What product do you use as a drying aid after maintenance washes?

TEC 582 or Xtreme Solutions Topper.

DIY Ceramic Gloss, took over for Optiseal.

3D Bead it Up

The TWHSWW is also very nice

NV Nova Boost or CarPro ECH20 at 1:20-25.

I'd like to try Koch Chemie FSE at some point but I have Labocosmetica Purifica for when I need to deal with mineral build up on coatings every couple of months (if need be).

For me a drying aid should not add any additional protection that could mask the hydrophobics of my coating. A little bit of extra gloss and/or slickness is all I'm looking for.

FSE is nice for removing couple day old waterspots if you catch them. Didn’t love it as drying aid… wasn’t bad… just not great.

I like any of the ceramic detailers I’ve used. Ech20 falls in this category. I like Griots Ceramic Speedshine and Mecd CQD better but not enough to trump Ech20’s cost benefit.

Cosmic and Kami OC work great for monthly topping up.

For me though best by far is Ammo Hydrate. Doesn’t leave a lot of protection but only product to me that makes drying “feel” different.

Actually that’s still very good. Reminds me I need to get more again!

Usually use ECH20 or Ceramic Speed Shine, but just got a bottle of AMMO Hydrate and really enjoying it so far.

I struggled to get my head around the thickness of Hydrate. It's a nice product, just a different way of using a Drying Aid.
