Hydro2 Water Spot Removal

[JayClark79]

I have Hydro2 a try this weekend and I must not of rinsed long enough with the pressure washer because it left some serious waterspots/streaks on my windows (not really noticable on the paint)... I've tried glass cleaner, iv tried an APC....its taking some serious SERIOUS rubbing to get off.... anyone have a thought on what might remove the spots easier?

CarPro spotless? Polish?

Were you working in the sun/on warm panels?

Did you dilute properly at 4 parts water to 1 part concentrate?

Did you work in small areas and rinse each panel and adjacent panels immediately after spraying?


HydrO2 is very easy to work with when used properly, but unfortunately if you do get streaks, they are a big pain to remove. It is almost easiest just to wait for them to go away. If it is just on your glass, I would go ahead and try to polish them off.

I did all that but I diluted 3 parts water to 1 part hydro2... was pretty sure that's what the bottle said but now I'm seeing 4:1 everywhere lol :/

The sun was out but it was rather cold, I definitely didn't let anything dry... as i worked around the panels I kept going back and resoaking all the panels so nothing dried until I was finished.

It changed from 3:1 to 4:1 recently.

It was determined that 4:1 was even more user friendly and still produced greatly durability, so CarPro changed the instructions.

If you were in the sun, chances are that was the issue... regardless of if you kept wetting the area, that always seems to be the issue. You must be in complete shade.

How recent is recent?

Just picked this up from AG. Older batch?

AGO and other larger retailers typically take a while to get updated stock... hence the June production date on your bottle.

This change was made in the last month or two as far as I know.

You must be in complete shade.

Agreed.

I wonder if hydro2 lite is mixed 1:4

I will find out today and report back.

Lite is more like 10:1 which is why you can use it dry like a spray sealant

Direct from CarPro, it's about 6:1, but it's not apples to apples as it has other stuff in it.
