Seeing a few new spray on/rinse off coatings now

Dan said:
Likely true, but could you explain the differences? Other than UV protection and water beading, what other protective qualities do the rinse away coatings offer?

I call it a sealant rather than a coating as it doesn't fit my definition of coating.



But I should add its entirely different technology than traditional sealants. This is new technology (not from the 90s)



I won't generalize because the only other rinse away sealant I used lasted less than two weeks and exhibited completely different properties from Hydro2.



Here's a link about the protections it aids in.

What about looks ??? I want a head turner like my Zymol Vintage gives (or a quality nuba).

It is a head turner... :)



(as mentioned by Thomas) offers incredible gloss and a unique slickness.



I was just texting with a friend last night as he contacted to ask if it had filling capabilities. He, I, and those I have talked to, notice a clear difference in the gloss level. He had applied it to a car that had not yet been polished and was very happy still.

I would have been happy with a month with Hydro2 but I'm truly thrilled at this point. Comes out to about 3$ a car but saves 1-2 hours (way more than 3$) in labor. It's a true game changer in my opinion.

I'm a bit confused about this product and naturally sceptical. Please school me.

1-2hrs compared to what?

A few months isn't all that impressive. Apart from the application method, how is it a gamechanger?
 
I'm so sorry I must have misunderstood your question. I did not see the beginning of your post in the email I received.



The answer would be Wax.



Wax takes an hour minimum to apply and remove.



This takes 3 minutes

I'm all for some good marketing. But an hour to apply a traditional wax?
 
Yeah, I can apply wax or sealant by hand or pc in aboit 20 mins with removal. Not that I wouldnt mind cutting that further, plus being able to get all cracks and crevices too.
 
Well, that's great if you can apply wax in 20 minutes without hitting trim and buff it off too!



Do you seal all the wheels in 20 minutes as well and the wells, and the calipers?



That's impressive



Many others love it and based on the feedback I thought I would tell people here about it.



:cheers:
 
With most lsp's I use I got right over trim. Im not the one questioning why this product could be useful, I understand the time savings and youll see I said getting all the normally untouched areas would be great. I am however always skeptical of new products that make bold claims but it seems yours are holding up.
 
My biggest holdup is the no-sun usage. That's almost a deal killer for me. My collinite, optiseal, power lock, bfwd, etc all go on fine in full sun. Plus in sun, leaving water on the vehicle as this requires causes spotting problems of its own.



Question, when applying you spray over an already wet panel or you must spray onto dry?
 
I lumped my responses together previously.

Well said, as you should be! I feel very much the same. When in doubt wait it out :)
 
I gotta admit, my interest is up. If Thomas is giving it a thumbs up, then my next LSP will have to be it. I am at work so the net nanny has blocked all the videos but I'm taking tonight off, plan on sitting in the Laz-Z-Boy and looking at the vids.
 
Another plus that I have noticed is the lack of contamination on certain panels that normally accumulate with traditional waxes and sealants. Until you try it, you really don't get what we are saying. And ii can see that. It really is something different. The one thing you want to watch is to not overapply and waste the product. I little bit goes a long way. I use these 4oz bottles with a sprayer on that really mists. That is what you want.

Wow that's fast!! It takes me at least an hour no matter how fast I try to go. I must be doing something wrong.
 
I just ordered some Hydro2 today! I cant wait to try it out on the vehicle I have to work on Thursday. I think it will be a true game changer for me! Time is money in this business!
 
I would love to see a similar product targeted at underbody corrosion protection.

Question: how can this be a sealant if it can be applied over wax? How would it then adhere to the paint.

This is much different technology than the traditional sealants. You aren't buffing a high solvent product in over the wax for starters. Still, based on Cquartz and Reload experience I did not expect it to adhere to waxes but it does based on my testing.
