What I have observed is that it evaporates faster than water.

OK so a better term would be anti-scratch while towel drying aid :xyxthumbs:
Re: What's your favorite drying aid?
I just want to find a product i can use while drying that will not leave streaks all over my car. Ive tried using different methods, but theres always streaks present on my car when i pull it into my garage to inspect it. Granted its not a huge issue, im more concerned about water spots than anything, but its still something that ends up being more time for me to fix.
FYI my car is black obviously lol

Re: What's your favorite drying aid?
I have a black car as well and D156 works well for me.
Since I do rinseless, I go by panel by panel.
I used a wringed out MF to get the heavy water off. Then I do couple of sprays of D156 on a dry MF towel to wipe and buff off the residue with another dry MF towel.
Re: What's your favorite drying aid?
I use Aqua Wax and no streaking with a variety of paint colors. One is Driftwood that looks silvery except when the sun is at the right angle those panels look more like copper, Desert Sand is another, Twilight Blue, and last is white.
