Of these 5 choices, which ceramic drying aid / topper would you choose?

I forgot about Megs HCD. That product can bead with the best of them.

HCD really surprised me, very easy to use.

I would throw Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer into the mix as well.

Hello,

Is it possible to tell which product you use that is under a different name then topper? I have used topper with great results and am curious what the product is. I also like wet wax and dream maker.

As far as I know Adams Slick n Slide and Obsessed Garage Drying Aid are the same product as Topper (just different dyes and scents).

I'm sure there are many others.

I would still use XS Topper if I were you. I really enjoyed using it. Probably at or near the top of my list for best slickness and gloss.

Another vote for Meguiar's hybrid ceramic detailer. Easy to use, leaves a glossy smooth finish, and you can pick it up at your local auto parts store!

I like Megs HCD too. Not as slick as others but its enjoyable to use.

A little pricey if you ask me but hopefully there will be a sale again on it this fall so I can pick up a few more bottles. Last year in November, the local Walmart to me had the HCD and the Liquid HCW for FIVE BUCKS each! It was insane! I should have bought more than just two bottles.

I saw a video online where the Obsessed Garage guy said he loved Topper but was concerned about the dye staining paint on light colored cars. So he went to the company that makes Topper for Xtreme Solutions and had them make a version that is nearly identical but without the dyes and scent.

Personally, I don't think Topper stains paint. I think the OG guy removed a part on a car and found some Topper that dripped behind it.

It’s been a while since I used it. 3 years or so. I recall it being a good performer for the money. Seems to be chemical resistant especially at its price point.
