CarPro Hydro2 Lite

Does anyone know or used Carpro Hydro Lite as a spray on wipe off instead of spraying off with water. The carpro website states that it can be a spray on wipe off but I can't find any verification of that.

I always buy HydrO2 and dilute to my favorite ratio. My understanding is that HydrO2 Lite is just ready to go out of the bottle. But if the Carpro website says it can be sprayed on and wiped off, what more verification would you need. That info is coming straight from the horse's mouth as they say. Just try it.
 
its not clear mentions it in the description but the instructions discuss hosing it off.
 
My guess is that no further instructions are needed for "spray on and wipe" off..... pretty self explanatory. The traditional way has more variables such as amount used and dwell time and overlapping, etc. If you have a bottle, try it.
 
I have not purchased it yet. What is you opinion of CarPro Hydro2 Lite vs Reload?
 
I have a bottle of Reload which I never really used, except once on my Harley fairing. It did well for me. I buy regular HydrO2 and dilute it 7:1 and use on wheels exclusively and sometimes on intricate front ends. I probably wouldn't consider the Lite version, since I could mix up my own version.
 
You can use Hydro2Lite just like Reload. Spray on and wipe off. It can get a little streaky if you use too much... just like Reload.

What is it you are trying to accomplish with either product? Are you dead set on only these products?

If you want a topper to extend the life of your coating then I'd use Elixir instead of either Hydro2 or Reload. Easier to use, better looks, more hydrophobic. Elixir does have both of the other 2 product's in its formula as well as Ech2o but it's just the right amount that it works well.

Bottom line is I want something easy wipe on wipe off. I don't care it I have to do it every 3 months but don't want to have to re-apply every wash or every few washes. I don't want to worry about high sports or swirl marks trying to take off difficult to remove sealant. This would be my primary protection. In Florida, the hot climate makes just about any protection not last as long as I want so I am ok with doing it more often.
 
Ease of use I think is Hydro2 but you’ll have to be careful to only do one panel at a time and rinse very well. This being the normal way of using it, spray on wet car and rinse. I have no idea how good/bad it is to apply as a spray and wipe off product.

Elixir is easy to use and would give you a few weeks of protection but not 3 months I don’t think.

Reload is very easy to mess up and get streaks, especially on a hot panel which washing outside in FL is pretty much a guarantee. I don’t recommend this one.

How does reload compare to black fire si02 in ease of use?

I have no experience with the Black Fire product. I actually have never used anything from BF. Nothing against them, just ended up with other products first.

I want something that isn’t hard to remove I want to avoid marring and swirls above protection.
 
Why not just get the new turtle wax spray coating. Reload is not that good in my experience. Doesn’t last long.
 
I have lite but only use spray on spray off and works well. If looking for spray on wipe off not a fan of Reload. Being from same chemistry house sure lite as a SOWO would be similar.

I haven’t really heard good or bad about TW spray coating or Meguiars new offerings.

In the standard Spray Sio2 sealants ($30ish a bottle)
My old Favorite and still a great product is shine supply clutch but it is being surpassed by Griots 3-1 ceramic wax. Goes on smooth. Beads well and beat forum favorite TWSNS in a side by side.

At $20 for a 22oz bottle it’s also an excellent value
