Info on using Hydro Seal

I have had my new mini for a few days. I washed it last night and then applied Hyrdo seal after washing with Hyrdo wash. Anybody have any tips on applying hydro seal? I did exactly as the directions said but I am not sure how much surface area each "quarter dollop" should cover.

Also, is Hydro Seal enough of a wax? I really like how easy it is to apply and if no other wax is needed then I will likely just apply hyrdo seal every couple of months.

Hydro Seal is indeed "enough" of a wax. It's a polymer sealant just like Epic but with the benefit of being super easy to use. Don't discount the ease of application for being short lasting! Prima says it can last up to 8 months. I think 4 to 6 months is a safe enough bet.

When you apply Hydro Seal, it goes on easily panel by panel. As you buff it, it turns clear and nearly dry. Dry it with a second microfiber towel to remove any residue.

When I am using original Hydro for a Spray and Wax, I now combine it with Hydro Seal on the front bumpers, mirror caps, and anywhere that I desire the highest lubricity.
