After two weeks it was time for the first wash. I chose to take out the pressure washer to showcase the true hydrophobic behavior of C6 Hydro Lite. I was also sent a bottle of C6 Mist which is the drying aid / maintenance topper for Hydro Lite.

I put C6 hydro light on my car. Memorial day weekend and can't believe the hydrophobic properties of this coating Just the gloss alone is something to be hold. When I tell my friends I have to wash my car because it's dirty. They look at me like I'm crazy Because it always looks clean. I'm still waiting on C6 mist to be available on the website.

Great video Mike. Thanks for the update.

Thank you as well. Two great products thus far that compliment each other.

Yvan replied to me and said C6 Mist would last about a month, but I don't think it really stacks like some other products do. He said you could use it daily with no ill effect to the coating performance. It isn't designed to be a durable product and the coating isn't designed to need a topper. Coating performance looks great! I can't wait to get it on my wife's car... but 50-60 hour weeks at work and keeping up with a 2 year old is making that difficult.

Thanks for the info on Mist's durability.

I don’t have the small kids anymore but, working those long hours I echo your sentiment. I wish I had more time to devote to detailing my vehicles. Long hours and short turnaround times between shifts, it is a workout like no other kind. The video is great. I still am waiting to use the 3 and 5 year stack I bought from DIY earlier this year.

Wash and talks are always great. I'm definitely interested in picking up some C6 Mist once it's back in stock.

C6 Mist is so nice to work with. I think you will like it.

The video I did with Eddie which was Jimbos's Tough as Shell vs the mystery was C6 Mist and it out lasted tortuing of Tough as Shell . Slickess surface I every found not just a non durable topper.

For an extra careful wash if I want to not double dip I’ll use folded TRC Wolfpacks, folded Hyperclean versatowels, or a couple Autofiber double flips👌🏼

Hydrophobic are insane 🥶🥶. I'd like to see a side by side of mist vs. ceramic gloss on bare paint. Seems kinda steep at $30 a bottle to use as a drying aid with minimal protection. Might as well use a diluted rinseless for slickness when drying if the coating really does last 🤷‍♂

@diydetailofficial Ай бұрын

C6 Ceramics Mist isn’t designed for long lasting protection, that’s why you have a coating on the car. C6 Ceramics Mist is designed for the ultimate in safety, ease of use, lubrication and gloss.

@LSD04 Ай бұрын

Got to admit, that’s some impressive hydrophobics, will be interesting to see how long it can keep that up.

@jasonwalter9359 Ай бұрын

Everone seems to focus on WATER beading... Did anyone notice the FOAM beading. The Hydro line has insane hydrophobics! I first saw this on my wife's F150 - DIY Detail's 5 year on one panel with Hydro on the adjacent panel. Tighter beads with better self cleaning after a rain storm with Hydo. But seeing Incredible Suds stick on the 5 year, but totally BEAD on the Hydro was insane.

@markweber5278 Ай бұрын

I've been happy with the ceramic gloss as a drying aid can't justify the cost of the c6 mist when the ceramic gloss works good and adds some protection .

@MikeGDetailing Ай бұрын

The only thing I will add is Mist is designed to be used with hydro lite. It is not as durable as ceramic gloss but it won’t alter the hydrophobic behavior like ceramic gloss will.

@ScottKelley Ай бұрын

Auto start/stop is anoying. Luckily my Crosstrek has this aftermarket adapter that intercepts the button and keeps it turned off by memory that I installed last year, it's been a game changer, no longer have to worry about the start/stop anymore.

Yeah I agree it is. Once it is off it is much better as it should be.

That looks amazing, I missed out on thos coating by a few months. It's landed in the UK already 😢. You seem genuinely please with it! I'm curious to know what your TDS is in your water? Mine is around 250, I'm just wondering what the products would behave like if you has similar TDS to me. Nice work Mike and DIY/ C6 👌

@RL-ju9ye Ай бұрын

Thanks Mike - two questions for you. How does hydro lite compare to gyeon mohs in terms of applications and looks? How does incredible suds compare to CarPro reset in terms of lubricity, cleaning power, and rinsing? I know you’ve used mohs and reset so I wanted to get your thoughts on those products in comparison to hydro lite and CarPro reset. Thanks!

@MikeGDetailing Ай бұрын

In terms of application both coatings are user friendly. Hydro Lite will rainbow and once the rainbow starts to go away it can be wiped off just like the other DIY coatings. Gyeon Mohs will do the sweating effect and out of the two will flash faster. Hydro Lite will have the longer flash time to work a larger area. In terms of appearance I believe the look of hydro lite is glossier due to the enhancement that the APP polish also adds since it contains SiO2. To compare Reset and Incredible Suds. I like the consistency of Reset over the thickness of incredible suds. Both rinse off clean and both have comparable lubricity. There is something about Reset that just cleans better than most car soaps. So I would give the edge to Reset.

@Mike G ,Good day, I ask you, does the quick detailer add brightness? And I ask why perhaps my cell phone has a defective screen or bulb and I can't see it properly?

@MikeGDetailing Ай бұрын

My eyes and brain say yes. But hard to tell as the paint was recently polished and the APP polish and Hydro Lite coating already had the paint looking glossy.

How do you like those Autofiber Flat out wash pads? Do they get super floppy when wet?

@MikeGDetailing Ай бұрын

They are nice. They hold a good amount of liquid but don’t feel any different than a regular microfiber wash mitt. Not super floppy like the noodle style wash mitts.
