![]() ![]() Whether using it on wheels or paint, always make sure to rinse very thoroughly both the obvious surface as well as all the crevices (jambs, trim, mirrors, wheel bolts, etc). You will start seeing some nice beading action and if using a slow flow from the hose a lot of water will simply fly off and leave the wheel much easier to dry. While it’s great on both body panels and wheels, we mainly use this type of sealant on wheels because most vehicles get a paint coating on the actual painted panels.Īfter the wheel is clean and fully rinsed, wait for most of the water to run off (not for the wheel to be dry, rather for water not to be constantly running down the surface, because that will take the sealant with it)…Īfter, spray somewhat liberally on the entire surface (little can go a long way if applied properly/evenly, but I like to give the wheel a good 6-8 sprays to ensure even coverage)…Īfter, simply wait a bit (we usually wait 10-15 seconds) and rinse thoroughly with some good pressure… This took that out of the equation, which is definitely a plus. One of the issues with Hydro was always how much to dilute it in order to get good durability but not have issues with it drying too quickly and leaving spots. I’ll go into the spotting situation a bit more toward the end of this article as it also relates to our experience with WetCoat, but first want to document the overall experience I’ve had with WetCoat.įirst thing I was happy with was not having to dilute it while retaining a similar per liter price as Hydro, which was around $22. I’ve been a huge fan of Hydro for years since it came out but the spotting was unbearable so we needed a change. ![]() The reason we needed to replace Hydro was horrible spotting issues we started having earlier this year (I believe, may have been late 2016) when the color and/or formula changed. The reason I started using it at our shop was to try an alternative to CarPro HydrO2 (aka Hydro). I’ve been using Gyeon WetCoat for about the last 6-7 months and have been a big fan.
