Spotting of HydrO2 - too heavy an application?

[JHZR2]

The vehicle is an obsidian blue metallic Honda Odyssey. I applied CQuartzUK to it this past fall. Details here:

Fast forward to now, car is dirty, washed with meguiars soap and then applied HydrO2. It was late and my leaf blower is being serviced, so I parked it for the night. Next morning, I get this:

It's like small white crystalline precipitate around where water spots were. Smudging with a finger removes them.

I did use about 15 oz of 1:3 diluted HydrO2 in water, per the directions. I rinsed REALLY well, though apparently not well enough... There were no signs of suds, or anything else - I've applied HydrO2 many times on this and a black car, I did get something like this on the black car once:

Did I over apply? Not rinse well enough? Was it a mistake to try to apply at night when it was getting cool and leaving the water drops on the surface?

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks!

Sorry to see this! To fix - get at it right away with a damp towel and a single shot of hydro2 diluted and buff off. If you have let it sit then you may need our four star pre wax cleanser or buff off with some essence or reflect and a mf towel.

Here's some tips for future

Hydro2 Tips:

Rule #1 wash the car
If it has wax or sealant use a soap that will kill that a bit. (Iron x and claying if needed)

Rule #2 rinse well and apply a fine mist of Hydro2 (diluted with at least 4 parts water) to the wet / cool surface

- RINSE after that section which will be about 30 seconds at most from when you started (this basically means you break the car into 5-6 sections at a minimum.

NOTE: Rinse means you rinse everywhere the product did or may have landed or floated in the air or dripped onto.

Move to next section

That's it

For instance if your spraying the passenger side and you see the wind is blowing away from you just go ahead and assume you will be rinsing all the horizontal surfaces to avoid tiny overspray dots.

So, you sprayed the passenger side, it's 20-35 seconds later or sooner if your really fast, you pick up the hose and turn it on. FIRST thing you do is spray off the roof and horizontals really fast to dilute any mist up there (takes 5 seconds to dilute it) and then get to the side you intended on. If you think your moving too slow then run a mist of water across the whole side and then rinse more thoroughly immediately after.

If your slow then break the car into 8 sections or even more if you want to be safe.

Glass: if the car was baking in the sun and the interior was 180F consider the fact the glass may be warm and you need to cool each panel a bit with running water before a fine mist of Hydro2 etc
