    Foggy/Milky Coating-PLEASE HELP!!-

    I'll make this quick. I've got a 2014 Mustang 5.0 in Sterling Grey Metallic. I had it OptiGuarded 11 days ago. I've washed it a couple of times since then, and have used Meguiar's UQD on the entire car to remove some water before it dried. I washed my car tonight with Meguiars Gold Class wash, my AutoGeek Foam gun, and some DP Car Shampoo, and noticed the whole car seemed milky. If I ran a finger through it, it would make a line, and then come back. I washed the car again, this time Gold Class wash only. It's it's still there. I thought it was the UQD, so since my OptiGuard was 10 days hard and can't be removed without a polish, I used some dawn to wash the car. The fog is still there. Guys and gals what can I do? This is killing me, and serioulsy driving me insane. Please help me.

    Here is a pic so you can you see what I'm dealing with. This is my roof.

    So when the car is dry, it has this milky appearance, but you are able to rub it with your finger like when you made the x in the picture, but it goes back to being milky? How long does that take?

    30 seconds or so I would say.

    GC leaves film for me, but not usually such a uniform film. We're not talking about condensation because you are working at dusk?

    Correct. The very edges of my roof don't have the film.

    Normally I would suggest some sort of AIO on a spot just to see if that cleans it off, but in this case I would show it to your Opti-Guard installer.

    I mentioned to him that it was there. He said that sometimes condensation forms. This can't be the case here.

    So the surface feels dry and grabby under your finger, or wet and slippery?
