Glad to hear!
I have an article pending for Hydro2 application tips that will surely be useful for many who have seen issues.
As you mentioned... A super fine mist is all that is needed, and rinsing very well is critical! Once you get it down, it is a breeze.

I bought the DLUX for wheels, then I saw the video you made on Detailed Image and thought, "Oh man, why would I ever want to touch my wheels again!". I know what you're saying though; I'll apply the DLUX at some point and refresh it with the Hydro2 occasionally.
Zach, I know the coating lasts 2-3 months, but would using it every other wash be overkill? My original plan was to use Hydro2 biweekly, Iron X quarterly, and Reload when I used Iron X

There isn't much of a reason to use both HydrO2 and Reload in the manner hat you described. I'd just continue to use HydrO2 after IronX treatments.

You can't use hydro2 too much... But it is simply a waste of product to use it that often. If say once a month is the most often I would use it, but again, it is completely up ton you.

I think I'll do a year with monthly hydro2 and then a year with quarterly reload just to see which one I like better.

I've never seen any pictures taken of the streaking that some people get when they wait too long to spray it off with a strong blast of water, or use too strong of a ratio...or both. I'd kind of like to see what the streaks look like.
And, can anyone explain what the streaking (which is said to be difficult to remove) is made-up of. Is it like hardened or fused silica?

As mentioned, it is usually caused by applying to too much of an area at once, and not being aware of where you need to be rinsing. I've never had issues, but I only apply to one small panel at a time and rinse very very well (including panels adjacent to the ones I just applied hydrO2 to due to the chance of overspray).

How important is the water pressure used to blast the product off the surface? And, is one particular type of water delivery used (e.g. fixed stream, rotary, spray, flow, etc.) best to shock/activate the product? Is the angle at which the water hits the surface important? Also, how does the surface (paint) temperature, the ambient (air) temperature, as well as the water (blast) temperature affect the application and final results?
