Hydro Silk: The First True Wax Replacement

Wax is outdated. Hydro Silk is the next evolution in vehicle protection, delivering the deep gloss of wax, the durability of ceramics, and effortless application—without the limitations.

Engineered with Nano-Crystal Technology and an advanced SiO₂ matrix, Hydro Silk forms a flexible, hydrophobic shield that repels contaminants, resists heat and chemicals, and prevents oxidation. Acting as a self-removing layer, it protects for 3-6 months before naturally wearing away—leaving no buildup, streaks, or residue.

Safe for paint, glass, trim, and wraps, Hydro Silk enhances depth, boosts hydrophobicity, and preserves a flawless finish with minimal effort. Whether for a show car or daily driver, Hydro Silk makes surface care faster, easier, and truly effective

Designed for Wrap Protection & Enhancement

Hydro Silk isn’t just compatible with wraps—it’s engineered for them. Unlike rigid ceramic coatings that crack, peel, and degrade wraps over time, Hydro Silk forms a flexible, wrap-safe barrier that protects without compromising durability.

Why Traditional Ceramic Coatings Fail on Wraps

🚫 Microfractures & Delamination – Hard SiO₂ coatings don’t flex with wraps, leading to stress fractures, peeling, and uneven gloss on matte finishes.
🚫 Solvent Damage to Adhesives – Harsh solvents weaken wrap adhesives, causing lifting, bubbling, and shrinkage.
🚫 Poor Bonding & Uneven Wear – Vinyl and PPF have low surface energy, leading to patchy adhesion, premature wear, and trapped contaminants.
🚫 Plasticizer Depletion – Traditional coatings seal but don’t nourish wraps, making them brittle over time.

Why Hydro Silk is the Ultimate Wrap Solution

✔ Moves With the Wrap – Prevents cracking, lifting, and stress fractures.
✔ Adhesive-Safe – No aggressive solvents to weaken wrap bonds.
✔ UV Shielding – Absorbs & blocks UV, preventing fading, oxidation, and material breakdown.
✔ Self-Cleaning Hydrophobicity – Repels dirt, water, and contaminants, keeping wraps cleaner longer.
✔ Plasticizer Retention – Locks in flexibility, preventing premature stiffening or cracking.

Unlike long-term ceramic coatings, Hydro Silk was designed for wraps—not adapted for them.

Protects Wraps at the Molecular Level

Hydro Silk actively stabilizes and reinforces plasticizers within vinyl and PPF, preserving flexibility and extending lifespan.
🔹 Prevents Plasticizer Loss – Maintains wrap elasticity, preventing brittleness.
🔹 Blocks UV Damage – Shields against oxidation, fading, and cracking.
🔹 Hydrophobic Defense – Reduces water absorption that weakens adhesives.

For maximum protection, apply seasonally or every six months to maintain UV resistance, hydrophobicity, and wrap integrity.

Hydro Silk doesn’t just coat wraps—it preserves, enhances, and protects them.

Reinforce and Perfect Ceramic Coatings.

Ceramic coatings don’t last forever. Over time, UV exposure, wear, and chemical contamination create microcracks, porosity, and hydrophobic loss, weakening protection. Hydro Silk doesn’t just top coatings—it chemically restores them.

Why Ceramic Coatings Degrade

🚫 UV & Environmental Breakdown – Sunlight and extreme temperatures weaken the SiO₂ network, leading to porosity and oxidation.
🚫 Physical Stress – Washing, road debris, and wear create microcracks, reducing surface integrity.
🚫 Chemical Erosion – Acidic fallout, industrial contaminants, and harsh cleaners break down the protective layer over time.

Even under ideal conditions, coatings lose hydrophobicity and structural strength within six months to a year.

Hydro Silk: True Ceramic Restoration

✔ SiO₂ Infusion & Healing – Hydro Silk chemically adheres to the ceramic, filling microcracks and pores with fresh SiO₂, restoring lost material and sealing weak points.
✔ Covalent Bonding Sealants – Specialized additives covalently bond to the ceramic, reinforcing durability and extending protection beyond standard toppers.
✔ Nano-Crystalline Locking System – Nano crystals lock everything in place while the chemical reactions occur, ensuring a structurally sound, long-lasting repair.
✔ Optical Enhancement – Nano crystals smooth and refine the surface, improving clarity, depth, and gloss for a finish that outshines even new ceramic coatings.

