What's your favorite drying aid?

[BlackHawk]

I'm looking into trying out a product to use a as a drying aid and I'm curious what you guys use :) I myself have a little v7 left and UWWC that I use occasionally but I'm looking for something else to try out.

[KneeDragr]

I like Griots spray wax. Ive got some V7 to try soon though.

I currently use D155 Last Touch and it seems to be working real well for me with great results.

Flat out...nothing comes close....AMMO Hydrate.

Flat out...nothing comes close....AMMO Hydrate.

So what exactly is Hydrate, a QD? I assume so because he mentioned Spit as. spray wax.

The urge to buy it recently has been ridiculous haha but the price is a little high :/

I use D156 and works well for me

Im currently using ONR as QD. Im also interested to know what other better products are out there.

While listing drying aids, could you also specify if it offers any added protection? For example, Griot's Spray Wax and UWWW+ do. Normally these additives are welcome, but not when doing a long term side-by-side wax comparison where these additives could interfere with the result.

How does spraying/misting a product...(that's usually ~85-95% water by composition)...
upon a vehicle's surfaces (or the drying-towels?) act as a: "drying aid"? :confused:

NOTE to Self:
Apparently...
-I'm in the need of upgrading my understanding of a sorbent-system
................along with a revised definition of desiccants................
-At least, to the point as they are now, being applied to certain detailing processes.

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:

[BlackHawk]

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

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.
