Streaks after reload

[[email protected]]

Hello.... new to the forum
I have a 2010 Mustang GT ive had for about a year that needed paint correction badly. The front and rear bumpers were badly damaged from UV as well.
Ive done a full paint correction on the car and repainted bumpers.
strip, clay bar, IPA wipe, chip scratch fixes, wetsand, compound cut and DA polish, IPA wipe.......
Then I decided to try out Cquartzuk3.

I did first coat, waited 48 hours and did a second coat, waited 48 hours and did a coat of reload diluted 1-1 with distilled water.

I was forced to drive the car 48 hours after reload application when my work van gave me issues. It was severely raining that day. The next day it was sunny and noticed huge amounts of streaking and flashed hologram looking spots and suspect it was the reload.

Car looked amazing in my garage , I have 20-30 high output LED shop light bulbs and thought the lighting would be more than adequate but never really seen the car outdoors in the sun untill after the day it downpoured allday.
From the rain ive picked up some dust all over the car. I was thinking maybe try to wash the car with a small amount of reset in a 3g bucket but the CQUK has only been curring for around 4 days. I need to try to correct the reload without stripping the CQUK.
I did put the 2nd CQUK coat on pretty thick and did 2-3 panels before wiping off with new MF and then went back over whole car with MF when done.... I noticed 2 small thick spots on fender lip before reload but other than those it looked great and amazing so I think reload was the problem. I applied it to a MF 3-4 sprays per panel dilluted 1:1..... Maybe i didnt buff off enough???

Any help or suggestions?
All I have on hand is carpro reload, reset, and mothers QD that came with claybar kit. Well I have my DA and compounds and polish but pray I dont have to go that route

I believe the issue is too much product reload.

Did you use a second towel to buff off the reload?

You can leave it be as the streaks will fade away with time. If you had Essence Plus you could try that as well.

My normal coating application process is...

Apply and remove one panel at a time.
One hour after the first panel was applied...
Apply and remove the second coat.
Do not touch for 48 hours allow the coating to cure.
Do not wash or introduce any chemistry for a week.

What color is the car?
In the past, I did have issues with Reload streaking on dark/black paint.
Not anymore. I'm not sure if they changed the formula or my technique improved.

Was it applied in the sun?
Another possible solution is to reduce dilution to 1:5/1:10 to find what your paint likes.

Has the streaking cleared up?

You can leave it be as the streaks will fade away with time.

Was it applied too thick/heavy?
One of the many reasons I have become a big fan of Elixir is that it does not streak.

I see it states on the website...

Apply Reload after final coat within 30- 60 mins. Wait until next day for Reload if you miss the 30-60 minute window or at least a minimum of 12 hrs.

Personally, I wait until the 48 hour cure time (a week if I can) before applying Reload.
Be sure and use at least two 2 face towels during Reload application.
One towel to wipe on (spread) and wipe excess off.
Second towel for final buff (dry off) and leveling.

I hope this helps. Please post your results.
