1. Wash your aplicator sleeves every night.

2. Wash your scrims each night.

3. fresh water every day.

4. new rubber.

I have found if you keep your  equipment clean you cut down the marks, also detail the window first than squeegee.

Also micro fibre cloths are better than scrim for not leaving bits, and dont put to much window cleaning detergent in the water.
