Re: lookin for non-streaking spray wax?
Optimum gets my vote..and I totally agree with "Bunky" in that it does go on better/even with an applicator as opposed to just spraying it on the surface.

Optimum Car Wax is your answer!

While designed for ease of application, buffing is actually important. If you only apply like a QD, looks and durability will suffer. Buffing OCW is recommended and will prevent any streaking.

I turned my Dad and Uncle onto OCW, and it is all they will use. I can't even suggest trying another product to them they are so happy with it.
I used to use it exclusively also, but having bought a black car, I have trouble with buffing it in.
When I use it, the faint streaking seems as though no matter how long I buff, the streaking just changes direction and never actually cures.
Is this a result of using OCW over other manufacturer's products in your experience?

How much are you using? (Say for a 3 sq. ft. area)

Too much? LOL.
Hey CEE DOG.. nice to talk to you (I've been away from the detailing forums for a bit)
I transfer almost all of my spray waxes into smaller mister bottles because I have a history of over applying out of bad habit.
I would imagine 2 sprays from a small index finger mister on an area 3x3.
They are the kind of streaks that you can only see when you are in motion, and look @ the car @ just the right angle.
I just wish I could use it a little more efficiently, given it looks so good and is so durable for a spray.

Re: lookin for non-streaking spray wax?
Hi Rob, good to have you back.
2 squirts doesn't seem like enough to cause that. Interesting, I look forward to what Chris says.
So no matter how much you buff it has like a very light film or is just streaks that continue to be "fluid"? Could the towels be contaminated?

That's a simple fix, don't look at it at that angle

I have a few sealants that I use with the same towels that don't behave this way.
The film seems to be a result of many of the slicker sealants that I own.
When I wipe in any direction, the streaks / film also changes direction.

LOL. Is this similar to when your car is knocking, just turn up the radio?
