Chemical GuysWAC_808_16 Hybrid V7 Optical Select High Gloss Spray Sealant & Quick Detailer (Safe for All Finishes Including Ceramic Coatings), 16 fl oz, Orange Scent

I bought this 3 years ago and JUST NOW used it on my new 2025 F-150. I’ve applied two coats of another top rated spray sealant but it just never gave me confidence in knowing it was applied or even working. Had a vinegar smell too. Anyways I grabbed this knowing it was 3 years old, sprayed it onto a microfiber, dampening it well enough and started wiping away. Seeing the product coat the paint and dry in seconds with no hazing at all along with the orange scent instantly had me amazed. I did the entire truck in about 10 minutes, stood back, saw that glossy, deep wet shine and did that nod of acceptance as I stared at it in awe. This is what I wanted!! I’m in AZ so we have constant dust, heat and other contaminants just attacking vehicles and I’m confident this will defend and protect on a more than sufficient level.

Huge fan, when using Chemical Guys together with their other products the results are simply awesome! Been using these for years on very High End vehicles, unbelievable positive comments!

Does an awesome job and not too hard to put on

Great quick application in between washes for a glossy shine

I used it once and it seems to do a good job overall.

It does what it says, paint protection ,smoothness

Awesome product

I've used Hybrid V7 twice now and I really like it. It smells great and is pretty much removed in an effortless manner. I don't intend on using it as a quick detailer for in between washing. My main use will be for... wait for it... DRYING my car. Once my car is fully washed and there's standing water left on the paint, I take a damp microfiber towel, mist the V7 in a sweeping motion to achieve better coverage on each panel, and then I dry the paint with the damp MF towel. Sounds kinda weird to dry water with a damp towel and using a liquid spray, but it works and the V7 adds a layer of lubrication between the paint and the drying towel, making a safer drying technique. The Hybrid V7 also adds a nice shine to paint that is well maintained or polished (in this case, my paint has been polished and well maintained) and also adds some slickness to the paint. My plan is to use it after every wash during the drying process and also add that fortifying protection for the paint sealant (Menzerna Power Lock, in this case), so I'm getting two jobs done during one process. My gallon of V7 is nowhere near done and I'm already itching to buy more, lol.EDIT: 05/07/2013I recently made a discovery about the V7, a negative one at that. I use Menzerna Power Lock paint sealant on my paint as the main protection, two coats of it to be exact. I noticed that every time I used the Hybrid V7 after the wash during the drying stage, it seemed as if the water was no longer beading and had a lot of surface tension going on as if there was no wax protection whatsoever. After talking with some fellow auto geeks on the Autogeek forums, I've discovered that the V7 must not "play well" with the Menzerna sealant. It's not necessarily a bad product, the V7, but it seemed to have an ill effect on the MPL, so I stopped using it altogether and I moved onto using a different synthetic spray wax. I'm sure the V7 works well with other Chemical Guys products, but certainly not with Power Lock. If any of you guys use Power Lock, I suggest you use something else to top off your main wax/sealant protection.
