qd is a MUST if u care about not having contaminants on the finish after a drive.

kenchan · 07-10-2016, 02:57 PM

if there was such thing as non-whitening polish, i would like to try it. u know, no longer having to have to mask seals and plastic would be real nice.

kenchan · 07-10-2016, 02:58 PM

cause hydro max, no need to mask. just spray and apply onto dry surface.

paint, glass, plastic, rubber seals, all OK. no white marks.

So I finally found the time to attack a full exterior detail yesterday (interior had been done a few days earlier)... Wash/dry, clayed the entire car, Dr. Colorchiped a few rock chips (pretty impressive results, btw, esp. on the PW), 2 coats of the Hyrdo Max on everything including wheels (this stuff is insanely easy to apply), Opti-Bond the tires and rainX the widows... 7.5 hours but, damn, that paint feels like glass!

That's 2 people who have liked the hydro stuff....

Guess I will be giving it a shot now.

'sigh', now if I only had more space and the garage was attached to the apartment....

With a 6' long tool box, an extra set of tires and wheels, plus the wire racks to hold miscellaneous power tools, I barely have space to park Belle. I need to rent a house when the apartment lease is up....

Is this the stuff you're talking about?

Prima Hydro MAX Super Spray Polymer

Edit: assuming it is, the 32oz refill size is on sale 50% off but on back order so I'll just wait and try it out when it's back in stock.
