IMHO you should still do a major detail a few times a year & apply a full coat of wax. Then use Hydro when washing to keep things perfect

 

Oh yea, so do I but I also have a gallon of Nero! So there! (I am in the process of reoganizing my garage storage...for now I have gallon jugs just about everywhere! )

 

Hmmmmmmmmm.... I don't know if I would Hydro every time I wash. I wash the MINIs so often, I'm afraid I'd have a half inch of wax build by the time my 6-month major detailing date came around.

 

hmmmm that's good to know. I just used Hydro for the 1st time a few weeks ago & I am debating not using carnauba over the Klasse twins when I detail & switching to Hydro so I can apply it between my major details. I dunno though I love my carnauba but I didn't realize the Hydro was that strong.

 

tt, That was more of a question than a definitive statement. I've not used the Hydro YET, so I'm just assuming I wouldn't want to use it that often. I wash the MINIs every week so I'd worry about having too much wax build up from the Hydro if I used it *that* often. I'm thinking once every third wash, or so.

 

MBE Heather or OG will chime in & let us know I figure I can try the Hydro instead of my carnauba when I break out the PC & if I don't like it as much I can carnauba over it in a few weeks

 

Heather at DP told me that Hydro'ing on every wash is way overkill, assuming one has a true wax layer. I used Hydro for about three straight washes after a layer of Epic was put on. My thought was to build up a good base. Now I plan to Hydro once a month or so (or even less if the weather is mild). Note I live in a sunny and dusty climate...so YMMV.

 

"hopelessly ****" is a very accurate terminology and is well expected
in our community.

 

i think like-like chemicals break down each other causing it to actually
level off after subsequent applications...meaning, it is similar to 2 coating
a wax to get consistency, not so much a stack on top of each other to
the point your MINI's as big as a Hummer in a few weeks. lol

 

Ken did you have little Hydrogasm as you were typing all that

 

 

Ken needs to have Mark change his NAM ID...

Hydrogasm rocks.

 

I can't stop laughing...

I can see the nametag at MOTD or whatever:

"Hello - My Name is Hydrogasm"



Heather can make up shirts (bamatt gets the first one)

"Have you had your Hydrogasm today"
with a little pic of Ken's face contorted in Hydrogasm ecstacy



Somebody make it stop... I've fallen and I can't get up...

 

Why wax when you can hydrogasm

 

I'm surprized no one mentioned the luscious smell of Hydro!

 

That is a given in the hydrogasm experience

 

oh my.... looks like we have several members that sniffed Hydro too deeply today.

 

Hmmmmmm, wish I wuz havin wut you guys are having stead of bein here at my desk.

 

Looks like I'm going to be able to wash my commuters this weekend. which means, Hydro time!

Amazingly the last app easily lasted full 4 weeks without a wash.

The water's still beading and the wet gloss is still there.

 

Yeah- I'm really loving what Hydro did for our neglected minivan!

And what it does to maintain the Epic finish on Blimey!

My gallon just arrived yesterday...

 

blimey- welcome to the gallon club!

 

oh, wait there's a club?

 

I'm ashamed to admit it but as I was unpacking my DP Super Bundle yesterday I took a wiff of Hydro and was quite amazed by it's scent

I guess I wanted to see how it compared to my Zymol Carbon in the fridge

 

don't be ashamed... Ken is a confirmed Hydro sniffer.

 

yah, but unlike some of you newbs i don't get a high from the scent.
i get a high from the actual results.
