Question about AW

One Seventeen · #1 (**permalink**) 08-11-2007, 04:53 PM

I just applied some on the hood of my truck, and in a few spots it looks darker, almost like it left streaks or something. Any suggestions? QD and then more AW? I'm so confused.

Maybe try just a little less AW, I generally mist one mist on half the hood.

Also, were you in the sun? AW for me is terrible in the hot sun.

I just pulled in from the sun, I was in my garage. I'm guessing maybe the hood was still really hot. How would I fix the streaking?

Just more AW or a QD. No biggie.

btw, FC&S is 10 times better than MQD. it smells great, and leaves a lot more shine. But you knew that haha

Ok, stupid question:
What is FC&S?
And I aasume MQD is Mequires Detail

Disregard last post...did a little "searching" and found both....Im from Louisiana, so all of this abbreviation stuff is TUFF on the brain.

OK, what is the relationship between Aqua Wax and the Fast Clean and Shine? If I use AW after I wash, when would I use the FC&S?

Can't imagine spraying and wiping over dust and dirt without a wash...

Thanks

Just use FC&S when your truck is lightly dusty, not dirty. It' just removes fingerprints, dust, etc. Keeps your truck really clean when you dont have time to wash.

My truck is a magnet for fingerprints. I could tell someone not to touch the paint, and they touch it ten seconds later. FC&S has turned into my best friend. Since i have 4 doors, I end up driving everywhere

I don't use AW straight from the bottle without the truck being moist and the rag being wet, I spread it then go over with a dry mf towel, if not it will leave residue.

I have never had any residue problems with AW. Actually never heard of that one. I just spray it on a dry surface and buff of kinda like a QD.

Maybe you should email Duragloss to see what the problem is. They have great CS.

The way I use the AW is the reason I get a residue, I do the whole truck and don't dry some areas completely (they say do a panel at a time) when I do the final wipe the wet areas can streak residue whatever you want to call it (its not white) just takes a little more buff with the MF towels.

Oh, sorry, silly me.

For some reason, the streaks were gone in a few hours. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm glad it's gone. I guess maybe it was just really hot when i sprayed it on, and once it cooled off, the 'streaking' cleared up.
