Hydrosilex Recharge

[LGHT]

I bought a bottle when it was 12 bucks on some special and its still sitting in my cabinet unopened.
Based on all the reviews/ feedback coming out of the woodwork I don`t know why I bothered but similarly wanted to judge myself however with so many great products out there I don`t think I will ever use it.
If anyone would like the bottle and will actually use it feel free to PM me your address and I will send it over!

Very new to detailing and never used a a coating product before. Would it be ok to use on an older truck that has been neglected for several years? If your not going to use it It may be better than nothing which is what I`m doing with the truck now..

I don`t see why you could not. It can be used on bare paint as a stand alone or topper for an existing coating.
I can;t speak to durability but based on feedback here from trusted autopians you may be applying it often
Just PM me your address if interested and I can ship it out this week.

On dry paint it looks ok and leaves some protection. It’s just there are many better products. An old truck is a good match for Recharge. I would put a few coats on it and call it a day.

My BIL loved it, on his 2008 F-350. He had been using Turtle Wax and Dry.

Ok great. Yeah I don`t want to put the good stuff on an old truck so it may be a good fit. I`ll just use it on that until it`s gone and get some turtle wax afterward lol...

Use it in the house...it works much better on granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances than it does on paint.

Funny because the detail section on both an Audi and Mercedes forum had several guys saying the product works great and is a game changer. Not sure if that was before they changed the formula or not, but I almost bought a bottle based on those reviews.

Yep, I use it on the granite tops in the kitchen and baths. Never thought of using it on stainless, will have to give it a try.

LGHT --
"game changer" from what ? Turtle Wax ?

And there are Corvette Forums out there today that swear Zaino is the best thing ever..

Not bashing those Forums, etc., but if the people swearing by the stuff are more casual users, etc., the vehicle is a garaged Baby, etc., well their results will always be different.

Perhaps get on there with those people and ask them how many lights do they have in their Garage so that its like DayLight in there ?

Most any car will look great in a garage with only 1 - 60watt bulb in the ceiling, right ?

I’m on a couple of the car forums too and I laugh at the products and techniques that are espoused there. I used to try to help out but I could tell I was fighting a losing battle. Stick to the detailing forums for detailing advice.

I know what you mean.. I quit going on those sites well over a decade ago.. It`s almost like how it used to be ? (Or is it still like that?) on a Site that is...well.. uhm..very close by...h34r:

I believe the last one I was ever on was a BMW Forum in late 2000, when I bought my first new Jet Black 2001 3-Series...

Was basically a nice place, lots of new Bimmer owners, all trying to get advice etc., on how to care for their new Baby`s...

Then there were a couple of really mean hicks from somewhere on there, that bullied and beat up on people all the time..
They even made this poor lady cry because of the mean, hateful things they said to her.. She threatened to sic her Law Firm on them and then they knocked it off for her only..

One of the bully`s was at the time a writer on the BMW Roundel Magazine... A real piece of work..

I agree, you just cannot fix some stuff..

[Coatings=crack]

So I ordered bottle of this stuff before I decided I needed to actually work on my paint cuz it was easy. maybe it’s me but I think this done an excellent job. Car paint had no work on it at all (flat water slow to sheet). I clayed (mothers) and wash with melon foam soap. Applied 3 coats as recommended (dry method) in 2weeks. Last coat was oct 30th. I am not promote using as I fell down a hole and bought way to much stuff (gallon ofclutch, 500ml cosmic spritz, can coat, moonlight, cquk3, 209ml reload, 16 oz hydro blue.... I have a problem.) and will pass HS on. But because of reviews wasn’t expecting much.

This not washed 4 weeks. Garaged at night, outside all day. Was in garage 1 full week for vacation. Rained on probably 50% of time while out side in the northwest after all. Again same price as reload/cure and is probably performs as well.
