I received my Hydro Seal and Hydro Wash yesterday and tested it out this morning. My wife asks me, "Aren't you supposed to be working?" My response: "No way - I have Hydro Seal to try out!" My first impressions:

1. Hydro Wash - red - cool color. The soap works fine. Quite a bit more sudsy than Mystique. Not much more to say about Hydro Wash - it's a car wash soap.

2. Hydro Seal: I followed the instructions and it was very easy to apply/wipe off. No worries about getting it onto the trim. I expected it to be like a lotion, but it is rather runny. I'm not sure I was using the proper amount but there was plenty to go around and it soaked into the damp rag nicely. I used plenty from the small bottle and ended up using only about 20 percent of the bottle on the Mini. It's probably good for 3 or 4 more applications. The only problem I had was that the bottle became slippery and fell out of my hand several times, leaking some of the Hydro Seal onto my driveway! I started closing the pop-up lid to avoid any more spills.

Now that I am done: shiny, great looking Horizon Blue mini with some very minor spider webbing on the black roof mostly concealed by the Hydro Seal. It looks fantastic! I'll see how it wears over the next couple of weeks. I've never used Epic or any other wax so I don't have any comparisons. Having said that, it looks great and much better than I expected. Before I started, my car was quite dirty with lots of bugs to remove during the wash. It took about an hour and a half to wash/remove bugs, dry the car, apply the Hydro Seal and then clean the windows Hydro the tires.

Overall, I love it. Next week I may apply some Banana Gloss over the top just to see how it looks, but I'm satisfied as it is. Now that I have moved beyond just Hydro, the differences are very noticeable.

 

I ordered mine yesterday. Supposedly it takes a bit for the seal to completely set up, so it should look even better after a few more hours. You'll have to let us know.

 

I'll let you know how it looks in a few hours after it has a chance to set up. On another forum, Nick from Prima said I didn't need to use so much Hydro Seal and that it only takes about 2 ounces for the Mini. Oh well.
