edubledie- so, did i turn you into a Prima addict yet?

LOL

join the gallon club (you need 3 gallons to be in the club)

Here's mine:
Hydo
Slick
Clarity

 

hahah gallon ?.....i figure a nice 22 oz. tester is good enough for now ....if i need more ill def buy it im gonna see if it lives up to the hype lol i bought hydro and epic though ..i heard somewhere that for headlights and scratches on plastic you can epic and hydro it .....what im asking really is ....since my joey mod is seems like the lens on my heads looks a little more rough maybe from all the handling over that mod but will hyrdro take car of that ? i heard somewhere someone hydroed an ipod to get all the swirls and sratches off ....anywho what would you guys suggest for very minorly pitted and scratches headlight lenses

 

Yes walk before you run.

 

nono, we already ran for you. just get the gallon.

lol

 

My regret is not getting a gallon from day one.

The stuff is awesome. I use it like 2 out of 3-4 times I wash. I try and not use it every time as it would be a bit redundant. If I wash once a week, I do it every other time unless I am going to a special occasion.

 

have to say i refilled my little Hydro and Slick bottles today from my
GALLON bottles.

 

Is that all ? No gallon of Mystique ?

And you spelled HydRo wrong !!!

 

Mystique is a must have gallon.
I may not use Slick, Hydro or Clarity every weekend, but I darn sure do use at least 3 oz of Mystique.

 

oh crapola!

yah, i still have like half gallon of Griot's CarWash left.

 

ok heres a doozy....someone take the time in lamens terms and mini talk what prima products are good for what ....oh and in ABC order lol

 

M is for Mystique that washes your MINI so shiny
I is for those dealer induced swirls that can be hidden with Hydro
N is for Nero that leaves your inside plastic parts so clean and protected
I is for the insane gloss that only Epic can leave.

 

Pay the gallon for Hydro
Reminds me to buy a gallon of Hydro
Is that your gallon of Hydro?
My gallon of Hydro.
Also another gallon of Hydro

just get your gallon!

 

gallon of hydro is 70 dollars

tad up there. i want it, will get it, but jeez, its pricey.

 

That gallon should last you about two years. Me... not quite so long.

 

Since the smartazzes were too busy writing song lyrics to answer you straight (I think somebody hit the Goldschlager too hard last night...):

Mystique - car wash concentrate - great lifting ability, plus polymers to boost your shine all by itself

Hydro - Wax-as-you-dry product - spritz a little on your wet car, and dry with a waffle weave towel. Gives a nice glossy, somewhat deep shine, and hides swirls.

Slick - Super slippery polymer quick detailer. GREAT lifting action for removing bugs, dust and smudges and giving you a just-washed-and-hydro'd look - results in a wet shine that is sooooo slick
nothing much will stick to it (great for QDing your wheels for this reason)

Wheel Shield - light polish and high-temperature polymer sealant for your painted wheels. Makes brake dust easy to remove when washing, or with slick between washes.

Nero - great interior vinyl/plastic protectant, leaves a nice matte finish, not oily at all, and great smell

Epic - GREAT polymer sealant ("wax"), lasts 3-6 months (or more with regular Hydro application), super wet & glossy

Glide - new lubricant for claying

Cut, Swirl, Finish - polishes for use with a random orbital polisher (aka PC) - for most of us, Swirl all by itself is sufficient for MINI paint

Amigo - quasi-polish-glaze - a somewhat unique product that can polish out minor paint imperfections (when used with a PC) and fills remaining imperfections. A great, quick, easy prep polish before using Epic if you don't have significant swirling to deal with.

I did it more random (but logical for me) order...

 

i think it will last me another season for sure.

 

lol, but your explanation is not accurate. Hydro is not
"somewhat deep shine" it is very deep shine just as deep as Epic.

let's get more experience with Hydro, please.

 

As one of the non OCD members here. I can say Prima is a very good product. They might cost a tad more than off the shelf but they work extremely well together and produce an amazing result with little effort.

BC's post nailed it on the head in regards to what product does what. Talk with Heather, let her know your needs and desires and she'll work with you.

Personally, DP's customer service is outstanding. Something I'm sure everyone can attest too, is a rare thing this day and age.

 

Prima for your wax.
Hydro after every wash will give you a deep shine and hide the swirls.
Slick to do touchups in between washes. It has lifting power.
Clarity for windows. It is the best window cleaner period (Don't ever let your wife try it or you will never see it again)

 

Don't forget to tell him about:

Cut
Swirl
Finish
Amigo

Might as well throw some more options (and confusion) in there.

 

Figured I didnt want to overload him with all the different product so started with the basics

 

Sweet! I'm in the gallon club LOL! I ordered that stuff the other day

 

you da man, Johv! welcome.
