Absolutely! Prima Hydro is safe on literally everything.

It will enhance and protect all it touches.

My hand - it's protected!

I use Hydro on the outside of my glass to help keep it clean. Does great with no smearing.

Hydro is an awesome product. It really does cut through some grime, but leaves glass fealing great, and the paint feeling better. Definately a great wax as you dry product. Heres a pic of my mum's car after a wash with Mystique, wheels and tires with P21S, and 2 layers of Hydro (one as I got most of the water off with a Dual Pyle, the other to really dry it up and make it shine with a Monster).

So using #7 after M80 is really an extra step that doesn't offer much benefits.

I'll do that test though--once I'm situated in my new shop within the next two weeks, I've got a bunch of different tests planned to showcase the performance and effects of various products.

Interesting. Richard, have you had the opportunity to run these tests?

Yes, and I found no significant improvement by using #7 after M80. My preference is to actually follow M80 with Amigo which acts in a similar way to #7, then go to Epic.
