Thanks, Jeremy.

I think it's only natural that the guy who coined the term "Hydrojaculation" actually experience one, right ?

wheew, just got done QD'ing (slick) my G's wheels and Hydro-ing them.
looks and feels fantastic.

on this car though i use Griot's SprayOn wax every week on the paint. it
reinforces the Best of Show (carnauba) on there. nice slippery
protectant. basically a dry app after QD. compared to Hydro, SprayOn
wax requires to be worked in and dry buffed afterwards. and it doesn't
last more than one wash (or usually only up to 2 QD apps).

when you think about this you appreciate Hydro so much more cause
it's so much easier to use and so durable.

Heh, hydrojaculation, that term still makes me laugh and cringe at the same time

I am definitely in. After Heather showed it to me at the Dragon, I bought myself a bottle. Washed Wallace today, and used it as I dried, and BAM! Stuff works great!

Welcome, welcome. Please have some cheese and grab yourself a refreshment.

I was thinking about bumping this thread for about a week now, just never got around to it.

I used Hydro for the first time yesterday (on top of two coats of Epic) before heading up to my mini dealership and body shop. Three employees who see minis everyday, mentioned right away how great the car looked. Of course on the way home it started to rain...do they make a weather-changing spray?

yes, you just need to keep ordering more Hydro by the gallons to DP.
if it still rains, you just need to keep buying more and more.

Side Effects May Include:
  • Depression in barometric pressure
  • Temperature drop
  • Wallet/Bank Account deflation
  • Dependency to Hydro
Com'on Ken! You can't forget to put in the side effects of that situation. Especially the ones in bold.

Hydro stinks. I bought it. It didn't do anything. Turns out I have to put it on the car, just like all the other crap. I may try that one of these days.

More like watching a work-out tape and expecting to lose weight. I didn't mean I had to put it on a certain way; I meant I had to put it on at all.
