CarPro Hydro2 vs Hydro2 Lite - cost difference
Hi,
I'm curious about the cost of these two products.
Based on my calculations, the already-diluted and ready-to-use Hydro2 Lite is LESS expensive per ounce than the concentrated, Hydro2. This seems opposite of what I would normally expect.
Here's an example:
Hydro2 - 500ml - $70 per bottle. At 3:1 dilution, per the instructions, the cost is ~$1.04 per ounce
Hydro2 - 1 liter - $120 per bottle. At 3:1, the cost is ~$0.89 per ounce.
Hydro2 Lite - 1 liter - $25 per bottle. This is ready-to-use at a cost of $0.74 per ounce.
Why is the ready-to-use LESS expensive?
Is there any advantage to getting the more expensive Hydro2 vs Hydro2 Lite?
Thanks!

It will really come down to how far each product actually goes and how they perform.

H2L is less concentrated chemical compared to HydrO2 at 3:1 mixture. This is why H2L can be spray on, wiped off while HydrO2 at 3:1 can only be applied wet and rinsed off instead of spray on, wipe off.
You'll also notice H2L states ~3 months of durability while HydrO2 states up to 6 months of durability.

Yeah I think H2L is closer to H2 at 5:1 or 6:1. I have heard of guys using H2 at those dilutions as a spray and wipe.

Get the "old school" HydrO2.

All bottle of hydro2 I've gone through state "durable up to 3 months". Has the formula been changed recently?

So I went with Hydro2. This stuff is so easy to use!! I coated the wheels on a new Focus ST. So far, I'm very impressed. Now we will see what the longevity/durability is like.
