    Hi,
    I can't even catch it on my camera, but I'll try and describe it the best I can.

    I was done polishing a friend's car and it looked really good. I began applying Zymol cleaner wax as a LSP by hand and after doing the entire car, you could see where I had applied.

    In bright sunlight, you could see the "traces" of long strokes on the car. :doh: Was I applying too much? Too much pressure on the pad?

    Anyone?

    Thanks for helping.

    It's the oils in the wax that were left behind unevenly. Try a quick detailer to even it out next time. Your weren't in direct sunlight were you? Sometimes that will cause streaking.

    :nod: I agree with SSTG. A quick detailer followed up with a wipe down should remove all those streaks/traces.

    Thanks guys :)

    I wasn't in direct sunlight. The product would probably bake on the surface ... and myself included ... so hot and humid lately.

    :shead: Sounds like you were using to much product?

    Another way to remove Haze is to wash the car with cold water, no soap. :golf:

    Great information in this thread, I've had the same problem with some other products. I'll have to try using a QD after next time.
