I've recently moved over to Adam's products from Zaino, and I'm loving the way that the Brilliant Glaze / Americana combo looks on my car.
Although I'd read really good things about Adam's Detail Spray, I really couldn't get on with it, despite having bought nearly two gallons of the stuff in all. Basically, I couldn't seem to stop it from leaving a streaky, patchy finish on my black paint.
Before anyone asks, yes I did try in direct sunlight, out of direct sunlight, cool panels, warm panels, hot days, cool evenings etc... Nothing seemed to work.
Today I tried a new technique, and solved all of my problems:
After spraying the Detail Spray onto a panel, wipe the panel with one side of a folded microfiber towel. Don't stop wiping until the product disappears leaving no streaks. Only when there is no streaking, flip the towel to a dry side for a final wipe.
My problem was that I'd wipe the Detail Spray into the panel just once, obviously leaving streaks, and then switch to the dry side of the towel too early, effectively setting the streaks into the paint!
I hadn't noticed this problem with Zaino Z6 or Z8, but I don't see it as a flaw in Adam's product, just a different application method.
I'm posting this in case anyone else has these streaking problems... hope this helps someone
