Layering over Hidr02 lite

[Filipepais]

For the future, just would like to know how to strip the hydrO2 from paint? Iron-x?

Can someone advise? How to remove Hydr02 without polish?

Easiest way is to lightly polish the area. Or just let nature and time take its course.

Thanks for the reply.
Now i feel more confortable to use the bathe+ with Hydr02.
EchO2 looks good but unfortunatly isnt available here.
i dont intend to go rinseless, just to use the QD as drying aid and add some extra gloss after washing it with shampoo.
If no one have feedback on the PB QD spray & gloss, i will first test it with Hidr02 on a door jamb.

Hi Filipepais, yes it is available in Portugal, since its launch, as most of the CarPro products although not in every size.

As Steve has already mentioned, the only way to be sure to remove all of it, is to lightly polish it off.

Car pro eraser won't be enough to do the job ?
I'm asking because I got hydro2 on my car and I'm going to put cquartzUK on

Eraser is strong enough to remove polishing oils but a coating can withstand harsher chemicals. It's best to play it safe and polish hydro off.

Would essence be enough to polish off the hydro ?

I would imagine so. I haven’t used essence in that manner.

5 weeks passed since i've applied Hydr02.
First 3 weeks i've washed the car every weekend: pre-wash with avalanche snow foam and then regular wash with sonax car wash shampoo.
Everything went well with good results and great beading.
This last two weeks i didn't washed the car due to lack of time and some construction works in my every day road to my job that left my car with a good layer of dust.
Today after a good wash with same products i was very surprised because i got ZERO beading after washing the car.
Can someone advise why this appened? Is the Hydr02 protection gone?
This two weeks were hot sunny days...

ps: Re-applied the Hydr02 with no problems

It could be a couple things. I am not sure if the surface was previously prepped and thus didn't bond peoperly. Meaning claying and/or polishing. The other thing that it could be is built up road grime that is masking the properties of it. A wash with Reset does a good job of restoring the behavior of a coating.

I should mention that a shampoo can play a part in masking the properties of a coating. Something that contains gloss enhancers or wax could do it.
