I have the same horrible humidity. Never had any streaking issues.

did you put fabric softener in with your microfibers?
that leaves them nasty.

Streaking
If this was a first time occuracne it is possible the air conditioner has a leak and the freeon has released into the garage. There is oild mixed in to lubricate the compressor. Just trying to think out of the box.

I think I just did an overall shitty job, I started over today and didnt have any issues, but I hand dried my Camaro instead of using my gas blower, I may have to retire it.... |

I was told never to use a gas leaf blower to dry a car, shoots oil all over it, just get one of those big ass waffle towels and your all good for drying, I don't even have to wring it out before I'm done

I have been washing cars for over 30 years and have no idea what a leaf blower in the process would be for...

Helps with the drying process. A good handful of people use them. On the other hand, if you have a nicely sealed/waxed clear coat and sheet the water, there really isn't a use.

I find that sometimes the " humidity and heat" in Florida does play in this. I use a electric blowner and try to do this early or late in the day in the shade. Another factor is the way the towels are wash too.

2 stroke oil makes a terrible spray detailer
