I use Prima Hydro when drying my MINI after a wash, about once a week. Between washings I touch-up with Slick. Is this stuff building up on the finish? Or does it all wash off with each wash. So far it looks great but I don't want to keep "pilling it on" if it is collecting.

 

yah, by next year your car will be like 2x bigger.




hydro does build up if you keep applying it every week. which
is a good thing, btw.

im not sure about slick. i think it washes off.

 

I do the same thing, except I don't "touch up" with Slick in between washings. I would worry about any dust/dirt I might miss brushing/wiping off. I usually apply Slick every other wash right after using Hydro.

 

actually its better not to touch Hydro until it fully cures 24hrs later.

when you slick it some of the Hydro seems to come off when you wipe off.

 

I just use the Hydro like a QD with great results! Haven't tried the Slick, is there really more shine than Hydro used dry?

 

slick is shiny. hydro is deep gloss reflection.

big difference, actually.

 

Oh crap...now I'm gonna have to order some...

 

Hydro offers protection, swirl filling ability, and gloss

Slick offers extremely high gloss to the paint and prevents contaminants from sticking.

Which one should you use? Depends on what you're trying to achieve. I use Hydro to clean off my wheels to give me some protection against future brake dust buildup.

I want Slicdro or Hydlick - best of both worlds!

 

Sounds like characters from one of those "movies" I saw down on campus in the 70's.

 

I don't know. Hydlick sounds more like something you do in bed.

 

yous guys are in need of detailing ... dirty, dirty, dirty.
BTW, we watched those same movies on campus in the 80's.

 

Crapola. Now I have one of those soundtracks stuck in my head.
