    I dont see that may threads talking about OID, and when its mentioned its just a few people saying they like it. I wanted to know what it would be comperable too.

    i use the stuff. its good stuff. i feel its just as slick as all the other QDs out there.

    i have noticed streaking on black paint before, but using a 4:1 ratio helped reduce it.

    Thanks. 4:1 is the dilution rate though as 32 oz makes 128oz

    It work good and is a great deal but I still rather use Prima Slick or CG P-40 detailer, I only use OID when I have a gallon of distilled water to dilute it at 3:1 with this way it performs the best dont dilute it with hard water.

    3:1 is recommended, but 4:1 works really well too.

    One of my fav. around. Mist lightly or you'll be streaking it :p

    My main QD. Use it at 3:1 w/ a Kwazar, it really shouldn't streak if you spread the spray out. Or try applying it directly to your MF towel then wiping sections of the panel. I haven't used the Adams QD in years so really can't remember enough to compare them.

    Just a great QD that I reach for every single time. I have never had an issue with streaking, even when using a single MF. Just use a normal MF, not one of these 8 inch thick crap ones. You can mist your panel, spread the QD and with the other side of the towel work it into the paint. It'll completely disappear.

    I use distilled water as opposed to regular tap water when diluting.
