DG AquaWax as drying aid for ceramic coating

[jmorlan]

I’ve noticed that switching up LSP types lets me realize the appeal of each. When I use traditional sealant after using ceramic sprays for a season, it looks amazing and wet. Then I use carnauba the next season and I’m blown away by the richness of color. Then I put ceramic spray back on my other car and I’m amazed at the glassy look.

These are part of what makes me continually touch my vehicles’ paints.

Agree 100%

Both of my cars are ceramic coated with Modesta BC-05, I've been told by the detailer that installed them to only use Modesta M-2 Blast to top them and got great results. The M-2 gave incredible gloss and slickness. When the M-2 ran out I decided to experiment with other toppers (M-2 is expensive btw). Beadmaker has given me great results in terms of gloss and slickness that produced contaminant repelling similar to the bare coating. Kamikaze Overcoat also produced great results (expensive though). What's worked out best for me was Meguiar's HCW - gloss/slickness comparable to Beadmaker and M-2 and it's incredibly easy to use and it's cheap. I still have two bottles of Aquawax that I'll start using based on the results you guys have had. Prior to ceramic coatings coming out my go-to LSP was two coats of Klasse SG topped with S100 and maintained by Aquawax after each wash.

I would use ech02 rinseless as a drying aid before I would use AW. I own both, and love aqua wax for putting over a conventional product. But I’m a believer of si02 over si02..
