I was talking with a gent the other night and the topic got around to paint protection.

He has been using a product called Hydrosilex on his new Subaru. He says it's a ceramic coating that's spray on/wipe off, and lasts for about 6 months under normal conditions. Rain and other liquid debris just runs right off.

https://www.hydrosilex.com/

The paint on my '63 is pretty shineless. I figure if this stuff will give me some shine and last half a year I'd be good with it. I figure I'd just go with the Recharge. I can wash and prep a surface to 'completely clean' with standard products.

We've all seen about a billion miracle spray on/wipe off products that have been touted as the best thing since sliced bread. Before jumping in on this one, has anyone had any experience with it?

Interesting. I saw a video that provides comparison between using a wax and Hydrosilex -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7Qtw5YVm74
