    Re: Drying Aids

    Just to continue the majority, I spray on the paint with AW. Wipe with one WW then buff with a dry WW.

    Re: Drying Aids

    I spray directly on the paint while the car is semi wet. It makes for a wonderful effect as the droplets of water flatten out once AW hits it

    I use AMMO Hydrate as instructed. I wring out a wet towel and so spray a mist of Hydrate on the towel. I follow up with a dry towel. I use Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy.

    How wet is the paint when you do this? Do you typically first
    sheet the paint by removing the fire hose nozzle from the garden
    hose to remove a lot of the water? .

    Always sheet the paint before drying regardless of drying methods.

    Re: Drying Aids

    I have been using a lot of Reload lately which I especially love as a drying aid. I spray it onto a MF towel, wipe it over the panel to remove 99% of the water, and wipe away any streaks with a second dry MF.

    Re: Drying Aids

    I mist spray Megs Ultimate Detailer onto a waffle weave mf towel and wipe the car which has a little water on it after sheeting the car with water. Works great. I do not have to use a drying towel afterwards, no streaks no big drops of detaier solution on the car. The megs bottle does a fairly good (not perfect) job of spaying a mist and not drops.
