I'm hoping those experienced with Prima Hydro Max would be able to answer a few questions about the product and experience with it's behavior. There isn't much detail about it searching around the web. Any help to get these questions answered is appreciated!
1. Does it require the surface to be LSP free and residue free to bond well?
It mentioned using non-polymer wash like hydro wash. If it's that sensitive to the wash having polymers, it may be sensitive to anything else on the surface. All my waterless or rinseless washes have polymers so I wonder if that compromises it already. I was thinking maybe of using WGPPE first to remove the previous LSP and clean the paint, but even that leaves fillers, so I wonder if durability will be compromised. Ideally I'd waterless wash a car and then apply this immediately after but it seems that is against recommendations.
2. Can it be layered? If yes, how long of a wait in between layers?
3. Is there a curing time before it can get wet for maximum durability?
4. It mentions "contains mineral spirits", what implication does that have?
5. Does it contain UV inhibitors?
6. Does it work well on plastics? (headlights, tailights, smooth trim plastics) Same durability and prevent headlight yellowing?
7. Does it work well on the windshield to make water run off when driving? Is it durable there and does it cause wiper chatter or streaking glass?
8. Does it work well on wheels? Does it have the heat resistance and durability to be used there successfully?
9. Is there a temperature/humidity range it should be applied for best results?
10. Can it be applied successfully on hot paint in full sun? (successful = no streaks, maintains full looks and durability)
11. Just how long is it claimed to last?
12. Is it considered more or less durable than Epic and Hydro Seal?
13. How long/short have you seen it last on your cars?
14. What is the shelf life of the product in the bottle?
16. Does it remove underlying LSP upon application or does it sit on top of it?
17. Is it good for topping a "coating" like OC? Does it have similar hydrophobic properties or will it be worse compared to coating itself?
Those who have answers to these questions, even if only a partial set, please help out. It would be nice to have this be one thread that had all these kinds of questions answered for this product so anyone could look it up.
Thanks!
