NEW Detail Spray Feedback.
JD_SS replied to Team Adam's's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
I actually specifically remember shaking up the 16oz bottle after I filled it, but specifically remember NOT shaking up the gallon before filling the 16oz bottle . I am also most likely using too much DS when drying, as Mook pointed out, AND it's being applied over vehicles that need clayed/polished/waxed. Ultimately, the streaks came out and everything looked fine, it just took more work than I was used to. I'll give the gallon a good shake tonight when I wash the truck and see if I can't get satisfactory results. I will report back. Dylan, if you're out and about, feel free to walk on over and check it out! -
NEW Detail Spray Feedback.
JD_SS replied to Team Adam's's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
Thanks Mook. Those are valid questions and points. In terms of temperature, I don't think it has seen anything extreme, but possibly less than ideal. My garage temps (outside/non-insulated wall where I store the DS gallon) probably ranges from 30-55* over the last month or so that I've had it. I have not shaken the product too vigorously. I took the gallon, filled a 16oz bottle and went on with my business. Perhaps I need to shake up the gallon, as it has been sitting for a while. I am using A LOT of DS when I dry, as I always have. I didn't know that less was needed/better with the new formula. I'll try that. And Andrew made a good point about using it on black vehicles that don't already have a layer of wax. As mentioned, both vehicles had minimal to no wax/sealant/glaze. -
NEW Detail Spray Feedback.

I'm glad I found this feedback thread. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't offer my honest opinion. I find that this detail spray leaves more streaks and requires more rubbing to remove said streaks. In the interest of full disclosure, I've used it on 2 vehicles, both of which need some serious polishing and don't have much/any sealant or wax to speak of. Is the extra streaking due to the fact that the vehicles don't have a fresh coat of wax applied? I'll be the first to admit that my paint is in pretty bad shape and in need of some serious polishing and protection. My friends'/customers' cars receive more attention from me than my own, unfortunately. This ds seems to be "thicker" for lack of a better term. The old formula seemed to come off very easy with minimal to no streaks. It now seems like more of a chore to use this ds while drying. I'm not criticizing the product - in fact, I'd really like some feedback on how to avoid the streaking. Like I said, this could all be attributed to the fact that both vehicles I used it on were basically bare paint in need of some serious love. I am looking forward to some feedback on this! Thanks guys! -

Raw barrels were decided on and that's how I spent 8 hours masking them... the paint line is damn near perfect too. I like the contrasting look!
