Glad I could motivate!!

I did the whole car with UWWA first. That did a pretty good job but it really came to life after the quick wax. I went over the whole car (except matte racing stripes). I didn't use the quick detail at all yet.

I did go back the next morning and wash the wheels/tires and Hot Shine the tires. I also used invisible glass all the way around. Unfortunately the pollen it it so not as pretty as the night efore but still enough to be proud of.

The only negative I can say at all is the UWWA streaks glass and tends to leave a slight haze on the car. The second pass with quick wax and invisible glass really makes the difference.

Thanks for all the support guys, feels good too have a spotless car. Now its been a few days I need to do it again.. lol.

EDIT: FYI the 3-4 washed est on the UWWA is BS.. I'll be lucky to get two out of it.

Not that it would really hurt, but I don't think I'd use the UWWA on your glass. It's streaking because you're putting wax on your glass which will turn foggy or streaky and then you're removing the streaks using Invisible Glass because it's stripping the wax back off (at least I think IG would strip wax off). I'd just use the Invisible Glass alone on the windows, maybe some Rain-X on the windshield if you'd like.

If it's streaking on the paint, you may be using too much (you noted it not lasting as long as it says) or letting it dry too much. A quick detailer or wax should take care of that though like you've found.

When I do my glass I use a glass clay bar first then go back over with glass cleaner.
