Super slick QD/drying aid?

[evo77]

It's supposed to be applied to a wet surface.

Yup, use it as a drying aid in r out of the sun. It's called "AquaWax" but the ingredients are all synthetic. The gloss it leaves is just insane!

I used gallons of the stuff back in the day..addicted to the smell. Oh, try it on your door jams. It dries clear so if you can't reach some areas, it will not haze.

Ahh ok gotcha, cool. The directions on DGs website and AG's website don't specifically mention that it can be applied to wet surface. Thanks!

Yes, the descriptions are a little vague. I just grabbed my bottle to look at the directions. Read as follows:

1. SHAKE WELL

2.Wash vehicle and rinse. Do not dry.

3. Spray Aquawax to one section at a time, then wipe
dry with a soft cloth......

Surface should be cool for best results.

NOTE: DURAGLOSS AW can also be be applied to a dry surface one

section at a time and buffed to a durable, high gloss shine.

if you pick up the DG rinseless wash w/ aquawax, dilute it 10:1 (14.5 oz's of water to 1.5 oz's of product in a 16 oz. bottle). since doing so i don't bother buying aquawax anymore, it works just as well...

....Until Griots comes up with a replacement.

Agree the DG's site it not good. They desperately need some marketing help.

AW is great and on sale is about the lowest cost premixed product I've found. I also like the DG Rinseless mixed as QD. However, for slickness and initial gloss, I'm partial to the Ech2o + Reload QD. More expensive and doesn't last as long. But looks amazing dark colors.

The DG rinseless mixed as a QD is better than Aquawax,and their FCS detail spray which is really saying something. Cannot be beat for the price. Very robust detailer!

Does it look good on black? Never used duragloss, but I have always wanted to try.

I don't see any real difference between sealants on black. When I had a black 4Runner I used Aquawax all the time and it looked great. I suspect this looks about the same.

I'm using up the last of my WFG Uber in QD dilution for my QD/drying aid. And while it does add a bit of slickness to the paint and great gloss, I'm curious if there is anything else that might offer a little bit more of both? I've used Megs UQW before, which I know is D156, and while this too is good stuff I don't remember being blown away by a high slick feel.

I really like that "freshly waxed" super slick feeling and I'd like to continue to feel that as I'm drying off the car after a maintenance wash.

Something that works well when applied to wet paint and sun friendly. Any recommendations?

Finish kare 425 was always a pleasure to work with.

Duragloss Aquawax
Optimum Opti-Seal
Optimum Car Wax

Those all have worked great for me in that application.
