Default CrystalGuard is slicker than snail snot

I applied my second coat of CG saturday, a few days after my first application. My car was pretty much dry this time, so I used a small spray bottle with water in it to wet the car down before I applied the CG. Sunday morning, I noticed quite a few hazy streaks on the car (didn't get that the first time) but I went over the whole car with a clean microfiber towel, and they were gone.

Anyway, Sunday was the next round for autocross, so I took off up to Candlestick for the event. After I registered, I realized that I had forgotten my magnetic numbers at home. I tried making some with a sheet of paper, but, get this, masking tape wouldn't stick to my car!!! I was trying to find someone with some duct tape or something maybe, but decided it was a bad idea and eventually found someone who had some extra magnetic numbers that I could use. When I was walking around, asking for help, one guy said my car must be slicker than snail snot, and two others didn't believe that the tape wouldn't stick.

I also did an application to the front rims, (actually, just one of the rims) and I'll post pics after a week or so to see if anyone can tell the difference.

BTW that haze is holdover fromchemical reaction. since you have CG layer already, with a new applicaiton, additonal CG reacts with existing CG layer to bond each other.

FYI
