If you're looking for slick, quick and easy I suggest Merlin's Majic Elixer. Even a small bottle of
Reload will last a long time with the elixer mixture.
I use 50ml/2oz- Reload and 50ml/2oz- ECH2o then fill the rest of the
CarPro 500ml Empty Spray Bottle with distilled water.
I like the fact that both products are water-based and play well with each other. I also like the fact they are concentrated. I hate paying to ship water.
Now if you want extra slick and hydrophobic. I've heard of folks doing 1 part 50ml/2oz- ECH2o and 2 parts 100ml/4oz- Reload and then fill the bottle with water.
This offers even greater slickness and hydrophobicity and it's still easy to wipe on/wipe off with no streaking. Bang for the buck this is an excellent mixture!
I'm a big fan of using Merlin's Majic Elixer on a freshly coated vehicle (after 48 hour cure time) because inevitably the client will "feel" the paint for slickness.
Here is another tweak to the elixir formula:
"Tweaked the Elixir slightly different, for better water beading effect. Ech20 100ml, reload 200ml, distilled water 500ml."
