Hydro and WOW issue...

I got home last night and the first thing I notice is my Wifes Durango all clean and looking really good. Usally my wife just takes it to a car wash but I was impressed this time since it stood out.

So during the Yankee game last night see blurts out hey you need to get more of that spray. I was like OMG see used my Hydro on that huge Durango so I got up and ran down to the garage only to find out I am real low :(

Come to find out she used WOW as well. Her car looks awesome so my problem is I need to buy more or lock it up

She also used my microfiber towels :( She now wants to hand wash her car all the time and use my stuff :( Is there a fix for this?

I am glad she used the Hydro and WOW and will have to make sure I keep a eye on the inventory..

You may as well just start buying Hydro by the gallon. In the long run it will save you money. Have you tried Clarity yet? It is another candidate to be bought by the gallon

Yup, the same thing happened to me! First my husband was making fun of all my "stuff"...then he started using it all! Gallon sizes are the solution!

Hey what is a good soap? I am finally almost out of my Armor All car soap (I had to use it up) and I am in the market to try something new.

What is clarity?

Clarity is Prima's glass cleaner, and it's amazing. Once you try it you'll want it by the gallon. Get the glass cleaning cloths, too.

And if you're gonna order by the gallon, might as well try some Mystique (Prima wash soap).

Do you use Calrity just on the inside of the windows or outside as well? I have been using Hydro on the outside and armor all glass on the inside.

I read this is like many folks, my first thought was, "OMG! She used up all the Hydro!" But my second thought is, wow- that's awesome! You and your wife have another commonality between you. And that's always a good thing! Sure you go through the H/W/MF twice as fast. A small price to pay for happiness!

I use Clarity inside & out & frankly after using it on the MINI I now use it on every glass surface inside my house too (thus the need for a gallon ) Clarity is the most effortleass, streak-free glass cleaner I have ever seen. It's amazing The MF glass cleaning cloth is a must-have purchase with the Clarity

Get mystique car wash; a good lambswool mitt (if you don't have one); Four star ultimate tire gel; a couple os monster fluffy MF towels, a waffle weave drying towel; 303 Aerospace Protectant... uhhhh that's all I can come up with now that should get you thru a good wash day

You might look at the different Paradise Starter Bundles to see if any of them will get you covered.

jeff- take advantage of DP's father's day sales and get another pair of
waffle weave towels for you and your wife.

hydro's so easy to use even people that didnt like washing cars now
dont mind doing it for fun.

wish the weather would behave....its been raining off/on the last
couple of days. haven't had a change to wash my commuters for almost
3 weeks now. hydro's still working great on the car though.

Call Heather instead of ordering on-line, she will be able to suggest exactly what you need and set you up. "Future member of Official Hydro users club"
