    Same here. PFMs work wonderfully!
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Topper offers great gloss, slickness, and a very pleasant scent. It is a pleasure to use and work with and it gives a boost of ceramic protection. I also think it is a good value. You can buy a gallon of the stuff for under $40.
    You can get Adams slick and slide. It’s the same product and always on sale. Same as the obsessed garage drying aid as well.

    That’s boring Drying Aid.

    On a serious note they are great towels.

    My favorite has been Glassparency Boost. Pretty stout for a drying aid/topper so it seems to have a higher concentration of SiO2 than many other products I’ve tried.

    Re: Drying Aid

    This is one of my favorite products to choose at each wash. I can't pick just one, so I have a list that get frequent use -

    P&S Bead Maker - hard to beat for gloss, slickness and scent. Longevity and dusting have never bothered me.

    P&S Paint Gloss - similar to Bead Maker but without the "protection".

    Obsessed Garage Drying Aid / Adam's Slick and Slide - easy to use, great gloss, great slickness. The Adam's smells divine.

    Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer - super easy to use, easily one of their best products.

    NV Boost v2 - Similar to Megs HCD, just without the ye-olde-world car polish scent.

    ech20 cut 1:20 is probably one of your best bang for the buck. You can use any rinse less actually for a drying aid. Not sure what dilution i would use with something like P&S absolute or DIY.

    Yep. This is me too. With a coating, I can do a flood rinse on a vehicle and the car is almost totally dry. I just go over it lightly with a towel to dry the horizontal surfaces where water can't run off easily and dab up the few drops/dribbles that didn't sheet off in the flood rinse.

    This. On really hot or windy days I'll go over the car with Ech2o to clean up any random water spots, but that's about as close as I get to a "drying aid". It's more like a "post-wash water spot hunt".

    Leaves really good gloss behind too. I was impressed by that alone.

    Of interest to me is the TW Wet Wax, Adam's Slick and Slide and Adam's Graphene Boost.

    Re: Drying Aid

    according to Adam's web site, Slick and slide should not be used as a drying aid? Has that changed?

    They drying aid they do recommend is $80 a gallon. SnS is $40. Pretty sure that has nothing to do with it.

    Think [mention]The Guz [/mention] tried it and OG drying aid. He says there the same after trying I’m good with that.
