aha!

this thread is more exiting than the other one.

 

Count me in! I started off with the small bottle, you know, just to give it a try. Silly girl! My gallon of hydro, slick and mystique are all on their way.
It rocks!

 

That sounds like an awesome package!
Just recieved my gallon of HYDRO today I ran out yesterday and didn't sleep well last night. Tonight I will sleep like a baby (maybee I'll spray some on my pillow ).

If they sprayed the space shuttle with Hydro maybe they wouldn't need the ceramic tiles anymore. Heather should contact NASA!

 

welcome to the Gallon Club! (3 Prima gallons to get in)
i mentioned many times.... just get the gallon from the getgo when you
order Hydro!

yah, i was thinking wat would happen if all carwash places
started spraying Hydro at the end of the rinse. that's where i would be
selling if i was in the business. minimum order... 5 gallons.

 

I admit that I had 2 reasons for my confessional post...

1) when Kenchan says "just get the gallon from the getgo" he's right!

2) I wanted to join the Gallon Club

 

 

Newbie Alert! Newbie Alert!

Someone please tell me about Hydro! (sees crowd forming... decides to investigate)

 

Just read these posts. Even if you ignore Kenchan, who seems to pop up like a dog at a T-Bone whenever Hydro gets mentioned, you'll learn some great stuff. Bottom line: It's super easy to use and works great. The Mystique wash and Hydro "wax" are a great team.

 

+1 And add Clarity and a glass cleaning towel and your all set.

 

wats with these bunch of sophmoric newbs gassing about now?

 

Yes, I should contact NASA!

I'd love to see some kind of high-tech Hydro bottle for using in space. (Inspired by that ridiculous set up Coke sent up on the Space Shuttle)

 

Maybe something like this? Though it looks like it's full of Slick...

 

I took advantage of what was probably the last >65 degree day of the year and Hydroed my car for the first time. Wow, that was easy. Almost too easy. And Hydro smells great!

I think I was spraying on waaay too much at first. There was an obvious smeary layer left on the hood after I dried it (the first panel I tried). How much is too much/too little? After the hood debacle I tried to limit myself to two sprays or so per body panel. (This is an E36 BMW, not a MINI.) Does that sound about right?

And how badly is the ensuing rain shower going to wash off/interfere with the Hydro curing? I managed to snag some garage time right now, but it's going to be sitting outside in the parking lot at work all night. (That's right - rockin' the graveyard shift.)

 

1) Congrats on trying Hydro! I'm glad to hear you like it already.

2) Also glad to hear you're learning restraint with Hydro ... yes, your usage sounds good.

3) Rain won't interfere with Hydro's curing. The only thing that would interfere is a detergent (read: soap). So, you don't want to wash your car for 24 hours after using either Hydro or Epic. Rain is no problem though!

I'm glad to hear all of my excruciating effort Hydroing the car won't be for naught. The weather's about to take a cold/windy turn here so I don't think I'll be washing again w/in the 24 hour window.

 

I think I will be getting some hydro... especially when Heather answers my email

 

Whoa! Thanks for the reminder. I've had so much inbound that your most recent email slipped way down my Inbox to where I couldn't see it! I have to run out to a meeting now but I'll get back to you first thing in the AM.

-Heather

 

haha no prob. I figured that was the case!

 

I'm using Hydro on this !

 

Nice! I love using this stuff all over the place. We use it on my baby grand.

-Heather

 

Can you please include a picture of yourself ON the baby grand with my next order?

Oh, nevermind.

 

I got my first bottle of Hydro last week from DP. That with the towel assortment, I am looking forward to the rain stopping here in socal. What is the recommended way to apply. I was going to wash first then while the car was wet, spray on the hydro. How much should I spray? Should I use a towel and spread or wait for a bit then wipe off?

Thanks in advance!

 

Just a few spritzes per panel. Like for the door, I probably use 2 or 3 sprays.

Do a panel at a time (spray, then dry, then move on). You don't want to let it dry on the paint before you get it worked in.

But that's pretty much it. Wash, spray on a wet panel, dry the panel. Spray on next panel, dry....etc. You don't wait, you just spray and go for it!

And done forget to give each black A-pillar cover a spray - Hydro is a *great* coverup for the swirl marks that seem to spontaneously appear on those covers, no matter how careful you are washing the car.
