Aqua Coat Hydrophobic Rinse Aid

Spring has arrived, and that means it’s time for your seasonal detailing. Enter the Auto Finesse Aqua Coat Hydrophobic Rinse Aid.

Available in both 1-litre and 5-litre sizes, Auto Finesse Aqua Coat Hydrophobic Rinse Aid is designed to boost water repellency and deliver long-lasting protection. The best part? It’s quick and easy to apply. With advanced water-beading technology, Aqua Coat ensures that every exterior surface of your car repels water on contact. Applied during the wash stage, it adds a protective SiO2 coating that lasts up to 2-3 months. Plus, it comes with a delightful bubblegum scent for an extra touch of freshness!

Applying Aqua Coat is incredibly easy. Start by snow foaming and washing your car as usual. After fully rinsing off the car shampoo and ensuring no residue is left, lightly mist Aqua Coat over the entire vehicle, covering all surfaces including plastics, brightwork, paintwork, rubbers, and glass. The mist spreads evenly, so it won’t take long to cover the whole car. You don’t need a lot of product—during the rinsing stage, the water will help spread Aqua Coat across the entire vehicle, ensuring full coverage with just a light mist.

After thoroughly rinsing the vehicle from top to bottom and ensuring all traces of Aqua Coat have been washed away, you’ll notice the instant hydrophobic effect. Water will bead and roll off the surfaces immediately. To finish, dry the car using a microfibre drying towel right away to prevent streaks or water spots from forming due to quick drying.

Always begin with a wet vehicle—never apply Aqua Coat to a dry surface. If streaking or spotting occurs, quickly apply a polish like our Tripple all-in-one and buff it off for a flawless finish. Aqua Coat doesn't require any curing time, so avoid letting it dry on the vehicle. Also, steer clear of applying it to a hot car or in direct sunlight. Remember, a little goes a long way—don't over-apply.
