Anyone used this yet ? presume it's just like hydo 2 or wet coat ?
Opinions please ?
 
Yep, I use it quite often.
Spray onto a panel and pressure wash it off. You barely need to use any product either.
It's still going strong on one car it was applied to 3 months ago.

No water spots or streaks then read some reviews about this presume bad application thou ?
 
Nope, no bad residues, streaks or spots :)

The bad reviews have come from user error - I've seen the same with the CarPro and Bouncer's versions too.
The slightest mist over a panel and pressure wash straight off is all you need to do.
There's no need to soak the whole panel as the product will activate as it rolls down during the rinse.

Added a photo sent over - 3 months in - the car is dirty so the beads aren't nice and round, but they go back to normal after a quick wash

Thanks much appreciated .
Will give it a try :up:
 
Hydrophobic layer on the car, rejects water and therefore you dont get as much dirt/dust and watermarks on it. It's not as good as the gtechnic crystal coat or any proper ceramic coating but it's not a bad job.
 
Ah cool,may get myself a bottle and give it a whirl.
Any other brands that do the same thing off the shelf? & not the proper job like you say with ceramic coating
 
The new Autoglym Polar range of this stuff is supposed to be pretty great for the price. I haven't rated anything by Autoglym in agood few years but I'll be trying it out.

Gyeon Wetcoat
CarPro Hydro2

It’s not a LSP replacement per se, but it’s a brilliant top up product, especially in the winter.

EZ Car Care - Fusion.

Been using it recently as they've set up shop about 2 minutes from my house and work so it's perfect for me as I can pop in and grab my detailing supplies there.
 
How does it work tho,as after it says you dry the car like normal?, surely this removes it and also can you use a QD on top of this?

At the mo i will go with Aqua Wet as only £14 for 1L where as the others are looking at £25-45?
 
I’ve gone right off using Hydro2 lite

I’ve found a couple of times it’s left blemishes all over cars especially dark coloured paint.

I’ve gone back to using Carpro Reload. More time consuming applying it but imo it lasts longer.

I’ve run out of C2v3 but will be getting some more as that’s even better than Reload.

Anyone used auto finnesse lavish yet? Like a ceramic snow foam!?

Used AF Lavish last weekend and seemed to give good results. However, car was only a week old, had been coated by Audi and also used the Turtle Wax ceramic wash so not surprising. Water beading and running off really well when it rained but it didn't give a particularly deep or glossy finish that you get with the spray on ceramic products. Very quick and easy to use so I will probably use most washes with the spray on buff off stuff for every three or so washes.
 
Used it loads and i cant fault it. For something that is just sprayed on and rinsed off you cant go wrong. I use it on lots of customers cars and they all comment on the water beading and the way its easier to clean afterwards. It doesnt add much gloss compared to traditional wax finishes. Its perfect for winter i found where its too cold to spend all day waxing or ceramic coating
 
I use the Autosmart version in work, great tbf. Very cheap too. Think I paid like £12 for 5 litres.
