On another thread the question was brought up about using the Sio2 type spray and rinse sealants with out the rinse aspect. I commented I had done it and would try to run a comparison so this is that thread
Disclaimers I`m not a shill or sponsored or work for any company of any type of detailing product. Anything I have, I have purchased.
On to the thread. In this testing I will be using The Waxed Shine Aquabead (it`s a company from Canada although they have on their Facebook they are working on a us based distribution outlet out of Arizona.)
It is a competitor to CarPro hydro2, Gyeon wet coat, Mckees Hydro blue, car products speed seal and I`m sure there are others out there that I just don`t know about
I first got hydro2 in a detaibox if anyone remembers those. And was pleased with the results. From there I bought more and used it up so I got a liter of Aquabead from the Waxed Shine as there was talk about it being less streak prone and finicky.
On the test subject it is my Our GMC. Paint is black metallic, our van is white so not as good of a pallet to test for steaks etc. it`s just a daily driver her route to work is past rock quarries. Mulch facilities, etc. muddy, dusty, dirty road. It rains it snows etc. so not a kind So cal environment.
On to the test. I cleaned both drivers side doors the front door will be spray and wipe of the 1:7 ratio (1 Aquabead: 7 distilled water) the rear door will be spray on wet and rinse to activate or whatever they company`s claim happens on a science level. Nothing exciting to see. Two clean doors with a fresh sealant on them
I just took some pics you can see the reflection of the white van and me trying to reflect the bottle of Aquabead in the paint. Both doors look the same. Both feel to my untrained hand the same.
I will track the performance of this scenario periodically
I guess there was thinking that it needed water to do its magic but this product says you can spray and wipe and CarPro hydro2 lite when it was launched on the U.K. Detail site they said you can use it that way as well. My thought it is should last longer with no water to activate it because it`s not diluted. But again I may have had magic to activate its super bond. Time will tell
No it didn`t streak. No issues.
Thanks for reading my mess I`m sure there are typos and poor grammar. Perhaps a video upcoming of performance comparisons but first we need to daily drive it and get it in the real world. Both would bead and sheet like a champ right now.
