How To Prevent Streaks/Blushing on Black (and other dark colors)

   If you've ever experienced "streaking/blushing" when "waxing"/"polishing"
   a black vehicle (or many other dark colors), this technique will help eliminate
   your frustration - and at the same time, produce a very high shine.
  
   Materials Required:

     1) Race Glaze® Polish & Sealant

     2) Applicator for applying Polish & Sealant.
        => You can use a typical terry cloth over foam applicator,
        => or a micro fiber over foam applicator,
        => but what I use on my Buick Grand National,
        => is a foam "anti static detail pad".

     3) Race Glaze® Gloss Highlighter

     4) New (or very clean) micro fiber detail cloth.
        => I prefer those manufactured in Korea

     5) Misting type spray bottle, filled with clean water.

     6) Race Glaze® L.A.S. Wash, bucket, sponge/wash mitt,
        chamois or California® Water Blade.

     7) Race Glaze® Leveling Compound, terry cloth, polishing cloth.
        * These are only required if you have fine scratches,
          swirl marks, or other surface imperfections to correct.

Vehicle should be clean. I recommend hand washing with Race Glaze® L.A.S. Wash,
because of the excellent deep cleaning properties, and the way it rinses off
so easily - even in the sun.

If you have any fine scratches or other surface imperfections,
this is a good time to improve the surface. Race Glaze® Leveling Compound
is a great product for removing fine scratches, and enhancing the shine,
by gently and safely polishing the surface. This product is designed
for use with a professional "body shop type of" buffer, but it also
produces excellent results when used by hand.
Apply some Leveling Compound to a clean piece of terry cloth,
rub in a lateral/back & forth motion (like sanding a piece of wood),until dry.
This normally takes about 10 seconds. Then buff the area with a clean soft cloth.
If area looks fine, move on to the Polish & Sealant - if it still needs more work,
repeat above process - Leveling Compound is very gentle.

Mist a panel (half of hood, fender, etc.) with a light mist of water.
=> Tip: You can also use Gloss Highlighter in place of water.

Dispense a small amount of Polish & Sealant to the applicator/detail pad,
and work it in well, in a lateral (back & forth) motion,
until it is almost dry. This cleans the surface,
while at the same time polishing it to a higher shine.

Before hand buffing the dried remaining Polish & Sealant,
mist a little Gloss Highlighter on the surface.

Now use the clean micro fiber detail cloth to hand buff
the surface. Results are very impressive, and addicting !

The Polish & Sealant provides excellent protection,
lasting 4-6 months on average.
Think of it as a "renewable sacrificial barrier" for your paint,
that protects the surface against the environmental hazards that
can damage the clear coat.

I use this process on my 1987 Buick Grand National,
that has original paint - the depth of the shine is
very impressive - especially for 21 year old paint.
