So Mckees 37 has done it again with there new spray on rinse off Sio2 coating Hydro Blue. Prior to getting my hands on this I had asked Nick a few times if they were going to release a spray on rinse off type product. He assured me one was in the works.

A short time ago this along with some other new stuff arrived at my door for honest reviews so I got to work!
As we all know Carpro Hydro2 was a break through product when released and I for one was a big fan up until last year when they changed something in the formula. They assured me it wouldn't change anything and overall they were right but lately I had been having some issues with streaking no matter how little or much I diluted it. So getting my hands on Mckees 37 Hydro Blue was exciting since I was in the market for something different.
The test subject for this is my personal truck that lives outside. I tend to use this for a lot of testing purposes from coatings, sealants etc. Recently I polished off the coating and had been doing some testing with a new compound and sealant. And the truck hasn't been washed prior to this for a few weeks.




For this test I skipped doing wheels and tires and decided to get straight to washing the paint. Keeping with the Mckees lineup I used some Mckees extreme foam shampoo in my normal 2bm and began washing.



After a thorough wash and rinse it was time for the fun part. The difference with this product is that it's in a ready to use formula. Some may like it some not. I personally like the ready to use formula. Less time messing with dilution ratios. At 17.99 for 16oz I see getting a bunch of full applications! I did ask Nick about offering in gallons. He said he will if there's enough interest. I know that I will purchase a gallon!


One to two sprays per panel and rinse it off. Simple.

Rinsing off.

Done!!

Who doesn't love beading!! And after blow drying there was no dark spots or streaking issues!




To get the remaining bit of water off I went ahead with my guzzler drying towel and some Mckees 37 high gloss detail spray and gave the truck a wipe down to finish it off.






And it just so happened to have rained out 2 days after applying Hydro Blue.

Easy to use. Great gloss. Great beading and it's from a trusted name in the car care industry. Mckees 37 Hydro Blue will be sitting on my shelf from now on.
