Hey Guys,
Finally had the time to use Hydro2Foam. I was one of the winners of the giveaway, thanks Corey.
I would recommend turning down your sound or turning it off. Sorry my video editing skills don't exist, my pressure washer is pretty loud.
Items used:
CarPro Hydro2Foam 500ml - http://www.carpro-us.com/new-products/carpro-hydrofoam-500ml/
MicroFiber Madness Incredipad - http://www.carpro-us.com/microfiber-madness/microfiber-madness-incredipad/
MicroFiber Madness Dry Me Crazy - http://www.carpro-us.com/microfiber-madness/microfiber-madness-dry-me-crazy-25-x-17/
As per CarPro direction, product was diluted 1:9 (3.2oz to 28.8oz) in 32oz bottle.
First vehicle was a 2007 Acura TL Type S, car is sealed with CQUK (8 month old), car is washed twice a month and Reload is applied every 4th wash (currently 3 weeks old).
As instructed car was first power washed off, you can see the beading and sheeting of the water:
Here's my first attempt at using Hydro2Foam, after trying few different settings on the foam cannon it has to be fully closed. Just follow instructions so you don't waste any product. As you can see in the video Reload sure is doing it's job.
After foaming the whole car i started the wash process, 1 bucket with 2 grit guards. I felt a bit rushed as I didn't want any of the soap to dry (note to self DON'T FOAM THE WHOLE CAR). By the time I was done with roof and windows most of the foam had come off.
I finished washing the car and rinsed it off but didn't notice any difference in beading nor sheeting of water.
Next up was our DD, Nissan Altima (this is my test vehicle, currently car has DP Max Wax (3 weeks old).
Same process was used as Acura.
As you can see not much protection was left on the car.
This time I had the right setting on the foam cannon and foam was staying on the car. I do have to say that I wish it was thicker as it still runs off pretty quickly.
After the wash here's the result.
After drying the car here're few pictures. Unfortunately it was late and I didn't get a chance to take any sun pics but I'll get them tomorrow.
Here's a quick video of Hydro2Foam doing it's job.
Overall I have to say that I'm impressed. This product does exactly what the manufacturer claims. It's an AIO soap.
Pros:
Cost effective (I used ~8oz of diluted solution on both of my cars)
Reduces time for wash, wax and dry.
Multi surface protection (windows and paint)
Cons:
Must have pressure washer
Lubrication (this is more of a concern)
I will keep testing this product on few other vehicles and will report back with few more vids.
Thank you for reading.
