    Is CarPro Hydro2Foam as great as it looks?

    Doesn't look like it could be any easier than this video below. However, I did a search and really didn't find much on it here at Autogeek forums.

    It really is a great product. Legit protection, good lubricity, decent cleaning power. But Do NOT let it dry. Work in small sections or work quickly.

    Great for hard to reach places, such as honey comb grilles and wheels.

    If you washed your car first with another shampoo and got it clean could you just foam it on and rinse it off or do you have to rub it in?

    Never washed with shampoo first because most shampoos have glossing agents or polymers. I guess you could foam, let it dwell for a few minutes and then rinse without washing since it's already been washed.

    I would think Hydro2o would be a better option for you. Wash, rinse, spray on Hydro and power wash off.
    Quickest way to protect your paint that I know of.

    Lots of streaks. Same as with Hydro2 if it dries. Especially on glass. If you’re wanting to use it for its protection, then yes you can wash first then foam it down and then rinse off. I’d suggest something like Reset if you’re planning on washing first.

    I totally agree. I use both Hydro2 as well as Hydrofoam. I prefer Hydro2 because I use a dedicated car soap with no gloss agent and polymer to wash. I follow up with Hydro2 while its still wet. Hydro2 is in a concentrate and I generally use a slightly higher dilution to minimize streaking (especially with dark color paint). It seems to work better with a power washer than just a hose.

    What do you use to spray on the Hydro2?
