Verrrrrryyyy nice Octane Guy. I've watched your DVD and hope to find time to apply some Epic this weekend. Heather told me that I could use the white pad that came with my PC and the Epic w/o polishing first since my car is new and doesn't have scratches nor swirls yet. I've been using the Hydro after washing Flo cause it's just so easy, but I think I need to apply a layer of Epic before the hot weather gets here.

octaneguy, that Vette looks great...but I agree with Kenchen, still not as warm as I like on a dark color..its more shinny and wet looking. I am going to stick with BoS on my BRG...However, I love epic on white and am going to try it on my mothers Gold Murono.

Yah, but BofS you can get a warm reflection any time of the day. Well, not in pitch black... lol.

Wanted to detail that car (legacy) but will need to wait until next weekend.
Its been too cold this week with freezing temps so had to skip my order to DP.

(Opera mini doesn't allow me to make long posts )

Yes, Prima Hydro can be used over any other synthetic wax or system, including Zaino and Klasse. In fact, it really has a nice combined effect over both of those particular systems.

For example, if you love Zaino but wish it had just a little more warmth and wetness, top with Hydro. The result is unique: it adds a nice pop to Zaino. We've had excellent customer feedback on this combo in particular.

We had a big rain 2 nites ago & I think that might be the end of the pollen but I think I am going to wait & do my big detail on April 20th or 27th so I can drive a little chili red mirror to MOTD

Did you deflower your PC yet?

Yep, April is a rough month for me. I'm working on a project at the house (pics to come). Then I have some painting to do before some new carpet is installed. Then I go on a two-week business trip. Pretty much blows the whole month.

That's okay, the CR MINI still looks pretty darn good so it can wait until May. Besides, we have our Founder's Day celebration here at work in June and they're doing a "Show Off Your Car" event so he'll be nice and shiny and swirl-free for that.

No no, you are supposed to respond like any other retailer and say it will only work exclusively with your own product! That's what really sets you apart...

It's what I guessed and I'm glad to hear it. I'll add it to my next DP order whenever I have some funds to do so. Mostly because I really like how the whole product works, and of course I can't ignore Kenchan's addiction!

I sure will! Of course, people will start to say I'm crazy for talking to myself.

Seriously though, we do have a nice long list of requests and other cool products that are currently in development and testing. Although we'll probably leave carnauba paste waxes alone for at least the near future, we may have a carnauba-based and carnauba-friendly spray wax/QD sometime down the line.

I'll start putting more pressure on Prima to get going on that.

A QD would be lovely but only if it can be sprayed on like Hydro. I want something like Hydro that you spray on while wet so I don't have to add an extra step of drying then spraying on & buffing off QD I am trying to simplify things not add more. So please pass that along to the R&D Department

dang, i accidentally posted on the wrong thread!

here you go...

alright, 3 full weeks no wash countless rain since the last hydro app.
there was no wax under Hydro.

the car is still beading rain and the wetness of Hydro shines through the
dust. my wife's gotten many complients about my legacy
and everyone she talked to (her clients) complimented her how well
she took care of the car. lol!!! yeah right!

wife said people thought she was a car-girl type cause it is a nice
looking wagon (kinda sporty looking), black, and with the Hydro it
shines very rich and wet. she knows next to nothing about
cars. to demonstrate, she even had a corolla that she actually 'liked'
before... i can go on and on about that pos corolla, how no car person
will ever like a corolla...anyway, back to subject...

so... i am extremely convinced i struck gold!

i haven't even had the chance to polish it yet after winter...but
you guys saw octaneguy's demo of how well it cleared up histogram.
my legacy has very little swirls so you can kinda guess how nice it
looks.
