Default z12 problem

I applied a coat of z12 glass polish on my 2002 GMC envoy, and $h!t,what a mess.

This is harder than doing the whole car with z1,z2, etc.

It is all streaky,blutty etc, ugh.wtf, it looks terrible :cry

Am I putting it on to thick?? not waiting long enough to wipe off?

Help!!! :confused:

I think you are not understanding the purpose of the Z-12, it does NOT lay down a coat of anything on the glass, it is an abrasive polish made to remove scratches, water spots and other imperfections, a nickel size dot is enough to polish about a one foot square area, you rub the Z-12 into the glass, then wipe off the residue, and follow up with a regular glass cleaner.

Z-12 will do that also, I never said it would not.
