    Drying Aids

    Hello, Just wondering about using a drying aid. I have used Aquawax and Megs D156 with great results

    but......should I be getting these products on my "good" drying towels ? Are they going to effect the drying ability of my
    Guzzler Waffle Weave Drying Towels ?

    Or should I just be using microfiber towels ?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I picked up some pinnacle micro rejuvenator on BOGO a while back. It seams to remove any wax that has accumulated in my drying towels.

    I use D156 most of the time as well and have never seen a problem.

    I don't use a Cobra guzzler, but have a handful of different drying towels--both waffle weave and longer pile.

    Not having an issue while using Tide Free and clear, MicroRestore and Vinegar.

    I have used Poorboy's Spray and Wipe and just use normal drying towels.

    I doubt that the waxes will hurt your towels!

    When I first started it was MF Waffleweave Towels only.
    Then went to Leaf Blower + 1 Towel for years
    Only recently did I start using a bit of detail spray as a drying aid.
    Does seem to help glide the towel against the paint + absorb.

    Duragloss Aquaxwax seems to be a reasonably priced spray and the finish left is great.

    So spray a quick wax/detail while the car is wet after a wash makes it easier to dry?

    It can increase safety (risk of marring) even on a supposedly clean surface/ It can make it look better especially if you have problems with water spots. etc. plus add protection with the right detailers. If applying a spray wax, I would keep these separate from glass towels.
