Video: Quickest way to wax a car!!!

[OrangeVee]

Hi guys!


This week, I present a revolutionary car detailing product from a reputable company: CarPro HydrO2. This is a nano-coating in a wipe-less spray on formula. It's super easy to use! Adding a layer of protection on your car's paint has never been this quick and easy!


You wash your car, and while it's still wet, you spray the product on the surface (it can be applied to any exterior surface) and you rince off using a pressure washer or powerful stream of water. That's it !!


It will give you 3 to 6 months of protection, leaves a nice shine and water beading and sheeting properties. It can be used as a stand-alone product on unprotected paint, or as a top off to your ceramic coated vehicle, as part of the maintenance of your coating.


This product is similar to Gyeon Quartz Wet Coat.


Enjoy the video!

An other nice video!

One question for you. You mention a 7:1 dilution in the video. My bottle of Hydro2 states 3:1

So where did you come out with the lower dilution ratio?

Nice video and review.

On the newer bottles, CarPro actually suggests a minimum of 6:1. After talking with CarPro directly, it was suggested that a good all around dilution ratio is 7:1. Some guys dilute it up to 10:1. You can try different dilution ratios and see what works best, as it varies according to temperature. The 6:1 is for a temperature of around 24 Celsius according to CarPro.

No my videos are not sponsored and I am not paid to do reviews. All comments are my own. I have been buying and testing products for decades. You'd be shocked to see how much money I spend on detailing products and tools every month! I am blessed to live a nice life in which I can just splurge on my passions, and so I share my findings with my viewers.

But I don't know what difference it makes that I answered now... Some people seem to be obssessed with wanting to know if a given Youtuber's videos are sponsored... As per Youtube regulations, if videos are sponsored and one gets paid for advertising, they are obliged to mention that in the video or in the description under the video. Plus, I for one don't really care if a Youtuber gets paid for a video or not, as I do my own research and testing independently afterwards. You watch other Youtube videos on the product, go reading on enthusiast car forums like this one, exchange with people during cars and coffee, etc. I work hard at building a solid reputation. All the products and tools I talk about are the ones I personally use. If it's crap, it won't make it on my channel. I keep things simple. You would also be shocked at the amount of wasted money coming from me just wanting to try a new product from a new brand and that goes straight to the garbage after the first use.

That being said, my channel has cost me a fortune in audio and video gear, computer and editing software and equipment, etc. I put a huge investment to share my passions, so hopefully, if companies are watching and/or reading this, they will one day offer to sponsor my videos as this will help grow my channel even more and who knows, allow me to hire an assistant or upgrade equipment, etc.

Good stuff Pan. Thanks for being part of this forum and sharing your videos.

Sponsored or paid... That's interesting, because to be honest those 2 options hadn't even come to mind. Or maybe my definition of those terms is totally different, but either ways, the possibility of your vids being sponsored [meaning a particular company reached out to you and offered you free product in exchange for a review] or you getting paid [you actually getting monetary compensation for making a video review] never ever came to mind... Nor am I "obsessed" with you or any other person on the internet.

What I did wonder was - If You yourself had reached out to certain product companies and sold yourself as someone with a large number of youtube subscribers and then asked them for free product in exchange for favorable reviews. [I don't think that's the same as being sponsored]

Reasons why I thought it might be possible?
You seem to give reviews [they actually seem more like label descriptions] about a whole product line, seemingly before having had extensive use with the products. i.e. your recent Carpro product line review. [along with the previous product line you made a video about, I can't think of the name at the moment] If it wasn't for the very video you posted about in your OP, it would seem as if you just tout a product without really even trying it out...

You seem to avoid the question. If what you just said is and has always been the case, then why shy away from the question at all? People are usually more that happy to boast about their passion/obsession/hobbies aka the truth without being repeatedly questioned before they finally tell their story... Your story should've been the coolest thing you shared from the moment I 1st asked.... Not something you felt I or anyone else was pressuring you to answer. My intention was never to put you under any pressure, nor am I "obsessed". I was simply curious.


P.S. If you're going to put yourself out there aka make vids and have thousands of people, which I'm sure you very much appreciate watch your vids... Then you better have thick enough skin to handle any scrutiny the same way you handle the praise. Or as they say "if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen"

Take it easy...

Great video but for me the product isn't on my shelf as I found it streaked badly on black and yes, I did prep and apply it correctly. The streaks were noticable on black when put in the sun after it was completely dry. Removing them wasn't difficult but did involve having to go over wiping and buffing the car with my ECH20/Reload combo, thus IMO it's just easier to simply apply Reload and garner simliar protection.

IMO:
This, and similar, products tend to
redline those that reside in areas
of the USA that are still bound by
restrictive water-usage ordinances.

Thank you. This makes the product much more attractive. At 3:1 dilution, I found it to be way too expensive to use. At 6-10:1 it might just change my mind. I still prefer to use Reload as a sealant, but Hydro2 might be back in the Arsenal when I am done with my current bottle. Will have to re-evaluate the cost per car.

No worries. Internet, particularly Youtube, is great for many things such as knowledge sharing and discovering new things, techniques, tricks, products, etc. But it can also be a space where internet trolls just come to stir negativity without constructive criticism, hidden behind a weird username and no profile picture. This is an unfortunate part one has to learn to deal with. So I'm always on my guard trying to understand people's true intentions behind a comment and the reason motivating such a comment. I'm all for a comment when it's a constructive criticism. But I'm against people just writing what ever comes to mind without giving a chance to get to know the individual. Some just come on random videos, they don't even like car detailing, and will say just horrible things. That's where I draw the line.

Now I'm not saying that is what you did, but I was trying to understand the reason behind such a question, and regardless if I answered or not, what benefit it would give you. You haven't answered that part. But in the end, we live in free countries and you're free to ask any question you judge is necessary.

Again, I have nothing against sponsored videos and I hope that my channel will one day have the opportunity to get sponsored videos as this will help it grow even quicker, by allowing me to reinvest in better gear and possibly an assistant. If that day happens, my viewers will be the first to know, as I will disclose this as per Youtube regulations. And like you say, I will be more than happy to share that moment.

On this note, let's get back to the joys of detailing. Thanks!

I know these products seem easy but I just can't see how it can go on evenly?

Upon watching other videos online before I tried it, I was wondering the same thing. A couple of spritz and that's it? How does it spread evenly? Upon trying it and reading up on the tech, I realized that it's the jet of water that spreads the product out evenly and the run off and dripping water from top to bottom (and the spray left to right) is enough to coat the entire panel. It's hard to explain, but when you actually see it work, it's clear. Where there was no beading before, now there's tons of beading and sheeting. Pretty amazing. Gyeon have their equivalent in the form of Wet Coat, and some other companies have some too. These are great for people who want a quick way to add a layer of protection, or just to top off an existing ceramic coating.

For Hydro2 I like to use the RTU version Hydro 2 lite. I find it does not streak, do not have to mess with dilutions and it can be used as a drying aid by spraying on and wiping off while the car is wet. I believe you can not do the latter with the concentrated version. I have seen around 3 months durability before the sheeting/ beading has started to die in some areas but now I just apply it monthly a lot of times anyway.

I also find it great for sealing wheels on my customers cars as its a super easy way to apply sealant to the wheels which literally takes a few seconds per wheel.
