Properly sealed paint is supposed to look like this!! Water is supposed to bead
off paint showing that it's sealed, but if instead your paint actually looks like
this, that means you got no more sealant so I found a product that just might
work and I'm gonna review it !! Stay tuned !!
The product we're gonna review is by Carpro. It's called hydro2 - and it's
a wipe-less silica spray so what exactly is a wipe-less silica spray??
I believe it's kind of like a mini ceramic coat but, it's not a ceramic coat
and it does the same kind of things that a ceramic coat does, and the reason I use
the term ceramic coat is because it's got a lot of silica in it, and ceramic
coat has a lot of silica in it as well. So this one's pretty easy all you do is
you dilute it 1:6 ratio, so this makes 6 times as much so this is very very
concentrated when you buy it so you dilute it 1 to 6, you mix it in a little
squirt bottle squirt it all over your vehicle and within 30 seconds we just hose
it off and dry the vehicle, that's it!!! We don't do it in the sunlight so really
really easy it says here it's supposed to last up six months, found something
interesting so we're just going to talk about that and it is not cheap so when
we go to my investigational folder when I was researching the product, the only
thing is on the bottle itself it says it's good for up to six months but then
when you go to the manufacturers website it says one to two months??? So there's a
discrepancy there and the other thing is from a price point, it is expensive, but it does
go a long way, but it is expensive!! For only half a litre it is $60 USD so that
is not cheap, and then the other thing I found and I just wanted to highlight was
that it is really good for UV protection that's the one thing that this has so
very important so it's a minimum six to one ratio so here I don't know if you
guys can see it yeah that first line right there I'll draw an arrow that's a
hundred millilitres, and I'm just gonna put put some in there to the hundred mil mark
and then I'm just gonna fill it up to about half a litre so that's more
concentrated than one to six anyway and then we're gonna spray it off.
We can see no beading so let's take our spray. Now all we have to do with our
spray is we just do a quick spray with it now, watch this!!! and spray up here
doesn't take much really can you do this for the whole vehicle now all we do is
we rinse and you'll see a huge difference there you go look at that
and that's it to the paint.
so here you can see the roof I didn't even spray it if you look
closely there's still some of the light bubbles and what that's from is the side
I sprayed the side and just the overspray hitting it was able to make it
bead like this you really don't need much at all so it's it's great stuff
this is before and this is after and there's the after shot of the wheels and
you can see the water just beading off so that's great so let's do a little bit
of a science experiment. Let's take a vehicle that I never protect, just an
older vehicle here we go untreated hood we're just gonna spray it to show that
there's no beading whatsoever, get it all wet and everyone's gonna say
what's the big deal about all this beading??? Well beading just means that
your vehicle is actually protected so when you see beading you know your
vehicle is protected so we're just gonna put the rest of this spray on here and the
bottles almost empty so what I'll do is I'm just gonna dump the rest of the
bottle on the vehicle and then we'll hose it off so the one thing I really
like about this product, FYI - not getting paid to to do this video or anything like
this is just an unbiased review, is you really don't need much, you can apply to
everything wheels, undercarriage, rims, whatever, wipers, you you just put this
stuff on everything and it works so it's really really versatile, the other thing
is I use it every couple months on my truck and people think I wash my truck
but I don't it's actually, it's actually really clean I'm gonna throw up an arrow
here you've use the most important so here you can see UV destroyed the clear coat on
this vehicle now before someone says why isn't the hood like the fenders???
The hood was actually worse, and I repainted the hood last year so the hood
was worse, so anyway that's that!!! The other things about this product that are
really good is there's less wiping, you don't have to worry about cure time
nothing like that it'll actually protect your vehicle from bird crap from
chemical follow from all those types of things so that's awesome now here if you
look you can see how well it's beading so we know we're gonna probably get a
you know a couple months maybe a month or two on this hood now I probably
won't protect it again because it's just an older vehicle, it's more of a beater
so we really don't care too much but yeah anyway it was just
to show you because wth the colour contrast it's easy to see the beading with this colour so I
was just using this one for demonstration. So now let's head back to
my truck and do a little follow-up and let you know.
Okay so 3-month follow-up, so this was actually shot prior to this video I just had to edit it in now just
to explain it so when you look at the hood you can see the hood is not beading
at all, there's no more protection !! There you go there's nothing there but on the
fenders there's still some protection so my review of this you're going to get
about a month or two out on the hood, roof, and trunk, that's it I guess.
The sides of your vehicle, you're probably going to get 3 to 4
months from the sides of your vehicle so that's it.
hopefully you really enjoyed this video I tried to make it easy don't forget to
rinse out your bottle afterwards or you may lose it because the stuff will
harden up inside!!! I f you have any questions or concerns anything like that
let me know GarageKing over and out :)
