Ok..I've got the worst color in the universe and I had light streaking, very noticable with the car spending the night outside. Parked in the sun and life is good.

Put a second coat of Liquid Glass on the car. If there is still streaking try washing the car to get rid of the streaking.

Also I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how well Liquid Glass holds up after six weeks of regular driving and washings.

No but you'll have nothing on the clearcoat either. If you like a waxed car wax it right away.

I can tell you that I've been using it since 1996 or so, and have seen it hold up better than anything. If you've read my long-term wax test, you can STILL see the difference on the Honda between the Gold-Class and Liquid glass. After 3 washes and alot of exposure to rain and heat. Everyone at WCBF saw the car and the difference between each side is striking.

So far it'* been a couple weeks and the car has been tortured outside versus the usual cushy garage with Frank being under construction.

It'* holding up better than the gold class I used to use.

This is just my personal opinion, but my gold class is still holding up well at 2 months, with regular washes, rain showers, and it being driven everyday. It still shines like I just put it on. I posted pics the other day, with just a wash. I only apply 1 coat too. Seems like a lot of trouble to apply multiple coats.

Maybe you didn't read my original post in this topic. The shitty half of my car IS Mequiar'* Gold Class. And it'* currently outclassed after 2 months.

All things are equal.

Mine has been exposed to more sever elements than yours, and the Mequiar'* gave up. Liquid Glass is still going strong. Try it in the fall. Or do a long-term test like I did. All the WCBF folks that were here saw it. It'* very obvious.
