Most liked posts in thread: Prima Announces Hydro Seal and Hydro Wash

I could see no noticeable residue at the edge of my clearbra. The stuff just hazes a tiny bit, and wipes right off. There's no real "substance" to it like there is with Epic or BG. It's not "powdery".

It really is like magic. I doubt I'll ever use Epic again. It took me 20 minutes to do two full coats. No mess, to taping, nada. Magic. I could do this every month if I had to. But it should last much longer than that.

 

Ordered mine yesterday from Autogeek, Detailers Domain doesn't show it on line yet.

 

I received my Hydro Seal and Hydro Wash yesterday and tested it out this morning. My wife asks me, "Aren't you supposed to be working?" My response: "No way - I have Hydro Seal to try out!" My first impressions:

1. Hydro Wash - red - cool color. The soap works fine. Quite a bit more sudsy than Mystique. Not much more to say about Hydro Wash - it's a car wash soap.

2. Hydro Seal: I followed the instructions and it was very easy to apply/wipe off. No worries about getting it onto the trim. I expected it to be like a lotion, but it is rather runny. I'm not sure I was using the proper amount but there was plenty to go around and it soaked into the damp rag nicely. I used plenty from the small bottle and ended up using only about 20 percent of the bottle on the Mini. It's probably good for 3 or 4 more applications. The only problem I had was that the bottle became slippery and fell out of my hand several times, leaking some of the Hydro Seal onto my driveway! I started closing the pop-up lid to avoid any more spills.

Now that I am done: shiny, great looking Horizon Blue mini with some very minor spider webbing on the black roof mostly concealed by the Hydro Seal. It looks fantastic! I'll see how it wears over the next couple of weeks. I've never used Epic or any other wax so I don't have any comparisons. Having said that, it looks great and much better than I expected. Before I started, my car was quite dirty with lots of bugs to remove during the wash. It took about an hour and a half to wash/remove bugs, dry the car, apply the Hydro Seal and then clean the windows Hydro the tires.

Overall, I love it. Next week I may apply some Banana Gloss over the top just to see how it looks, but I'm satisfied as it is. Now that I have moved beyond just Hydro, the differences are very noticeable.

 

Finally used Hydro Seal for the first time today. OMG, it's magic.

 

I am looking forward to trying the new system. I especially like the idea of not having to tape up the trim. Will Swirl cause trim to turn white? I do not see a listing for Amigo any longer. That stuff always makes my cars look great. Have you discontinued it?

 

How does Hydro Seal perform over a base coat of Epic?

 

Slow down! I haven't used up my Banana Gloss yet! :crazy:


:biggrin5:

 

I love the Banana Gloss!

I loves me my Prima Products!

 

Heather,

Sounds like another killer product

If I'm reading correctly that this would basically be the last step after doing paint correction with Swirl and Amigo and waxing with Epic and/or other Carnauba based waxes?

....interesting

 

On a side note- awesome that they now carry Prima!

 

I guess I always thought that Mystique was already optimized for polymer finishes. Can you expound a little on the differences between Mystique and Hydro Wash?

 

So this replaces wax?

And it can go on after Amigo?

 

Say goodbye to Banana Gloss!

last weekend, I cleaned up my Mini with Swirl, then applied the new Hydro Seal. Looks fantastic.
