    Had thunder storms last night and this am. Thought it was cloudy enough to use the hydro....

    I got high spots all over.

    hydro 2 problem

    I don`t know its durable enough to level with a fine polish. Maybe another wipe down with a QD.

    It`s very picky about the 3:1 dilution
    I usually do no more than 2 sprays then spread with damp microfiber sponge per panel then rinse. Hood 4 broken in half.
    It`s not Nattys

    Ron did you use a lot of high pressure to rinse it ?? The only time I had problems was when I didn`t rinse enough.

    Of course I used too much..... But that said, I did one panel at a time rinsed with hard jet of water then kept rinsing for a long time, then move to next panel. I did just see on ag, that for black car should be 1/6 dilution

    Re: hydro 2 problem

    I would give it a buff by hand first with a red pad an then by da, try a really light polish like 85rd or even top finish glaze.

    Possible not enough pressure or concentrated enough stream.

    They way I`m doing it is the slow way but wanted to make sure total coverage. From what I`ve seen the pressure is what levels and rinses excess.

    Re: hydro 2 problem

    I really did hit it hard and long, then went to more rinsing.

    As I said, I read that on black/dark colors they advised to lower the dilution

    Good to know! I was going to pick up some after I run out of reload. I hope you can buff it out and not have to polish.

    Would a jeweling pad and glaze be enough to knock out high spots if I ever run into them? Or what pad would you recommend using?

    RON!!! Foam your car with a strong APC itll come off. Dont polish! You`ll affect the UK. And Also I found using hydro 4:1 it is WAY more user friendly. Hydro is not a coating you can take it off like wax my friend! In fact even using Wet diamond will knock them down.

    P.S. Don`t over think this! Treat it just like wax! But keep your UK!
