Protocol

How we run it in the bay.

1 gallon pre-order: $69.99 through Tuesday, Nov 3 ($89.99 from Nov 4). All gallon pre-orders ship Wednesday, Nov 4.

The everyday spray sealant. Refill by the gallon. AQUA-SLYDE, formerly Dual Action 2.0, is the everyday SiO₂ spray sealant in the AQUA lineup: buy the bottle once, refill it from the gallon, and keep your own sprayer.

It adds gloss, slickness and water beading to paint, glass and exterior trim. It works inside and outside the vehicle and is safe on all surfaces. Spray it on, spread it thin and buff it off. Same spot in the lineup, new formula, new name.

Ways to use it

  • On a dry car. Spray, spread thin and buff off.
  • On a wet car as a drying aid. Right after the wash, mist it on the wet panel and dry with your towel for added gloss and slickness.
  • Inside and out. Safe on all surfaces, inside and outside the vehicle.
  • Alone or as a topper. Use it on its own or over protection that's already on the car.

Ships with a cap. Sprayer not included. The 16 oz bottle and the gallon both ship sealed with a screw cap. Use your own trigger sprayer.

  • SiO₂ spray sealant. Gloss, slickness and water beading from a spray-and-buff product.
  • No cure window. No panel wipe and no leveling. Spray, spread, buff.
  • Inside and out. Safe on all surfaces, inside and outside the vehicle.
  • Alone or as a topper. Use it on its own or over protection that's already on the car.

Two sizes

  • 16 oz bottle, $19.99. The everyday size. Counts toward free shipping on orders over $100. Gallons and merch always ship at the regular rate.
  • 1 gallon refill, $69.99 pre-order price through Tuesday, Nov 3, or until the batch is gone ($89.99 from Nov 4). All gallon pre-orders ship Wednesday, Nov 4. One gallon refills your 16 oz bottle about eight times, which works out to about $8.75 per 16 oz refill at the pre-order price.

Gallon shipping: Gallon shipping is a sliding scale based on weight. Shipping has gotten expensive lately, and we do our best, but we can't cover all of it and stay in business. Gallon shipping is charged on every order, even orders over $100.

Where it sits in the lineup

We carry three spray sealants. From the top: Katch 22, Unicorn Dust, then AQUA-SLYDE. Katch 22 and Unicorn Dust are SiC-infused. AQUA-SLYDE is the SiO₂ option and the easy entry point. If you want a spray coating, VITRIFY MAX is the only one we carry.

How to use

  1. Add your sprayer. Swap the shipping cap for a trigger sprayer. Shake well before each use.
  2. Start clean. Wash with AQUA-SUDS. Use it on the dry car, or on the wet car as a drying aid. Work in the shade on a cool surface.
  3. Spray and spread. Mist one panel, or the Microsuede Applicator, and spread it thin and even. Don't let it sit and dry.
  4. Buff. Buff off with a clean face of The Swiss 16×16 10-Pack, then move to the next panel.
  5. Reapply when the beading drops off. Watch how water behaves on the surface, and top up between washes as needed.

Straight answers

Questions detailers ask.

Still stuck? Email info@aqualuxdetail.store or use the contact form.

Is AQUA-SLYDE a ceramic coating?

No. It is an SiO₂ spray sealant. There is no panel wipe, leveling or cure window. VITRIFY MAX is our only spray coating.

Can AQUA-SLYDE go over a coating?

Yes. It works as a topper over an existing coating or sealant on a clean, dry surface.

AQUA-SLYDE, Katch 22 or Unicorn Dust?

All three are spray sealants. Katch 22 and Unicorn Dust are SiC-infused. AQUA-SLYDE is the SiO₂ option and the easy entry point. For a spray coating, use VITRIFY MAX.

What surfaces can I use AQUA-SLYDE on?

Paint, glass and exterior trim. Apply it to a clean, dry, cool surface in the shade.

What towel do I buff AQUA-SLYDE with?

A clean face of The Swiss 16×16 350 GSM buffing towel. Keep your drying towel for drying.

Is AQUA-SLYDE the same as Dual Action 2.0?

It replaces it. AQUA-SLYDE is the new formula of our SiO₂ spray sealant, on the same page under a new name. Reviews dated before October 2026 were written for Dual Action 2.0.

Is it AQUA-SLYDE or Aqua Slide?

Same product. The name is spelled AQUA-SLYDE.

Does AQUA-SLYDE come with a sprayer?

No. Ships with a cap. Sprayer not included. Add your own trigger sprayer.

Why does the gallon cost extra to ship?

Gallon shipping is a sliding scale based on weight. Shipping has gotten expensive lately, and we do our best, but we can't cover all of it and stay in business. Gallon shipping is charged on every order, even orders over $100.

When does the gallon ship?

The gallon is on pre-order. Pre-order price $69.99 through Tuesday, Nov 3, or until the batch is gone. Goes to $89.99 on Nov 4. All gallon pre-orders ship Wednesday, Nov 4.

    Incredible value

    Posted by Doug C. on 29th Jan 2026

    $20 for a spray sealant that outperforms products costing $30-40? Easy decision. I've been using this for 4 months and one bottle is still going strong. The protection lasts, the gloss is great, and the price is right.

    Replaced three products in my routine

    Posted by Heather N. on 2nd Jan 2026

    I used to use a separate drying aid, spray sealant, and detail spray. DA 2.0 does all three jobs. Simplified my process and saved me money. My results are actually better now with just this one product.

    Water beading is crazy

    Posted by Vincent T. on 28th Dec 2025

    After applying DA 2.0, the water beading on my truck is insane. Every time it rains, my truck looks like it was just waxed. The SiO2 formula really works. I've tried a lot of spray sealants and this one has the best water behavior I've seen at this price.

    Keeps my coating topped off

    Posted by Ashley R. on 27th Dec 2025

    I have a ceramic coating on my car and use DA 2.0 as a maintenance spray every wash. It keeps the hydrophobic properties strong and adds a layer of SiO2 on top of my existing coating. Perfect maintenance product.

    Fast shipping and great product

    Posted by Priya S. on 23rd Dec 2025

    Ordered on a Tuesday and had it by Thursday. Used it that weekend on my Mazda CX-5. The finish is smooth, glossy, and the beading started immediately. Very happy with both the product and the service.

    Works great on glass too

    Posted by Justin W. on 25th Nov 2025

    Started using this on my windshield and side windows. The water repellency is amazing in the rain — barely need my wipers. Didn't expect a spray sealant to work this well on glass but here we are.

    My mobile detail secret weapon

    Posted by Ron E. on 23rd Nov 2025

    I use DA 2.0 on every car I detail as a final step. Quick to apply, clients love the results, and it's affordable enough to use on every job without eating into my margins. It's become essential to my business.

    So easy to use

    Posted by Stephanie L. on 17th Oct 2025

    I'm not a professional detailer, just someone who likes a clean car. This product makes me look like a pro. Spray, wipe, done. My Honda looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Even my dad was impressed and he's impossible to impress.

    Professional results

    Posted by Kendra J. on 3rd Sep 2025

    I'm a detailer and I use this on every vehicle that comes through my shop. Clients always comment on how good their trim looks. It's become a standard part of my detail package and it's worth every penny for the results it delivers.
