HGG Review

[ledger64]

First use tonight of the H2O Guard and Gloss (HGG) from the show this weekend on my Daily Driver with is a 2004 Duramax.  I have a new favorite product!!!  After a quick 2 bucket wash I applied the HGG one panel at a time with a wetdouble soft towel followed by a dry double soft towel.  The product goes on and instantly starts working to activate and displace the water.  The drying and levelling with the second towel was effortless and leaves a nice glossy shine.  The whole process took approx. half an hour including the wash.

 

A few notes:

-  As I moved from panel to panel I found i sprayed less product as the applicator towel was primed with product from the previous section

 

- the smell,  I have nicknamed it Super Grape is phenomenal.  if you don't want to smell like grape for the next couple hours then i suggest wearing gloves. 

 

- this week is going to be rain here in CT so it should be a good test to see the results.  I will update at the end of the week.

 

The only real question I have is in regards to my towels that I used.  I currently have them sitting in a bucket with some APC.  Is this enough to remove the HGG or is there a different process that I should do to clean the towels?  Is it ok to mix these towels in with other towels when I was them?

 

Didn't get a chance to take some pics as it was getting dark after I finished my clean up but ill try to grab some tomorrow

Could this possibly be easier?  Took me 15 minutes longer than my normal 2 bucket wash/dry. As shown in the video 3 sprays per panel, let dwell for a few seconds, spread with damp towel, dry with dry towel. I did actually save a few minutes due to no pooling rinse done. 

 

What I liked best? No buffing required!

 

After completion I had a couple "spots" that weren't removed with the drying towel. One wipe with the damp towel, one wipe with the dry was all that was needed.

 

I actually sealed my car and added gloss in 15 mins without the use of a DA? Dare I say, "So easy a caveman could do it"?

So I tried this on my black F150 DD. I'm convinced this stuff is awesome. Not only did it go on quick and easy, making a great shine, but it seems to repel the recent rain water better. I'm having fewer spots and better shine on a "dirty" truck. The follow up washes are quicker, and the dirt is sticking less than with the other two sealants. This is going to be a regular on all the cars that sleep outside. Glad I bought the gallon.

Update:

 

Sat. I did a rinseless wash/HGG combo.  So now with two applications of HGG I couldn't be happier.  Very little maintence in between.  Essentially one WW and DS session about a week ago.  The total time i took this round was approx 1hr as i did the wheels and tires full clean and svrt application and glass clean and seal as well.  The HGG holds up really nice and the time it saves is exponential.
