Anyone use Hydrosilex products?

I use all the products everyone listed in the above posts. And there is no way you can only wash your truck with optimum no rinse. I too love the stuff, but sometimes you need the power washer and a bucket, unless you never get the truck dirty. The meguiars ceramic wax is excellent, IMO. I put it on before the horrible winter we had and it was STILL sheeting and beading this spring. That is impressive considering we had more road salt and brine on our roads than I’ve seen in the last 10 years and I washed my truck at least 20 times over the course of the winter. It also cleaned up really nicely this spring with a through hand wash, and you can use the stuff on ever surface of your ride.

I don't be the one to say it, and I mean this in a totally respectable way, that beading is not as good as it should be. Chemical guys/Meguiars sells very basic and mediocre detailing supplies. If you were to go with other "high quality" brands such as cQuartz or gTechniq and do a legit ceramic coat on your vehicle the difference from this picture and the next would be night and day. What you're using is from them is just low quality band aids.

Not everyone wants to go through the process, cost and time of a true ceramic coating. Meguiars has some great stuff and the ceramic spray wax is one of them. Great reviews from users and you tube detail guys. Never tried CG stuff myself but I have a lot of Meguiars. Good stuff and reasonable cost.

I have been since last summer. Great product and super easy to apply (apply dry as a detailing spray after washing the truck). Very, very durable. I just re-applied it after about three months even though it was fully beading.

I still have my original 16oz bottle, and have a 32oz that I’ve bought a few months ago when I found it on sale, so it will be a while before I am able to try Meguiar’s product, but once I run out, I will give it a shot, as it seems like a very good product also.

What is dirty to you? I've used ONR exclusively for over a year now, including on a vinyl wrap, which scratches much easier than paint, and have had no issues. If the vehicle has substantial road film, dirt, or mud, I will spray it off at the self-serve wash with soap, rinse, and spot free water before starting with ONR just to be safe. But the product is insanely good. Detail/clay lube ONR dilution ratio in a spray bottle to pre-treat panels, followed by soaked & dry microfiber towel sections to wipe using the "Garry Dean" method, followed by their spray car wax is the only way I wash my vehicles now.

You can, but you'd be using a lot of product. Dry is the best way to apply SiO2 sprays like the one he used. If you use it dry like a detailing spray, it will last a long time and offer the best results.

I have spent lots of $$$ on different leather cleaners/conditioners and Whatever you do DO NOT waste your money on this product. 'Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner' It is absolute junk and leaves your leather dried out. Hands Down the worst leather care product I have ever purchased and it cost me $18.99

Dirty is what you said above- I too consider that dirty. Again, you aren’t just using ONR. Like I said above. You use it as a finishing wash. Agree. It’s insanely good and I use it whenever I can with the dean method as well. But I’m partial to the Megs Ceramic Wax now, like everything I will find something better to buy, ha!

I have been using Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner for years with great results, as well as their interior detail spray.

For the outside, I am currently using a pressure washer, the Chemical Guy's foam cannon and car wash, and then spray waxing with Griot's Garage spray-on wax. I get stellar results that last for a month or so. When I actually get the chance to pull out the DA RO buffer, I apply Meguiar's ULW, which lasts around 6 months.

I use a silicone water blade to half dry the vehicle before applying the GG SOW while finishing the drying, and then GG vinyl & rubber dressing for a like-new appearance to the tires.

I think every company has some good products and some bad.
I like CG's butter wet wax, their citrus wash and blacklight. Glossworkz glaze is also good for other vehicles not black. They also have VRP which is great for the sport hood and interior/exterior plastics.

That's about all I care for in their product line. Meguirers has always been middle of the road for me on most product. Decently priced, nothing crazy, nothing bad.
I usually use their wheel cleaner and interior detailer.

I hate their quick detailer.... always leaves a lot of residue and isn't easy to buff off in my cases.
