Every product from Bona is listed with very specific instructions. Before applying and accusing Bona of ruining anything, I suggest reading the instructions. The foot marks come from over using the product as well as not giving it 24 hours as it says on the bottle. Streaks is another problem due to misreading or not reading at all. You must go with the grain of the wood, NOT against. I use all Bona products for my home and office and never once had an issue. Bona is rated very highly on my list. Only down side is that I cannot find this in a gallon size.
