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

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.

Anyone had a chance to try / done any reading on Hydrate Pro?

My only pause with Hydrate was I thought it affected the water behavior of whatever I had on the car at the time; but admittedly I don't think I had a solid foundation on the car at the time, and had too many things I wanted to try. Made it as far as doing a huge test layout on the roof, but lost track of keeping up and monitoring it.

DIY Ceramic Gloss, took over for Optiseal.

DIY Ceramic Gloss does not get the type of durability of Optiseal does it?

Yes, it took a few times to get used to it, but I'm kind of enjoying it. I've admittedly only used it on a car with Collinite 845 so it's already pretty slick after RW.

I blow dry and then Sonax BSD. I don't use drying aids.

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

The ceramic or OG hydrate?

Are you blow drying car 1st? If so hydrate not the product for that situation. Believe it so thick that it’s like that to have the water dilute it down some while drying.

Ahhh, gotcha. I might try it without the blower first.

Wouldn't BSD serve as a good drying aid? My understanding is it is thick and can be diluted ... seems like spraying on a wet vehicle should work.
