Hydrofoam is the only protection I have on my car. My car got nailed by a sprinkler and the water spots baked in the 90+ degree heat for a full day. Water spots were bad! Didn't have time to wash my car for 2 days, but after I did, no water spots! Now THAT's impressive!!!
 
It's amazing. Slickest soap I've ever used. Leaves legitimate protection behind. Best soap I've ever used!
 
not surprising, carpro products are top notch! :xyxthumbs:

That is impressive. What made you use Hydrofoam as your LSP?
 
I think you can get up to 3 months of legit protection. That's impressive for what it is.
 
Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like a great product.

I'm very impatient when it comes to applying LSP's. This is a quick one and temporarily coats the car. Not nearly as long as a traditional coating, but it's easy enough to reapply after a few months.

I think I'm going to try this on a friends car. Just to see how long the protection lasts with zero maintenance.

I was thinking of foaming it down, let it dwell for a few then two bucket the vehicle all with hydrofoam.

I would imagine you still dry the car completely?

HydroFoam needs to be rinsed quickly(like hydro2). Do *not* use HydroFoam in the sun. I use the product a lil differently. I don't use it to clean. I wash with a pure soap(two buckets), pressure rinse, quickly foam the car with HydroFoam, then quickly pressure rinse. All done in the shade.

Shade won't be an issue. I will try your method that shouldn't be a problem. I know CarPro suggests a pressure washer. I was just reading their application guide. I'm going to buy a bottle on my next order to mess around and test with!
 
I just got this in the mail. Going to use it to help maintain my Cquartz UK I just applied.
 
I took advantage of this weekends sale and placed a small order on the sister site... I was strongly considering giving this a try for the 1st time after reading this thread, but the strict warning to not use this wash in any kind of sunlight was a dealbreaker for me. That's just unrealistic when maintaining customers vehicles in the real world... And since I wouldn't need to use it on my own vehicles I went with another bottle of Reset which I actually need more of for myself.

I think I may have a bit of the same problem, at least when it comes to my own car... For example, it's about to reach 3 whole months since I stripped the paint on my hood with plans of testing a coating vs. sealant, but the simple fact that I'm already going to polish, followed by the mandatory 2nd step of "prep polish" for the coating, + I gotta be extra careful and lay down clean towel between sides in order to prevent cross contamination [I'm anal like that when I perform tests] has led me to not make the time to get around to it...

Not only that, but I had to buy a used tire about a month ago... I went ahead and cleaned it the 1st day, but didn't have time to coat it 3x that day.. So of course I haven't gotten around to doing that either so my car has 3 coated tires and 1 ugly one. Ain't got no time for that! Lol.
 
I used this yesterday morning. Used it in my foam gun with an Adams wash pad. It seems pretty slick and cleaned my coated car well. Left behind a good shine as well. I did use it while the sun was comming up and washed 1 panel at a time with no streaking of any sort.

Anyone ever use the Hydrofoam wash and then the Hydro 2 together? Or do you guys think this would be overkill?

You're basically using two very similar products. They're just used in different ways.

I would lean more to overkill. Maybe reload would be a better option.
