Cirer ka voiture en 20 minutes merveilleux

I'm giving this stuff a fairly premature review here. Mostly because HydroSilex did me a HUGE favor, and sent me a 16oz bottle. This was because Amazon did not heed the company's cease and desist regarding third-party sellers in the marketplace, and as a result I was sent 2 16oz bottles of completely defective product. I was frustrated, I was livid; all I wanted was to try this product out and not have to pay for shipping. Luckily, HydroSilex has awesome staff, and they heard my pleas. When Amazon wouldn't correct their mistake, HydroSilex jumped on it and sent me a bottle. They could tell how badly I wanted to try this.At long last, my shiny 16oz bottle arrived a few weeks ago, and I got to work. First, I needed to do a lot of paint correction. I am the 2nd owner of my 2015 GTI, and whoever has the car before me neglected the paint badly. Swirls, scratches, you name it. After literally 12 hours of washing, clay bar, wax strip, and compounding, I was able to say I was satisfied enough with my paint's surface to apply my Recharge.It goes without saying at this point: there is only one viable method to apply. That is the dry method. I wouldn't even bother trying this with the wet method, though I imagine you could perceivably do it and with less product overall, be albeit with more haze.Applying is easy, you've all seen the videos. It's easier than using spray wax. Where I've seen a lot of people go wrong is applying to too large of an area, and then wiping dry. It specifically says on the bottle not to do that. I followed the instructions to the letter, and got great results.I applied the first coat, allowed my car to sit and cure overnight, so at least 10 to 12 hours went by before it was driven. I applied the second coat a week later, after a quick waterless wash. The results have been amazing.A few things I want to clarify, because I was curious about them before I bought it, and didn't really see many answers: first, this will not keep your car clean. It will repel dirt in that it more easily flies off with wind vs sticking to the paint, but your car will still get dirt, dust, and debris on the paint. Second, the hydrophobic properties are pretty much unparalleled as far as Si02 sprays are concerned, so doing "water tests" is a waste of time; it's going to bead of you applied it correctly to untainted paint. Third, you still have to wash your car. This coating will minimize the appearance of dirt and debris, but it didn't eliminate it, so accept that you still need to regularly wash. Fourth, their silica soap is NOT ideal for foam gun use. It probably does well or at least OK in a foam cannon, but not a foam gun. It simply doesn't produce enough suds.As for longevity, I really can't say yet. It's been several weeks (3-5) since I applied the first coat, and shave a week off of that timeline for the second coat. In that time, my car has been washed 3-5 times. I see no noticable reduction in clarity and the shine, nor can I yet speak to how long before I'll need another coat. If I end up having to apply a coat every 2 to 3 months, I'll still be satisfied.One last thing: if you're going to get even, thorough coverage, you will use more than what others say. I used 1/4ish of the bottle per coating, trying to use as little as possible, while still ensuring all surface areas received the same amount of product. Still, worth the investment, and I have zero regrets. Fantastic product.

My wife is a writer. Her first book generated a lot of interest in the teaching community. She got royalties. With those royalties, she bought a 1998 Blue Honda Civic Hatchback - it was built for teachers. Unfortunately the clearcoat was going before she knew me and husband #1 was disinterested in manual labor. A few years later he is gone and the car is rusting. We has the rusting fixed and painted, it looked great, but it did not last more than a few years. We took to a local place in San Diego, they did a spectacular job for $800. About five years later I noticed the haziness of clear coat degrading. I tried a Malco polish of the medium sort and it leveled the paint, but it was hardly shining or glossy. I put a Chemical Guys wax-ceramic on it and it looked a lot better. 4-5 months later it was back to baseline. Now I tried Rejuvenate by Malco as a deeper polish and it leveled the paint to one color, before it was leopard spotting. Everywhere else on the car was now level and glossy but not the roof - it stayed dull. I tried some waxes and ceramic but nothing brought the shine back even after 2-3 coats. I thought this was impossible, was I going to have to spray and clear coat the roof? I had tried one other hydrophobic solution and not the cheap kind, but it did nothing. My arms and the buffer were ready to fall off and die. Looking for something, I actually forgot I bought this product and pulled it out to give it a try. I don't know how or why but I sprayed on Hydrosilex and it "wet" the surface with a small sheet cloth - it really spreads very easily and is completely clear and wiped it off with two sequential micro towels. It says you can wipe it off immediately if you want but I let it set for a minute. For the first time in a few years, Donna's car had an even colored very shiny car and roof. Applying and toweling off the surface is as easy as water. At this point I don't know how long it will last, but I will be back later with that. If you cannot get the look you would want from other products stop the frustration and try this. It was very good also with the black vinyl, but we will see how long that lasts. I think for now to stick with the Cerokote towelettes which are remarkable, but this was close. Lastly, I know this product is expensive, and there are many products especially of this type that are garbage. You really use so little of the product and the spray bottle is quality - it delivers a mist and use a thin micro cloth, not a towel, and make deliberate crosshatching to make sure everything is covered. It even removed residual polish from the vinyl ald left them black. A bottle will do two cars, maybe more. I have two cars to go and I think Hydrosilex really came through for me when nothing else was working. I don't know why his worked when others did nearly nothing. Don L.

I won't show you how slick my paint is because the true value of this product is in effort of application.PROS:- Easy application - if you're the usual once a year wax guy, and you want a shine but hate numerous hours of effort. This is for you. Not ready to commit to thousands to have someone ceramic coat your car? Home DIY'er? This is for you. Want to try something different other than wax? This is for you. This product reminds me of Fukkenwax (yes its a brand) but lasts alittle longer and much much easier to apply (literally spray on - don't over spray - wipe off)CONS:If you're wanting that water sheeting action and 'spray vs scrub the bug guts off the car' person that still lasts years after which only proper ceramic coating offers? This is NOT for you. It might not even last more than 2 months but hey if you're driving your DD in the Pacific Northwest (rain, rain rain) like me, then no wax I've ever applied will last either.IMHO this product is good as a wax alternative where you value easy application without tools. If this is you, this is an awesome product.

Great product lasts! Car looks great and getting compliments. Like any other sprays cover your windows before spraying.
