0 XQIZT Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Did you say it got rained on shortly after applying? Looks like some water streaking on a fresh layer of product. Try just knocking it down with a foam block to even it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How soon did it rain after you applied it? How thick did you put it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Agree with all... that looks like product runs, not stains. If the application was fresh, or too heavy you'll sometimes see this. Part of the deal when dealing with a water based dressing is that its water soluble to a degree. Once its setup, and if the excess has been removed you won't see that. Definitely not 'staining' though. Seems you're having a rough go of it today between this and the "rough" utility towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 camaro Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Actually, I did buff down with the proper applicator (thanks Dylan and for your wonderful daily deals) I also applied this a week ago and this is the 1st time it rained since. I buffed that coat flat so not sure what "too much" really is - I wonder if I am even applying anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Redbeard Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 There is definitely a learning curve for applying the SVRT. I had some streaking on my tailgate from where I apparently put too much on the plastic cap and then it rained a day or two later. I also have trouble sometimes telling how much product I'm using. I don't know if it's the applicator (sponge block) or what...maybe I need to use more direct light. But I haven't noticed any streaking on other areas of trim I've done, so I just need to try to be more consistent with my application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lawson4450 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sometimes too certain plastics just wont take it as well as others and give you issues as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Applied it once to my diffuser and it covered fine. So guessing it is not the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chobbs Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 At the very top of the camaro diffuser is a bunch of squares. If you rubbed your applicator across these, it can squeeze extra product out of the foam and deposited it inside those squares. I have a camaro and I avoid that area when applying SVRT. Just a thought because looking closely at your pic, it seems all the streaks begin in this area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think I used In and Out Spray on my diffuser now that I think about it. May have hit the flat spots with SVRT. Two months later it is just starting to fade a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
