It's called California Gold or something like that. Seems like it always leaves more streaks than it removes... I use a polishing cloth to apply/remove... any suggestions?

I only use the spray as a lubricant for Mother's Clay Bar.

like msgs1, with the "clay" but also for quick touchups.

I use it to disolve bird dung and tree sap after a day of parking too. I always use 100% white cotton cloths with them.

rubbing fine dirt into the paint--scratches!

I think most/all detailing sprays contain a little bit of wax, suspended in a water solution. The problem, as I've experienced it, is that when spraying and wiping this stuff on your car's finish it's hard to apply it uniformly, so it streaks easily. Net result for me is that using a detailing spray ends up being nearly as much work as regular waxing, due to the amount of elbow grease that's needed to eliminate the streaking and make it look absolutely right. I'd be happy to hear suggestions from other users, but here's what I've found works best: Spray it on; spread it around with a cotton detailing cloth; then switch to another clean dry detailing cloth to buff it.

I use One Grand Show Off quick detailer but this trick would work on any brand. Spray up into the air at about 45 degrees from the horziontal. A very fine mist covers the area you are detailing, use just a little but let it mist onto your car. A wipe with a "micro fiber" cloth leaves the surface looking better than new.
