Drying aid to go w/ PBL coating (not PBL QD)

[creaky]

Just coated the wife's car with PBL paint coating. Wondering what you all use for drying aids with this coating. I honestly can't justify the cost of the PBL QD. Thanks.

Any QD should work, but if you have a coating, compressed air is really the way to go.

Not sure what you mean by compressed air - do you mean blowing dry with a leaf blower, etc.?

I would imagine Meguiars D-114 would fair well since it doesn't leave anything behind.

Yeah or a master blaster.

OK, got it.

A waterless wash as a drying aid? Interesting.

Is the worry that leaving something behind will damage the coating? If its ceramic I cant see anything thats friendly to paint affecting it in a negative way. Its going to be a lot harder and a lot more chemically resistant than paint.

Not so worries about anything hurting it, really, just looking for something that will play nice w/ PBL and not hinder any future applications of PBL booster.

Doesn't the PBL Booster cost ~$10.00 more than the PBL QD?

Absolutely, specifically, Adams or Poorboys; they contain no gloss enhancers or wax, so they won't leave anything behind. I like Adams better as a drying aid.

Yes, but weekly washes requiring a drying aid add up much faster than the booster, which I plan on using intermittently, maybe every few weeks.

D114 is a good choice.


Adam's Waterless Wash.

This is another good choice.

Like others have said, none of these leave anything behind.

You could also try PoorBoys Spray & Wipe
