Anyone get this?

A day after I put a sealant on my car (happened with a few of them) I see streaks of the sealant that need to be wiped away. The day before it was all wiped away clear. Sometimes it happens for a few days. Is this called "bleeding". Why does this happen? Could it be the sun here in south Florida causing this.

Thanks

It sounds to me like you're describing the symptoms of applying unevenly, or too heavily. Are you applying by hand or DA? As always, pictures would be a big help for these guys to help you.

I've always called it sweating

:iagree:

If the humidity is real high on the date of application I've noticed this condition is more prevelant too

I could be wrong, but it sounds as if the lighting that you are looking @ the car and seeing streaks has changed from that when you were applying it.

Are the streaks the never ending type that change with the direction in which you wipe?
