I have been using griots quick spray wax as a drying aid after washes and it does a great job at that but can't help but wonder if there's something that will give my cars a 'slicker' 'wetter' look without adding another post drying step to the process?

Thanks

I recently started using Meguiars D156 and so far I love it! It is similar to Ultimate Quik Wax from the consumer line.
 
Ultima wash and wax - can be used as a qd, waterless wash and drying aide. great value for the money. produces a super slick and glossy finish
 
•IMO:
-Meguiar's Last Touch (D155) will
leave behind a very wet look.

-And (as if that isn't enough)...An
added bonus: D155 also has quite
the long-lasting polymeric-slickness.

Griots spray wax is a very good product, wet or dry without a doubt. If your looking for something else to try, without a doubt, its Duragloss' Aquawax. I've been using this product for years and years, always have some in my collection and it flat out works, a true spray wax that can be used wet or dry, it doesn't matter because it leaves the paint slick and looking good but the thing with AW is this, come out and look at your paint 30 minutes later, something happens and it POPS even more, strange but true thing about it:xyxthumbs:

I can't say enough about AW, a forum favorite for years and years!

What he said. DG FCS is very good also. The DG rinseless mixed as a QD is great also.

Hydro leaves a softer/warmer shine compared to Aquawax & D156's plastic/synthetic gloss.

For those that enjoy the convenience of a spray on product, but preferred more depth, Hydro might just be the ticket.

I think BrutalNoodle has the description of Hydro correct. I've used a lot of spray waxes, but have not tried D156 so I can't really provide any insight.

I've found Hydro to last longer than Aquawax, and it really does get better after 24 hours.

FK 425 is a great product too and works great as a drying aid, but I would have to give Hydro my vote .
 
It's on the expensive side, but can't go wrong with WG Spritz Sealant. Best Jim Carrey voice: "Ahh, Like it Alot!"

Love this stuff too. Almost impossible to get it to streak, requires almost no buffing and repels dust pretty well.
 
Sonax BSD or their rapid wax. Amazing looks and top quality water behaviour. Priced nicely too for a big bottle.

Wow. I appreciate all the input! Looks like aquawax and D156 have had multiple +1's but still very little consensus. I do like my griots spray wax but whenever I see pictures on here (and sometimes cars in real life) I can't help but wonder how they achieve that wet paint look. I've had my truck polished by a very high end/reputable shop topped with a ceramic (forget which one). Also had the hood and fenders wrapped 100% with expel so I can always spritz them and shine them up without worry of scratching.
