Recommendations For Glossiest Spray Wax

I recently compared 931@QD ratio with beadmaker and found it to be even more slick and just as glossy. It also goes on much better, beadmaker sort of smears around for me. I feel like more of BM ends up in my towel than on the paint.

Exact opposite for me. 931 @ QD strength smears pretty noticeably on black paint. Beadmaker is streak free.

I wasn’t referring to actual streaks, just how the product behaves. That said I don’t have streaks with either.
 
Interesting enough, BF SiO2 Spray has been leaving some faint streaks on black Audi paint for me. In order to remove these I have to buff a lot more than I recall having to back when I first tried this product.

Maybe because it’s going on top of BeadMaker which I’ve stopped using?
 
These ain't bad... but pricey.

3 ounces of 931 to 16 ounces of water is a hell of a lot product. Have you tried 931 @ QD strength on black paint?

Darkest I have is medium blue, so no. I’m also stingy with the spraying. Only time I’ve ever had streaks was using crappy old OTC stuff on a hot day. But there are people who use a 1/4 bottle of QD on a single application too.
 
for those who use DG rinseless wash at the recommended QD ratio on the bottle (3oz's to 16oz's of water), i find it too streaky. try using it at a 10:1 dilution for a 16 bottle (1 & 1/2 oz's to 14 & 1/2 oz's of water). IME, works well...

Update on the above: I’ve applied two more coats of BF SiO2 on the wife’s black Q5. Wipe off was a breeze with a thin polish/wax removal towel. I think putting the first SiO2 coat on BeadMaker was the issue. She wasn’t digging the “boring” gloss of BeadMaker, and I’m reluctant to just pour on PA every-time she is less than impressed since I have a huge inventory of stuff. It’s clear that on her paint she has an eye for good carnauba and good SiO2s. Shes not a big sealant fan except when I had WG DGPS on that car.

Given its pollen season, carnauba isn’t my preference. I have VS1 Final Coat which I’m saving for a few weeks from now when I polish with Essence. In the meantime, after the second coat of BF SiO2, she is liking the shine on the car again. She likes that sparkly/shiny/bling look. When she’s happy, it means I feel less guilty for having our laundry room filled with detailing products.

Well done BF SiO2, and I’m not worried about longevity as I will probably apply weekly until my Essence restart.

I experienced this too when I was applying over freshly applied cquartz or McKees paint coating recently. Turned out the bottle tube had some crystalized content. It was really hard to remove from the coating.

I didn't check the rest of the bottle and just didn't use it at that time. Next time I'm going to use it I'll inspect upon spraying to the mf towel.

Ah, good advice. I’ll check that out too. Makes sense.
 
My go to spray that is easy on, off NO streaks and good durability is Durogloss Aquawax. Good stuff and inexpensive
