i thought it would hold up a little better after hearing all the comments, it does work great thogh, except on my windshield i have streaks , maybe i need to use more . i spray on, i wipe it in, and then i wipe it off. some ththing with the windshield. anyone else have a problem like this
Never.
Either you are using too much or not wiping it down thoroughly, When in doubt get a clean terrycloth towel to wipe it down with.

yes i use terry cloth towels, which spread lint all over, very annoying. i have washed them before use and still the same problem. i rub it in for quite a while to get rid of the streaks, but still persists. i will use a smaller amount next time.

i used wet paint sunday on my car, and today it rained. its got rain spots all over, i thought wet paint would resist those i mean it was the very next day. . i even tried to rub it out with a clean tery cloth towel and the spots will not just go away. i wash the car every week with wet paint i thought it would be bulletproof? also i tried using the clay bar and IMO it sucks *** it just spreads orange water around and it leaves a sticky haze on the car.

If the rain is full of contaminants nothing will keep it from spotting. I've been caught in showers and the car almost cleaned itself. The next time it was a spotted up mess.

When used correctly claying the car leaves the finish as smooth as a baby's ****, never any residue. I suggest that you are not doing it correctly. What were you using as a lubricant??

It's wash, clay, wash,then WP. The clay will remove whatever is on the paint. You can use soapy water for clay lube.

Bought it, and applied it twice.
It was good, not great, but good.

The shine was OK, didnt really blow me away. What surprised me was how slippery it was.

However, the car seemed to get MORE dirty with wet paint than before wet paint. However, the dirt is more like dust in the fact that i can literally be brushed off, since the coat is so slippery. So all in all, i would rather have to rinse my car every week than wash it every month.

Im still confused on how to buff it, I have a buffer but have never used it before.

So i Spray the wet paint on, then take the buffer and just keep buffing it till theres no residue left? Or do I rub the wet paint in first then use the buffer?

Also, when I dont use a buffer, do I want to keep rubbing with the first towel till theres no reside left, then rub the second towel all over, or do I use the first towel while the residue is there then wipe off the residue with the second towel?

What kind of buffer are you using? The directions for hand application/removal are right on their website. Go to the bottom of the first page and view the video.
