I decided to try this product. I've been using Hydrosilex for a few years now with very good results. However, for half the price it seemed like a good alternative. I watched several YouTube videos with results and different uses. I decided to do it a little differently than the instructions after seeing some results from YouTubers. Several YouTubers have opted for the dry application method for their first application. And that seemed to give the best hydrophobic results. I took a damp microfiber wax sponge and applied a small amount of product to the paint. It's very thick, so you'll need to spray about 12 inches away or you'll be applying too much product in one spot. The sponge evenly rubbed the product with small spots of color. Polished to a high gloss with a clean microfiber cloth. It required a bit of elbow greasing, but the results certainly justify it. I avoided applying to glass, areas where I sprayed too much, quite a lot of streaks and it was very difficult to remove. The pearls are intense. Water drips from the car. And as soon as you start driving, the car is almost dry. This helps keep it clean as dirt hardly sticks to it. If it has a little layer of dust on it and it rains, it washes it off. I also covered the rims, although the Tesla has no problem with brake dust, the wheels stay nice and clean. I will update the shelf life information, it's too early to tell. In terms of pre-painting, the car is relatively new, so I didn't have to work hard. First I painted the car. Then I used a light polish to remove the small swirls (there were almost none), I used Sudz Illuminate. This is what I use on my old machine. Then I applied a layer of synthetic wax, also Sudz, I forgot the name. Finished with hybrid wax. It should be noted that the paint was much smoother when using only Sudz wax. But like Hydrosilex, the color appears smoother before application and only with wax. Shine, well that's subjective, but I'm happy with the results. Even as a white car, paint is a mirror. My other car is a blue jewel. This will be the litmus test for shine. I will add a review once I make this car. I think the Hydrosilex had a little more shine but unless I could compare them side by side it's hard to tell. In use compared to Hydrosilex. Well, Hydrosilex is MUCH easier to use. It's basically spray and dry to a shine with a microfiber towel. And you can apply anywhere, paintwork, chrome, plastic, glass, rubber. In terms of hydrophobic properties, they are very similar, I don't see any difference. I can't say anything about durability. Hydrosilex usually lasted about 3 months. Now I didn't apply wet as instructed. Overall it's a good product, depending on how long it lasts compared to Hydrosilex, might buy again.
