Washing my car last weekend and as I park under a tree I get some sap in the warmer weather, so I thought id spray rapid dirt shifter around the car first before I rinsed it off then start my normal wash.
Firstly I tried it on the one side of the car , let it dwell for no more then 2 mins then rinsed it off.
It left the worst streaks I have ever seen in my life!
So on the bonnet and the front of the car I sprayed less thinking I used too much but again it left really bad streaks.
Not a problem as I washed it off after but am I doing something wrong with the dirt shifter?
