Correct spelling Hydrosilex.

Anyone have experience with this coating.

Supposed to be idiot proof application and can be layered, ceramic coating.

I have googled it and read reviews, looking for Forum members experiences.

I tend to be on the "won't buy" side of the fence.

yep,received some in beginning of Feb. So here it is
On three cars I applied it to the first was washed and that was it. Having been down with shoulder problems since mid summer car was unprotected. I coated entire car once,then applied a second coat a week later. Mike ( CEO-founder) told me to wait a week between coats. This application would be a stand alone. Claims are it's a coating topper or stand alone. Application was as easy as any product I've ever used,melts into paint with o effort and no streaking. I was not impressed with slickness at all. While it did add some, it is one of the least slick surfaces. After a month( car sits outside and saw 2 or 3 snow storms and a couple rains, beading was fairly good.After that I moved car and have not seen it since.
Second car was half the hood polished with FG400 and wiped with Top inspection( both Menzerna products) then 1 coat applied. Beading and self cleaning properties exhibited for 2 weeks and have diminished with each week. Maybe a month it hold but it's failing
Third car half the hood was polished with Sonax 04-06 and cleaned with CarPro Eraser.One coat applied. Initial week was fantastic beading. However after 4 weeks it appears gone-Car was washed once after 2 weeks and showed minimal signs of life.
Ease of application was the same. The product seems very watery and may require several coats to hold up as a stand alone as the 2 coats did much better than the single coat. Waiting to try it over a coating and sealant.
One thing I did use it on to great success was the stainless steel appliances. Cut down on finger prints and makes removal very easy. I will continue to use for that for sure.
I think at this point Reload and Cure are better options as longevity and slickness are better. Waiting for pollen to see how it does with that though before I give up on auto purpose.
Also applied to shower. 2 weeks then faded

So not the longer term protection as advertised.

I currently use the Klasse acrylic system and have for years. I use the sealant mixed with a detail spray every wipe down and I haven't redone the base application in years.

Car finish is still slick and smooth.

The car is garaged and really doesn't see much driving, just a few thousand miles a year, and never in poor weather. So my results are under almost optimal conditions.

Thanks for the reply I came across the product and was curious due to the ease of stated application.

Hi Boomer. I also continue to use the Klasse system. Once you put me onto the Sonus products I have been very satisfied with the way the finish looks. Going on 10 years with Klasse now and can find no reason to change. Especially when I consider costs of coatings now on the market. Thanks again for the advice a while back.

I have also tried it on one of my cars at my shop and it was poor at best. There are a lot of "Ceramics" out there that are pure snake oil.
So many bottom feeders it is becoming difficult for the hobbyist to distinguish the good from the bad.
