Banana Gloss question

I just got a bottle of the Banana Gloss and I was wondering if someone can tell me what the consistency of the liquid should be... My Banana Gloss is VERY milky and liquidy, it does not look like wax at all...

Is this the right or did I get a bad batch?

Thanks guys.

Mine was more liquid-like than lotion-like. Just make sure that you shake the hell out of it for 3-5 minutes and it should be fine.

I shake all products vigorously, before, and during application. Banana Gloss when shaken properly, will look like milk, and is not very thick. The idea is to apply a VERY thin layer, spread evenly. Most folks tend to use to much product, which is a waste of product, and does not make the application better. Better to do 2-3 thin layers, rather than one heavy one. You will tend to be able to control keeping it off trim, and the multiple layers will help with getting everything coated.

Yup, it's pretty thin. Richard (Octane Guy) sent me a cool microfiber mitt with mine, and that works really well for applying it. You can easily work around all of the trim, etc, and it's easy to control the liquid-ness. Less than 30 minutes for a layer on a whole MINI on and off.

Yup it's really runny and thin. Mine separates after it sits for awhile. Shake it up well and it'll be fine!
