CHEMICAL GUYS HYDROSLICK HYPERWAX VS CHEMICAL GUYS HYDROCHARGE: YOU DECIDE WHICH IS BETTER??

Will you be picking up either one of these products?

I think it was hard to wipe off the Hydro slick because you used too much. Per the instructions it said a few dots per panel, I think a full line for 1/4 of a hood was way too much.

Lol, totally ignored application instructions then complains about hard removal...

Female opinion here guys! I've had Hydro Charge on my vehicle for 8 months now. Actually, since I knew that our winter could be brutal (meaning lots of No-Touch car washes throughout the season), I put on a second coat a day later (following directions to use only a few drops!). Here it is many months later after commercial No-Touch washes, manual washes, and waterless washes, and the beading is as good as it was right after application in the Fall. I recently had a minor touch up paint job done and the tech asked me what in the world I had applied to the panel because nothing would stick to it and the shine was incredible. So hey, I'm satisfied! Who would spray on heavy chemicals on their vehicle anyway -- unless you're doing a paint job?

this is the first time i hear someone complaining that you get too much of their product😂 id be happy that a 40$ spray lasts me 10+ wash

One thing different about it, the hydroslick can be applied to glass and chrome wheels. Hydrocharge cannot

I have a shocking revelation about the hydro slick: if used as directed it works as described. The amount you spread on the half hood is enough for a half side of a vehicle. But it is what it is right?

You use Hydrocharge to revitalize and maintain your hydroslick coat. You wanna use Hydrosuds to wash it, which will also help maintain the coat instead of stripping it. These are not one or the other kind of products. They are complimentary to each other. As with any Ceramic coating, preparation is key. Make sure the paint is perfectly clean and sterile to the very definition. DO NOT rush into it. DO NOT rush applying it. 2 thin coats is much more effective and efficient than being heavy handed. Let it fully cure for 24 hours, and for the love of god do not let any moisture touch it. Do not use a moist cloth to buff it off.

I appreciated your demo, but what you must remember these products are not coatings, they are sealants. Sealants are not designed to last as long as a coating. Coating are much stronger and less forgiving. That’s why certified applicators are the ones doing them. Consumer based companies will not sell coatings on a mass basis to consumers because of the liabilities. Sio2 being in a product does not make it a coating. Remember sio2 is silica/sand, that’s what glass is made of. This is the component that provides the protection. Titanium deoxide is the component that creates the explosive color density. Coatings have both items to make them effective.

Try the test again, but wait 24hrs after application to run your battery test. You're going to get different results. Post the video of it when you're done too!

Chemical Guys never fail to overcharge for underwhelming products

Too much hyperwax and not enough cure time = wrong results. This test should be redone.

Did you prep the hood properly? I used hydro slick last summer. Used a compound, polish, and then cleaned paint with alcohol and distilled water. I had no issues wiping off the hydro slick.

I was waiting on you to review before I bought

You used too much of the Hydro Slick and I think you didn't let it cure enough. And it would be better if you would put it on the applicator first, not on the hood and also you should not go in circular motion.

The Hydro slick needs to be applied on the applicator. Four dime size blots is all you need and you’re going in a circular motion; you’re supposed to go in a cross pattern. You apply it on one direction all the way and then when you’re done with that you cross it and you apply in the other direction. I think you applied six times the amount if not more hence why it was so hard to get off. I have not had a problem and I only use a microfiber towel with light pressure when wiping it off, never had an issue.

The gel is thick and holds the chemical in contact with the paint surface longer. As well, it dries slower, allowing more time for the substance to bond to the surface. That is also why it is more work to buff out.

Honestly, Im probably going to get HydroSlick just for the sake of trying out myself. I know Chemical Guys gets a lot of flack for their products but I honestly haven't had any issues with the numerous products of theirs that I have used. Im not a professional detailer, just someone who likes to detail and take care of my own cars. Great vid though.

How many hours did you let them cure before you tried to remove them with the iron remover? Why would a product that clearly hardened in the sprayer and around the neck of the bottle not bond to the paint and come right off? Why would the results be so radically different from what Brian at Apex got for Hydrocharge? I just applied and and noticed it took a good 24 hours for it to fully cure on a freshly prepped vehicle and a brand new, unopened bottle. Maybe this stuff cures slowly and/or spoils quickly? Gloss is insane so far...see how long in lasts with just 1 coat. Did a 300 mile trip after 24 hours and truck is still squeaky clean which is a good sign. PS - I gt both Jimbo kits from Autofiber and love them. Both great kits, great products and, except for the scrubbers, little unnecessary overlap between the 2 kits. For $100 a driveway detailer could have all the quality MF towels they need for a while!

God send for doing this. Thank you!!!!!!
