.... I tried this product in the "black car" formula and unbelievable results. It didn't last long, so after seeing the power of ceramic coatings, I went to Koch C0.o2 spray which gave similar results and stayed on the car much longer.

This ceramic thing is incredible....

My car wash is brutal use wand wash, presoak spray soak for 2 min then rinse...I was surprised how much remained on the car....probably 85%

I have black car.

Koch is way too much work and won't withstand my wash practice by the looks of it. I rather just spray and wipe every 2 -4 weeks.

Glad the leaf blower works for you S550 BUT be careful, those things don't have an inlet filter and can pick up debris in the air and on the ground and you don't want "hard chidt" hitting your paint at high velocity.

Good point. I have full PPF and pretty clean air so I'm safe.

I have the exact same one. The 40 volt is a beast :) Only problem I had with it is the Turbo button stopped working so I dissasembled and hot wired it on all the time. I mean like, why would you use it any other way LOL :)

You’re not quite getting all the residue off. You need alot less than you think you need.
when doing application , keep going until you start to see it evaporate. Then start with your new cloth.
I just sounds like you have a little too much product on there.

That is good stuff. I give Griot's the edge in that it's a bit easier to remove, and if you accidentally use too much Turtle Wax spray, it streaks a lot whereas the Griots just buffs off easily.

As above - less is more with this product.

Even so, and trying to be careful with how much I use, I have had it streak just a little on my roof (black, so easy to see, and the right height to see it) - a second quick wipe / application cleaned it right up.

I've also found a second application, a week or so after the first, really seems to up the looks and performance of it :like:

I don't know if you use the matching wash, but I think that is great too - it really boosts the hydrophobic properties :like:

Just saying, the equivalent Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer doesn't streak, like ever. No damp towel required, use as much or as little as you like. And I say that in no way being a Megs fan boy.

In any case, streaking or ghosting is usually caused by too much product, either during that particular application, or the accumulative affect over time. Try using less product, be that sprayed directly onto the surface, or even try spraying into the towel instead of the paint. Having a second dry towel for a final wipe should also help.
