  • No, always use on a wet surface immediately after rinsing off your wash soap.

  • No, just rinse it off right after spraying. Use a microfiber towel only if you want to speed up drying or boost the shine.

  • The hydrophobic coating typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how often the vehicle is exposed to the elements.

  • Yes, it is safe, but it's always good to spot-test before full application.

  • It is designed for best results with The Captain’s Musket or Big Loads Foam Cannon. Manual spray bottles may not provide even coverage.

There are a lot of conditions that must be met to use this drying product. The car needs to have just been washed, can't be too hot, use in the shade, and must be rinsed off immediately. It needs to be applied with a power washer, soap canon, or the manufacturer's specific product. Think of it as the top tier option at the automatic car wash where they offer the final step of a rinse just before the blow drier.That said, I am eager to try this product (once we get a dry day) and see how well it works. I have an old vehicle that I wash about once a year that is the perfect candidate to try on. All of my other cars are treated with ceramic or graphene coatings and may not provide good test results. I will update this review when I have results.

This stuff is great, very easy to apply if you have some form of foam cannon. Whether that be on a pressure washer or one of those that go on a garden hose. I used this on an older vehicle that hasn't been properly maintained. There is no wax on the vehicle, the water just sits on the paint. After a wash with soap I rinsed it off and used this in my foam canon. Even though the directions say to spray in sections, I was in complete shade and it was cooler so I sprayed the entire car down. After the complete rinse I was really super to see the water starting to bead up in places where it didn't do that before. If you can do that on a vehicle that has no protection I can only imagine what it would do on a properly maintained paint job.

This is an important post wash step to take, helps prevent some water spots I get on my windshield and car, which I have to park outside many times. It provides a protective coating. It's easy to put on you just use a foam cannon which I happen to have can you spray down the car with the special rinse mixed in and then rinse it off after a minutes. It appears to be a quality mix-in protectant that seems like a good value and works very well

This seems to work well. I used it on my car and my side by side. It foamed well in my foam cannon and was easy to rinse off. I couldn't tell if it gave my car more shine or not since it has a ceramic coating. It did bead off the car and side by side though. It doesn't smell horrible or anything but it doesn't smell great either. It's very liquid so its easy to mix. Seems like a good value and it does it's job.

Used this after a wash on a car with ceramic coating already applied, and it definitely helped the water bead and left a clean, glossy finish. Hard to separate the effect from the coating already on the car, but this did seem to boost the results. Application was simple—just foamed it on and rinsed off. Will be more useful during salt season, but even now it gave a nice finish. Good for anyone looking to add a quick hydrophobic layer after washing.

Unfortunately this arrived after the salt was off the road. Nonetheless this is a great idea. It foams up nice just like other high quality soaps I've used. I can't wait to try it again during winter. It did shine up nice and help water bead up. I do have ceramic coating on my car so it's a little hard to tell if it's the soap or the ceramic. I'd say it's a little of both. I would recommend this to anyone who lives in a state where they salt the roads.
