Streaking usually indicates a wax isn't dry when you try to remove it. Also, ICE is full of oils, so if you lay it on thick, whatever towel(s) you're using to buff it off will becomes saturated pretty quickly.

I love ICE...never had a problem with it. you can try a spritz of water and rewipe it with a microfiber towel, that's what i've done with all waxes and polishes when i had streaking issues...works for me

yea u def need to use microfiber towel, i once used some terry towels i had lying around, man my arm nearly fell off trying to remove that stuff, and thats how it looked streaky, and u dont want to apply to much of it bc then it's pretty hard to remove.

takes me about 30-45 mintues to buff the ice on my car because it's black. you might wanna try a polishing type towel. I tried a regular towel and it didn't work well at all.

On the bottle I do believe it says something to the effect of "if streaking occurs, wipe with a wet towel, then buff to a streak free shine with a dry towel"
