If you change to a finer mist, you will get more overspray. You need to find a happy medium. I find the sprayer from Car Pro works great.

if its impossible add another 20% water to your Hydro Lite to reduce flash time in such hot temp.

I thought Hydro Lite was activated with water, so wouldn't diluting it before application affect it's behavior?

Lol! I bought Hydro2 because I’ve been having this issue with McKee’s.

No. Hydro2lite is just diluted Hydro2. I think some streaking is due to the high amount of SIO2. Ive never had a problem with Hydro2lite, but I have had problems getting the dilution right for Hydro2.

So, no need to dilute Hydro2Lite?

I have had Hydro2 as high as 1:3. No streaks, spots, or any abnormally. I have noticed a 1:5 ratio seems to last a lot longer than 1:6, however longevity does not get better higher than 1:5.

But we're talking about Hydro2 Lite. You dilute Lite?
