    Prima Hydro Max or Carpro Reload?

    Good day and greetings to fellow autogeeks, as per topic I am quite torn in between Prima Hydro Max and Carpro Reload.

    Now I know before any opinion can be poured in, I will need to put down what I am going to do with them mostly, and what I have used before this.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but generally I categorize them into following:

    Spray Wax - Opt Car Wax

    Sealant - Opti Seal, Hydro Max, Reload, DG Aquawax, Permanon

    QD - Opt Instant Detailer, UWW+ QD ratio


    I mostly use Opti-Seal as base, followed by OCW or Aquawax as topper for any non-coating applied cars in my household. While Seal + OCW combo lasted longer, I generally liked the feel of Aquawax. I also use either Aquawax or Permanon on wheels/rims (applied once every 2 washes)

    OID I generally use as a final wipe down for any cars (coated or non coated) as a boost of slickness/longevity to whatever LSP being laid down.

    Now I am looking between Hydro Max and Reload, both as a strong direct LSP (as I have read reviews on the forum, both can last very long), as well as a topper to Opti-Coat. I realized that Reload while easy it is not that "easy" as Hydro Max would go since Hydro Max goes on just like a QD while Reload you need sometime to make sure you buff off nicely.

    With either one in place, it is going to replace my Seal + OCW or DG Aquawax combo entirely, probably as well as my OID as a maintenance final wipe (Will be just using Aquawax to replace OID role).


    Appreciate any input and insight regarding to this matter. Please correct me if I am wrong on the classification of products. Opinions on Aquawax replacing OID is welcomed too (since OID is way cheaper).

    Thank you and have a nice day ahead.

    Hydro Max is such an awesome product. So easy to use, looks amazing, and has great durability. You won't be disappointed.

    Any recommended topper for Hydro Max? Or it isn't just not necessary?

    I am looking forward to use it over Opti Coat as topper too

    IMO not necessary to use a topper with Hydro, in fact it may change the look which is a darkening of the paint, at least on my white metallic Sienna.
