q5. Wipe off was a breeze with a thin polish/wax removal towel. I think putting the first SiO2 coat on BeadMaker was the issue. She wasn’t digging the “boring” gloss of BeadMaker, and I’m reluctant to just pour on PA every-time she is less than impressed since I have a huge inventory of stuff. It’s clear that on her paint she has an eye for good carnauba and good SiO2s. Shes not a big sealant fan except when I had WG DGPS on that car.

    Given its pollen season, carnauba isn’t my preference. I have VS1 Final Coat which I’m saving for a few weeks from now when I polish with Essence. In the meantime, after the second coat of BF SiO2, she is liking the shine on the car again. She likes that sparkly/shiny/bling look. When she’s happy, it means I feel less guilty for having our laundry room filled with detailing products.

    Well done BF SiO2, and I’m not worried about longevity as I will probably apply weekly until my Essence restart.

    I experienced this too when I was applying over freshly applied cquartz or McKees paint coating recently. Turned out the bottle tube had some crystalized content. It was really hard to remove from the coating.

    I didn't check the rest of the bottle and just didn't use it at that time. Next time I'm going to use it I'll inspect upon spraying to the mf towel.
