Does Slick remove Hydro?

I use Hydro on a regular basis. I use it after every wash and often in between. However, for spot cleaning I use slick (bugs on the front, small tar spots behind the front wheels, etc). My question is this: when I wipe down with Slick am I removing the Hydro? I know Hydro provides only minimal protection for a shorter period than a true wax but I use it often. So, I am wondering if I am undoing the benefits of Hydro when I use Slick afterwards.

No, Slick shouldn't remove Hydro. It has light cleaning properties but mostly lifting properties and won't remove wax.

i doubt slick itself removes hydro, but the bug that got stuck to your
paint could remove it when you use QD to remove its guts.

slick will leave behind a nice teflon like slick surface until your next
Hydro app.
