Good day and greetings to fellow autogeeks, as per topic I am quite torn in between Prima Hydro Max and Carpro Reload.

Now I know before any opinion can be poured in, I will need to put down what I am going to do with them mostly, and what I have used before this.

Correct me if I am wrong, but generally I categorize them into following:

Spray Wax - Opt Car Wax

Sealant - Opti Seal, Hydro Max, Reload, DG Aquawax, Permanon

QD - Opt Instant Detailer, UWW+ QD ratio


I mostly use Opti-Seal as base, followed by OCW or Aquawax as topper for any non-coating applied cars in my household. While Seal + OCW combo lasted longer, I generally liked the feel of Aquawax. I also use either Aquawax or Permanon on wheels/rims (applied once every 2 washes)

OID I generally use as a final wipe down for any cars (coated or non coated) as a boost of slickness/longevity to whatever LSP being laid down.

Now I am looking between Hydro Max and Reload, both as a strong direct LSP (as I have read reviews on the forum, both can last very long), as well as a topper to Opti-Coat. I realized that Reload while easy it is not that "easy" as Hydro Max would go since Hydro Max goes on just like a QD while Reload you need sometime to make sure you buff off nicely.

With either one in place, it is going to replace my Seal + OCW or DG Aquawax combo entirely, probably as well as my OID as a maintenance final wipe (Will be just using Aquawax to replace OID role).


Appreciate any input and insight regarding to this matter. Please correct me if I am wrong on the classification of products. Opinions on Aquawax replacing OID is welcomed too (since OID is way cheaper).

Thank you and have a nice day ahead.
 
Anyone with your kind input please? :(Feed back please
 
You will not be disappoint with any thing prima I would recommend hydro max hydro wax as u dry and prima quick detailer the slick.
I like to try new stuff but I always have something from the prima line in my cart..
 
Hydro Max is such an awesome product. So easy to use, looks amazing, and has great durability. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks for the input. Very much appreciated :dblthumb2:
 
IMO not necessary to use a topper with Hydro, in fact it may change the look which is a darkening of the paint, at least on my white metallic Sienna.

How is this different from Hydro02

Hydro2 close equivalent is Permanon (Spray, rinse, and dry)

Hydro Max, Reload, Opti-Seal is WOWA alike. Though Reload you need to take some time to buff it.
 
I would go with car pro hydro2. Longer lasting results. And even more longer lasting would be reload, takes a little more time, but you can do an entire car in 15mins. If its a weekend car, you can expect up to 6-12 months. If not 3-5 months.
 
I haven't used hydro max yet, but the stuff looks quite thick, kinda like a sealant but diluted a little more, to make it spray able lol.

Anyone use hydro max over coatings?

I am quite eager to know either, so far none input regarding this yet.

All we know is Hydro Max last long and slick on its own. I am planning to use it as topper over my coating too.
 
How much Hyrdo Max product is used on a mid-sized car?

The ease of use/application along with all the positive comments has caught my attention, but if I'd drain half a bottle for a mid size SUV it wouldn't be cost effective.

This seems like a great summer option for my family vehicles. I could hit them with Hydro Max in the Spring and again in Mid-Summer after a good washing. With it being a spray on product it seems to be no more time consuming than hitting a car with a spray wax booster or QD spray.

From what I have gathered and understand, although you spray and wipe like a QD, but just a small mist/spray is needed for a panel (like Opti Seal and Reload).

For me when I get on the product I would hold small triggers over an area for a fine mist and wipe.
