Most economical SiO2 coating spray?
Wondering what the cheapest is out there. Looking to MAYBE use it as a topper on McKees 37 coating, but most definitely on the wheels primarily.

My guess would be McKees HydroBlue?

Re: Most economical SiO2 coating spray?
Actually, the most economical appears to be the gallon size of Gyeon Wet Coat. Elsewhere you can buy 5L of HydrLite for the absolute cheapest per mL.
I strongly believe they all last the same, so if you want to buy I bulk from AG, the 4L Wet Coat is a great deal.

Re: Most economical SiO2 coating spray?
I have been using HydroFoam. I bought a liter on sale for about $27. I mix it 1:9 (3.2oz per 1 quart spray bottle). I use it mainly to wash the Opti-Coated wheels on my own cars. I have also washed a couple of cars using this HydroFoam spray formula.
So I should get 10 quart size bottles from it. All the Carpro SiO2 sprays are claiming 3 months durability so I don't think I am sacrificing anything, but I felt that Hydro2 had better beading. And it is a bit different since it is intended as a soap so there will be some wiping involved. This works out great for wheel maintenance cleaning.
I don't think any of the others can claim 10 quarts from a single 1 liter bottle at $27-32.

Pick up a gallon of Hydro Blue. Autogeek is running a 20% off plus $6.95 sale over the weekend.
Regular Price: $79.99
20% Off Discount: $63.99
With $6.95 Shipping: $70.94
That's a steal.
What are you waiting for?

Re: Most economical SiO2 coating spray?
That's a great deal. Nick, once opened, what kind of shelf life can we expect (roughly) as long as we're keeping the gallon in a stable temp range (80-90 deg)?

Most economical would be to let the McKee's coating work without a topper, then reapply after if breaks down.

Re: Most economical SiO2 coating spray?
But my theory would be, if there is something on top of the coating then that topper would be sacrificial. Thus leading to a longer coating life span, no?

Is there any proof of that? There is a reason why you put the longest lasting lsp on the bottom. If not, then you could put a wax on first and a sealant on top and the sealant would make the wax last longer than the sealant, but it doesn't work that way.
By using your theory, you could do the same with wax. Put on paste wax and continually top with a spray wax every other week. You could theoretically make a coat of wax "last" infinately that way. My question would be, does the paste wax layer last longer, or is it's breaking dow hidden by the continual topping of spray wax?
