    MEGS D156 As drying aid

    Meguiars Synthetic X-press Spray Wax, X-press car wax, Meguiars X-press spray liquid wax, D156

    Over the years I have read very many positive reviews and comments on D156. Well thinking of ordering up the gallon come spring. Looking for a more economical drying aid. I think this fits the bill. Good as a drying aid?

    Yes.

    Note:
    Since it’s a “Wax”, it’ll leave some
    Protection behind. And some gloss.

    With that in mind:
    You’ll need to decide if those factors may,
    or may not, create any issues if you are
    not wanting the vehicles’ current LSPs’
    characteristics to be affected—one way
    or t’other—by those of D156.

    I really like D156, I’ve used it as a drying aid. If you really want to go economical on a drying aid you should look into Wolfgang Uber rinseless wash at Detail spray ratio. I don’t normally use drying aids, but Uber does add nice gloss and slickness.

    Agreed. I similarly use UWW+ as my drying aid. It's much more economical. I don't like the idea of "watering down" my D156. Seems like it wouldn't be as effective. UWW+ achieves the same purpose, but I don't feel bad spraying it onto a wet car.

    I prefer using D156 on a dry car to get both the best protection and my money's worth.

    It does work well as a drying aid. Optimum Car Wax does as well. Meguirs is probably a bit less expensive. Optimum probably offers more substantial protection. Both work great though.

    D156 and Uber Rinseless (3oz. per gallon) are the slickest drying aids I've used. Slickness is generally what I look for first in a drying aid.

    I prefer using Optimum Car Wax on dry paint since it's not nearly as slick as D156.
