    Hydro Blue Sio2 Coating question

    I just recently got some of the Hydro Blue and I used it on my wheels. Man does the water bead up quickly after just a spray and wash!!!!

    So while I was freshly claying and waxing my truck last week it got me thinking. on my next wash can I just spray the Hydro Blue on each panel as directed, and add ore protection on top of the Ultimate wax I just put on. Is this possible or am I just wasting product?

    Thanks in advance

    From my understanding, Hydro Blue has to be applied to a bare surface to ensure proper bonding

    Hydro Blue can be used in many ways...

    1. Stand alone LSP
    2. Maintenance product for a coated surface
    3. Maintenance product for a sealed surface
    4. Maintenance product for a waxed surface

    If you use it for application 4, wait a few weeks AFTER waxing before applying Hydro Blue. Most waxes contain oils (natural, not 10W30 )and other "stuff" that "wets" the finish. These natural oils can promote streaking with Hydro Blue (and any other spray wax, for that matter). The reason I recommend to wait a few weeks is because the oils wear off pretty quickly.

    Sometimes less is more.

    So am I correct in saying Hydro Blue should be applied to a bare surface or a surface lacking an detailing oils as in step 4

    Thanks for this info. I think that is what I was looking for

    I did see that video. It is what convinced me to buy it for my wheels.

    I started with a clean surface. I used Iron-x to do this. Stuff is amazing. Still beading like crazy weeks after application.

    I happened to use the same photo as Joe for the video he uploaded (coincidence!). Credit goes to Joe for that photo (he's a great photographer!)

    Here's Joe's video....

    Re: Hydro Blue Sio2 Coating question

    Sorry, but I have my doubts about the durability of any silica spray applied to a wax. I'm not sure how the organic base and inorganic silica interact.

    In the company's testing, how long does Hydro Blue last when applied to a waxed (or sealed - not coated) paint surface?