Beyond Repair: A Shinier, Stronger Ceramic Layer

✔ Seamless Surface Renewal – Hydro Silk replaces lost SiO₂, leaving the coating smoother, shinier, and structurally reinforced.
✔ Superior Hydrophobicity – Enhances water repellency, outperforming the original ceramic coating for effortless cleaning.

Long-Term Protection & Maintenance

Using Hydro Silk seasonally or every six months ensures:
🔹 Reinforced UV and chemical resistance
🔹 More hydrophobicity than a brand-new ceramic coating
🔹 A smooth, high-gloss surface that lasts longer

Hydro Silk isn’t just a ceramic topper—it chemically repairs, strengthens, and perfects your ceramic coating.

Complete Defense Against UV Damage

Hydro Silk actively blocks, absorbs, and reflects UV, preventing oxidation, fading, and surface degradation. Unlike coatings that merely resist UV, Hydro Silk creates a true UV barrier—stopping damage before it starts.

How Hydro Silk Blocks UV
✔ Absorbs & Neutralizes UV – Captures UVA & UVB radiation, converting it into harmless heat instead of allowing it to degrade surfaces.
✔ Reflects UV Away – Scatters and deflects high-energy UV, preventing it from penetrating and weakening the coating.
✔ Stops Oxidation at the Source – Locks in protection to prevent color fading, polymer breakdown, and material degradation.
✔ Non-Migrating UV Shield – The UV-blocking layer stays embedded in the coating, ensuring long-term stability without fading or leaching.
✔ Prevents Moisture & Heat-Induced Breakdown – Reinforces surfaces against UV-accelerated chemical and thermal damage.

True UV Protection, Not Just Resistance

Regular application of Hydro Silk (seasonally or every six months) ensures:

🔹 Complete UV shielding to stop oxidation before it begins.
🔹 No fading, yellowing, or polymer breakdown under prolonged sun exposure.
🔹 Superior hydrophobicity & gloss retention, even in extreme conditions.

Hydro Silk doesn’t just resist UV—it blocks and neutralizes it, keeping surfaces truly protected against oxidation.

  • SiO₂ Meets Wax-Like Application: Combines the ease of wax application with the durability and protection of high SiO₂ content.

  • Sacrificial Layer Protection: Acts as a protective layer to safeguard long-term coatings, clearcoats, gelcoats, plastics, glass, decals, and synthetic leathers, preserving their integrity.

  • Non-Permanent Adherence: Gradually dissipates over time, ensuring no permanent adhesion or damage to the underlying surface.

  • Lasting Protection: Provides 3-6 months of reliable protection under harsh conditions, ideal for seasonal use with prolonged protection yet reduced hydrophobics for up to 1 year.

  • 20% SiO₂: Provides superior protection and gloss enhancement.

  • Structure: Combines a strong SiO₂ matrix with cross-linking and a crystal lattice to enhance durability, chemical resistance, and hydrophobicity. The lattice densifies the matrix, reduces microvoids, and improves clarity, gloss, and UV protection.

  • Hydrophobic Properties: Provides industry-leading water repellency and beading, ensuring surfaces remain clean and protected.

  • Enhanced Gloss: Adds a deep, reflective gloss to any surface, enhancing long-term coatings or acting as a stand-alone gloss enhancer.

  • Versatile Use: Suitable for automotive and marine applications, with strong adherence to various surfaces.
  1. Prep the surface. A minimum pre-cleaning with a recommendation of polishing for optimal gloss. Glass must have water spots removed.
  2. Apply 1-2 pumps to supplied foam applicator per 2 sq. ft. area (can be
    machine-applied with a foam pad). Apply the product thin to all surface types.
  3. Buff lightly in a circular, overlapping motion.
  4. Allow product to dwell for 15 to 30 minutes (minimum 5 minutes).
  5. Buff off with a microfiber towel until clear.

Hydro Silk undergoes a structured curing process to provide immediate protection and long-term durability.

While Hydro Silk provides reliable protection after just one hour. Keep dry for 8 hours. Do not wash for 3 days (rinse only). Wash only with pH-neutral soap.

Washing or exposing to harsh chemicals will not cause the coating to fail rather it may reduce the hydrophobics slightly and impact longevity depending on the severity of exposure.

Rest assured Hydro Silk was torture tested to make sure it’s as fool proof as possible.
