    Anyone ever see a haze with Hydro 2? I thought I had enough cloud cover. The areas that got more sun seem to have a haze.

    I know you can't apply stuff when it's hot or in direct sunlight because it will streak. Anyone else see this?

    I have had issues a few times with it. Even when I think I am super careful to not use in the sun or when the car is hot. I still have had haze and streaking that I wipe down with ech20 or elixir (ech2o/reload mix). I have tried hydro2 at all sorts of different ratios from 4:1 to 12:1 and I think around 6 or 8 : is the best I have found as far as streaks and haze.

    Ok well good to know I'm not doing something blatantly wrong. Noted on the preferred ratios. I wasn't super exact when I mixed it.

    6:1 is what I go with, which is the strongest recommended. I try to do it early in the morning when there’s no sun or heat on it at all. It will definitely haze up or streak pretty quick if it has a chance to dry at all.
    I applied it in the rain a while back. Got no streaks then.
