    ctdw got a reaction from 8675309'SS in CS3: What about a “rinseless” type   
    Would like the same as well.  I am wondering if CS3 or CWW can be used diluted in a bucket of water as a rinseless wash?  I am now using another brand of rinseless wash that has SiO2 in it and is ceramic friendly.  Adams rinseless wash has polymers that can effect the coating per another posting here.

    Hi DW,
    Brilliant Glaze is one of my favorite products.  When Ceramic Boost is freshly installed BG can take out high spots without removing the product, it can also hide some minor defects.  My favorite thing with Brilliant Glaze is to clean the inside of the windshield.   
     
    You can apply Brilliant Glaze over anything and it will add a lot of extra Pop to the vehicle.  However, it only lasts a few days and then basically evaporates when on outside of the vehicle.  When applied to the inside of the windshield, it will stay clear for many weeks and it greatly reduces the amount of fogging.  It always works wonders on stainless steel appliances. 
     
    As for the CB leaving streaks, I have found the best application method is to use the wet method always using minimal product.  When I do the wheels, I spray the MF towel and then rub the wet wheels.  In addition, even if you wash weekly, only use CB every 4-6 weeks since it can build up and leave streaks.

    Can we see some pictures?

    It is likely that you used too much product, or that your towels may have become too saturated. 
     
    Some people mention applying brilliant glaze to remove high spots. I have not had much luck, but that's probably the least aggressive thing you could do. Or try using some Ceramic Waterless Wash. I've had some luck with that.

    Pour some water on the surface and see how it reacts. If it it’s beading and shedding water, I would say you’re good and can hold off 4-6 weeks before you use ceramic boost again.
     
    Im so glad the brilliant glaze worked! Also it’s a very cool product even when you don’t have ceramic boost problems!

    Thanks for the tips everyone.  Detail Spray helped, but didn't fully get it off.  I ran out and picked up a bottle of Brilliant Glaze (nice to have a a local store nearby with inventory - Adam's Underground in Cornelius!).  That did the trick...it removed the streaks. 
     
    Did the Glaze fully remove the Boost?  Should I apply a new coat?  Will the Glaze effect the hydrophobic properties of the Spray Coating?

    Thanks...I will do a ceramic waterless wash wipe down after.  Maybe they will come out with ceramic rinseless wash next to make this easier.

    You could go visit a quality body shop and see what they would charge to repaint it.  Paint labor is relatively cheap in comparison to mechanical labor.  
     
    Or you could attempt to do it yourself with it being such a small area.  You should be able to find a body shop supply place that will mix your paint code into a rattle can.  Along with purchasing a can of clear coat.  They will tell you exactly how to do it.  Link below may be helpful too.
