Anyone use Suds Lab Ceramic Spray as a spray on / hose off?

I use several spray on products including TEC 582 but have never used them as a spray on/rinse off. Reason I don't as I feel that would be the least effective method to apply the product and also would require larger quanities to be applied.

I had been applying these products as a drying aid by applying while vehicle is still wet and using a drying towel after applying, but I have even stopped that method as I feel spraying the product on a wet surface diluted the product..

Depending On wash method I'll either just use a drying towel or blow most of the water off with my EGO blower and after mop up with a drying towel then use a spray and wipe product such as TEC 582. May not be quicker but feel that is best way to apply such products.
 
The best and absolute cheapest spray-n-rinse sealant is the Armor All Extreme Shield Ceramic Car Wash. Its like 12 bucks at Walmart.

Use it UNDILUTED in a spray bottle or foam cannon.

Spray, let dwell 15-30 seconds (less time if in direct sun) and rinse off. Enjoy super beading short term protection.

Your welcome.
.
TIP: when applied, if you wipe it or agitate it on the surface before rinsing it gives a slight boost in beading capability.
 
Best spray and rinse I have used is TWHS flex wax. One of the ways it is to be used. Sadly TW is no longer producing it.
 
I understand and thats where Im at too kinda. But if you look up at least Tec582, you'll see people spraying it on and hosing it off and getting beading... Weird but works.

I have that based on your previous recommendation to me a while ago - it doesnt seem like it lasts or works well at all IMO. Maybe Im doing it wrong? Or not letting it sit long enough?

How long do you expect for it to last exactly? We are talking about a spray-n-rinse sealant so, there are limitations here and you may need to reset your expectations accordingly.

Even if it were to last 30 days in your environment, it is literally SO EASY to apply that the minimal effort is worth another reapplication when its dying or dead.

In fact, if you apply it at every wash (assuming you at least wash your car every two weeks) then it will last indefinitely.

In my video below, the water behavior is sort of flatish but its still repelling water a bit. It might have been 2-3 weeks since I had last applied it.

 
 
I tried this last May and it was garbage

Did absolutely nothing that I could see and I ended up pouring it out to recycle the bottle

I don't think they even sell it anymore

Despite having ready access to Suds Lab products at Walmart I have declined to try any more of their products with the exception being their foam tire dressing applicator; it is cheap and effective

Well TEC 582 would be less expensive. A gallon of 582 is currently $40.00 from Amazon. The same quality of Suds lab would be $52.00.
However if you want to be a Guinea Pig a gallon of Prime Solutions Ceramic spray is only $16.00 ( plus shipping I assume) from Tractor Supply.

I went this route. For 24$ shipped, label says you can hose it off or wipe. I'll report back!

I had it two different times and both times it turned green and separated. I dont know if the second was the new version or not, Id say it was but who knows.

The Armor All Extreme Shield Ceramic Wash aka DIY spray-n-rinse sealant is $32 for a gallon. This is the cheapest of ALL touchless sealants on the market period. I honestly don't see why anyone would pay more for doing the exact same thing.
 
If you are willing to do a wipe on and buff off initial layer and then follow up with a spray on and rinse off program on wheels or grills then Megs HCW is a very good option

It’s what I have been using for several years and I’m quite happy with it

The initial layer is straight HCW applied with a damp MF applicator, and then buffed off

The follow up spray and rinse is 3:1 distilled water and HCW

A little HCW goes a long way with this system

It’s great on any paint or trim and I have set other people up this way when they want cheap and relatively easy

I have not tried the Prime Solutions. I have a fair amount of TEC 582 and like the product. I dilute it 1:1 and do a wipe on buff off with it.
However MrOneEyedBoH has said he ordered it and I'm looking forward to his review.

The Prime Solutions is $16 for a gallon. So at half the price of the Extreme Shield maybe it's for you.

That appears to have been a short lived sale (or a mistake, lol) because the link you provided no longer works. It just redirects you to the Protectants page.
