Its a spray wax, that lasts about a month in everyday conditions. It gives great depth and leaves a glass smooth surface. And it smells great too! It really is a wonder juice.

Excuse me. I'm checking out for the rest of the day on personal business.

Does the car have to be clean (I mean really clean) first?

Yes, ideally you would spray Hydro on while the car is still wet after you wash, then dry the car and buff it in at the same time.

I believe Heather mentioned that you could use Hydro like a "QD" as well, but you want to make sure your car is clean and dust free and to use the "fluffiest" and softest MF cloth you got so as to not cause swirls or scratches to the paint.

GO GO HYDRO WONDER JUICE!
