HydrO2 Touchless Silica Car Sealant - Spray-On/Rinse-Off Paint Sealant, Concentrated Car Wash Detailer, UV Protection - Liter (34oz)

I keep Cquartz with periodic coats of Reload on my vehicles and just purchased a new truck. Still a little cold here so I wanted to wait a month or two to do some paint correction and coat it the truck with Cquartz. Thought I'd try this to get me there. I was pretty amazed how great it did. Very simple to apply and results are amazing, surface is very hard, deep shine and slick as glass. I applied in 40 degree temps not sure what the top end of temps are but I'd guess 80 max. Warmer the temps faster you'll have to work. I did spread the mist with a wet micro towel to insure coverage. Not sure if its necessary but definitely worked. I also made sure to keep the whole truck wet throughout the process and do a really thorough rinse. I also recommend carpro PERL for your tires and plastics, easy application and long lasting.

As a professional detailer, who installs full ceramic coatings. I not only use this, but recommend it for two different things. It's a great professional or diyer topper for ceramic coatings. It's also a great option if a full ceramic coating is out of your budget. Real world expectations of durability is about 4 months. Assuming no harsh chemicals are used to clean vehicle. You'll get all the protection from a full ceramic coating. Minus the durability and swirl resistance. Keep in mind before purchasing. You will need a power washer to apply this product. As it's a very simple and touch less install. Shower it's pressure activated. Hence the need for. Power washer.

I have been using for years it is the easisest sealent you can find very good results . Dont apply unless you have clayed and polished paint you dont want to trap dirt into paint.

Great product that gives a good shine. Pros: easy to apply (must dilute 1:6) but takes less effort than most waxes to apply gives a nice silky feel to car Cons: must still wipe while wet (this is important to do prior to it drying otherwise you will get water spots/streaks) pricey I used it on 4 of my vehicles (2 of which are black). The first time I did it and did not wipe while still wet just after the rinse part. It dried and left water streaks. On the second black vehicle I made sure that just after the rinse and before it dried, I took a fiber cloth and wiped it dry. I dont' know how it will hold up to the PNW rain but it was so easy to use that I'm way more willing and likely to use it after touchless car washes. I will update the review when more weather/time as passed. Update 7-13-18 2 months have passed. 900 miles and 2 weeks rainy PNW weather. I went to wash the sequoia for the first time after the initial application. The water still was beading off the sealant. Made it so much easier to wash and clean. I reapplied the sealant but this time 5:1. Instead of applying it and washing it off, I sprayed it and buffed it in with a microfiber cloth. It did make it easier to prevent water spots on the black SUV doing it this way vs. the wash off technique. I realize this is not how the manufacturer intended to apply it but I wanted to see what would happen. The finish felt and looked as good with the wash off technique. I'll update the review to see if this technique will last longer or provide more of a hydrophobic effect.

I have been using this product for almost ten years and I love it. Simple to apply and last for a decent amount of time.

May not last as long as most sealants however the ease of install well makes up for it. You can easily seal a large SUV like a Suburban, Escalade etc in mins. The hydrophobic capability is 100% for the first few days, then about 85% for the remaining 2 months. If you just reapplied this Hydro2 every 2 months your golden. This is by far the fastest and easiest product I have ever used for hydrophobic sealing. I will not buy any more wax products. I mixed at a 1:6 ratio with distilled water, had zero spots or streaking issues some others have reported. This was on a black car. It will leave a slight oily film which makes fingerprints, but again ease of install makes up for all negatives. Expensive.

Great product that works

Edit #2: I been using the same 500ml bottle fog months now. I've used it on several cars that I've cleaned. Hydro2 is now an irreplaceable item in my inventory. Sray on, then pressure wash off. Like my review says, claying before application helps a bunch. I need another bottle. I'll probably buy to 1L next time. More than 5 stars if possible. Edit: expired or not, this stuff is awesome! I don't know if I can justify the price (about $7/car) but it is really easy to use. I used a 7:1 ratio and it worked beautifully on my vehicle. I had previously cleaned, clayed, polished, and sealed my suv before winter. I cleaned all the winter grime off and applied this. The only thing I have left to wonder about is how long it will last. I haven't had the chance to use this yet. But there is an expiration date on it that says it expired over a month ago. Should I be worried? If it's gone bad, I don't want it ruining my paint. I'll update my review with the good or bad news after I put it on a test panel.
