I have a dark blue Camaro coated with UK 3.0 and evertime I have dried to used Echo2 as a detail spray later on I notice steaks. I am using 1:20 dilution taio with distilled water. If I use on my truck which is silver coated with UK 3.0 I have never seen a streak. This has also happened when I use reload. I end up with steaks on my camaro but never see a streak on my truck. I am guess the lighter silver just hides any steaking. I use cravy pile MF and a yellow fellow. I was going to try 1:25 ratio on the Echo2 next but I really am struggling. Car looks great initially than later out in the sun the streaks show up. Is there a detail spray I can use to remove finger prints light dirt etc that doesnt have SIO2 that is also safe on coated car?

Ech2o IMHO is a waterless wash. I might suggest using CARPRO 2 Face (No Lint) towels.

Are you looking for a waterless wash or a Quick Detailer?
 
Dark colors like your Camaro tend to highlight streaks, especially with SiO2 sprays. Your dilution and towel choice are good, but streaking might result from fast evaporation or uneven application. Try a 1:25 dilution and apply in the shade or on a cool surface. If streaks persist, a pH-neutral quick detailer like Griot?s Garage Speed Shine or Meguiar?s Final Inspection can work without adding SiO2. It might also help to evaluate your ceramic coating application or consider a light polish to ensure the surface is perfectly smooth and free of residues that could be amplifying streaks.

I might suggest using Elixir

I have not had any issues with streaking.
