Here is my experience with this product. I have applied once last fall, a second time about one month ago, and a third application about ten days after the second application (reason below).
Right after the application, my LBB M2 looks great. The paint is shinier, very slick to the touch. As others have said, almost anything I put on the hood will slide right off of it. Touching it feels great, and it beads nicely, for sure. BUT, after a week of normal car use, not much sun here in Quebec in June and a few slightly rainy days, the beading is gone??? no more slickiness to the touch, no more objects sliding off the hood by themselves, and the worse part, VERY bad dirt spots left all over the car after the water from the rain has dried What the heck? I have tried a simple test, ie treating only half the car, and to me the result seems obvious...the effect of this product does not last a single week on my car! Whys is it so? I follow the (easy) instructions, and the bottle looks real, the pinkish fluid inside looks intact. I do not want to bash on this product, I just wanted it to work, as advertised. I will redo half the hood later today and I will post pics right after doing it, then a week later, and I will report back to support my claim. |

I am not 100% convinced on Ceramic coatings other than the bonding properties when done exactly correct. If you’re applying to anything other than paint without wax etc, it won’t last very long.

It's too early to tell as far as longevity is concerned since I park in a garage at work and in a garage at night. I feel that the true test is exposing the car to the elements and seeing how long the coating lasts. Admittedly after applying and seeing how easy it is to apply I became immediately suspicious as to how long it'll last - it was just too easy and too good to be true... |

DetailersDomain , now that this product has been out for a while, do you have any first-hand experience on the durability of HydroSilex Recharge?

I have since switch to this. I apply it while the car is wet and just rinse it off . That simple and the car stays protected and shiny for a long time. https://www.detailersdomain.com/coll...olex-si-splash

thanks guys. I just ordered my SiSplash.
I've never done a wet application before. Just don't dry the car (I typically rewet as I'm washing so i don't get waterspots), mist it all over the car from the spray bottle (glass and other non-paint ok?) let it sit for a couple of minutes then rinse it off with the hose...and dry as normal? I like that approach as I won't get the SiSplash on my drying towels. Thanks again.
