0 Team Adam's Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 VRT is water based, so you are correct in assuming it is the dew. Next time you apply VRT try wiping the panel down with a blast of detail spray and a clean MF cloth afterwards. This will remove any excess product and hopefully leave less behind for the dew to impact. If you're still seeing the problem then you may need to build a garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jjwvette Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You need some In and Out spray:) try asking around...some of the dealers might have some hidden..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GerryC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hard exterior plastics will not absorb VRT like softer materials such as tires and weatherstrip. If you are seeing streaks you probably applied too much, so just do what Dylan suggested and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
