    Quick Poll - Do you use a drying aid or drying agent after rinsing?

    Sorry, messed up adding the poll.

    I was interested about do or don't, what type of drying aid or drying agent if you do.

    I do. Was looking for something a bit more economical, so went this route. Mixed up my first bottle today. Did not use it yet, but looking forward to the results.

    I always do. Usually just a detail spray, or sonax bsd on the coated cars, but I recently picked up a bottle of Poorboy's spray and gloss and I absolutely love it as a drying aid. It's super slick and leaves a great shine. Works great on the coated cars too.

    Never.. use the flood method when rinsing over a coated paint.

    Not me; not on my vehicles!

    I don’t want a bunch of dissimilar
    hydrophobes attaching themselves
    to the LSP, and other final-products,
    that I have previously applied to the
    various surfaces of the vehicles.

    Depends what I am doing after the wash.

    If I am applying a sealant or polishing the paint, then no.

    If I don't do anything after the wash, I will use some sort of spray wax as a drying aid. In the past years I was using D156 Xpress Quick Spray Wax. I am about to run out and I purchased D155 Final Touch as a replacement. Hope I like it. I have also mixed Ech2O and Reload 20:1 each with distilled water as a drying aid for coated paint. Have not used it yet.

    Yes. QD within same brand of the LSP, or spray wax within same brand of LSP (where applicable as a drying aid), or just D156 or AquaWax where I don’t have a brand specific spray wax and I want that extra boost. If I really love the LSP, I will not use the spray waxes as drying aids until I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the LSP by itself first.

    Re: Quick Poll - Do you use a drying aid or drying agent after rinsing?

    I always use wolfgang uber (3oz. per gallon) as my drying aid for maintenance washes

    If I'm doing paint correction I use N-914 or D114 (1oz. per gallon)

    N-914 and D114 don't offer much lubrication or slickness compared to other drying aids, but using them does seem to marginally improve the towel grab compared to using nothing.
