I didn't notice any streaks so I wouldn't know the answer to that but I did notice once between my fingers that they were orange where some must have been left and not rubbed in fully I guess.

I use a lot because I'm fair skinned. I haven't gotten any streaks and it hasn't turned my hands orange.

I normally use a good amount of product, I just make sure I rub it in well and so far never had any streaks. But on my hands, I use a very small amount. No need to wipe your hands afterwards

Definitely rub it in very very good and yes I wipe my hands with tanning bed cleaner!

I use more than just a dime size, on each leg, and rub it all over smoothly. Also I wash my hands before I tan. With tanning in the bed and in the sun your hands are going to tan. Some of the other brands of lotion has turned me orange and streaked my self but this particular one doesn't. If you do not rub it all over you will be streaked. Just try in on a small area before you tan to check the color. Put a small amount on your ankle or wrist in the A.M. and check P.M. to see the color. Hope this helps.

It dosnt turn my hands orange even if I don't wash them off. This stuff STICKS though. Tans well for the price tag. No streaks or anything like that.

When I used POR-15 for the same type thing I used masking tape to protect the adjacent area, but you should still be very careful because it tends to run under the tape. You can also wipe it off with a rag right after applying if you do it right away. The key is to realize that it has run, so you would have to remove the tape right after applying to see if you had any runs. If you did have runs, it will wipe right off. Use lacquer thinner to clean your brushes etc..., and if you need it to wipe off runs it works well. I was very pleased with the result of using POR-15, it was the first time I've ever done anything like that and I was pleased with the result.

I was fortunate and didn't have any residue left. Try using a little goo gone. Don't really have anything to lose if you can't use it all sticky

Hi Teresa. I get a pack of those really thin see thru gloves that you get with hair dye and as I spray if it doesn't go on evenly I rub it. I find if I spray it on my legs that I am using the gloves a lot till I get the result I want. The rest of my body I am able mostly to just spray it on but it isn't as dark as my legs which is by choice and of course my back I have my husband spray it and use the gloves if he needs to.

The initial color guide will wash off with any water. i agree with others that applying the.night before and showering the next day will be your best bet. It leaves you stained a tan color. It fades nicely without leaving streaks. Hope that helps!

I just used clean hands, and would apply on face. I would use the extra on my fingertips as a scrub for my hands. Made my hands so smooth!

I use wild orange all the time. Just be sure to clean it frequently. The instructions recommend cleaning it with vinegar and water after every 10 hours of use.

Julie,It is normal for the product to run. My advice to you is instead of putting it on a cotton swab, pour a bit on the back of your hand and apply the product with your fingers because that way you get the most benefit of the product. This is the way I've been using it since I first started using the product. Hope this helps!!!

Wiping it down when you get it will help significantly, yes. But, for me, it didn't completely fix it. It still rubbed off on my hands a little bit the next 4 or 5 times I used it, but after that, it was fine. And it's still all-black, so it's not a cosmetic issue with the tool.

It may discolor-but if it is an inconspicuous place, it may be worth it. You can also try pure essential orange oil...and scrub hard.

I used EnduroShield exactly as instructed. I really didn't see a difference compared to before I used it. The instructions tell you to wash the glass once a week with a mild cleaner and a microfiber cloth. I used to wash the glass about every other week with a regular strength cleaner. I would save my money if I had it to do over again. Better yet, buy a good squeegee and wipe the glass down after every/every other shower. That is the absolute best way. Now.....about that $200..... I would guess they are using exactly that and upcharging for it and adding labor costs. However, that is just a guess. I used EnduroShield exactly as instructed.

I just use my hands and make small circular motions with my finger-tips. You want to be gentle with it and not rub too hard. Follow up with a moisturizer and you're good to go.

Not silly question. You'll have to wash your hands. Otherwise it gets your hands orange. Not your body, but for some reason hands. Must be because it's different skin.

I just try and reach back as far as possible. Tan towels don't streak ~ it always looks natural and if you miss a spot I guess you really can't tell. I love this product the best of any self tanning products. Give it a try!!

I spray then smooth it in similar to applying lotion. The only time I have streaking using this method is if I sweat before I have rinsed in the shower.

I absolutely love this stuff I bought another bottle. It seems to be even on me... I quickly put it on before I jump in the bed... let it dry!! I noticed a line on my arm where I had bent my arm to apply else where... but nothing bad. I even apply if I'm not getting in the bed. So to answer your question, no it shouldn't leave streaks. It doesn't on me.
