Spray on Vehicle Drying Aide

[jetman624]

I have a full size truck and it is tough to dry the whole thing without getting some water spots. What is a good product that I can spray on during the drying phase to help keep the water spots at bay, but also not take off any of my Collinite 476? And that is the key-- obviously there are a lot of things I could spray on there to take the water spots off, but I want something that won't interfere with the wax.

Would some diluted D114 do the trick? What should it be diluted to?

Is there something better?

Would Poorboy’s QD+ be ok for this?

Any quick Detailer should do the trick even some Meguiars d156 would work.

Just commented on this in the "Things that make you go wow" thread. I'm a huge fan of CG V7. Has dressed up anything I've put it over. True the longevity is a couple of weeks, perhaps more, depending on weather and driving distances & habits, but I wash my and my wife's care weekly. V7 is hydrophobic and keeps every day contaminants at bay. Try it, V7 rocks. Take care.

Peace,

D156 works great for me....also you can't beat the price for a gallon.

I think any quick detailer will work fine. I have used XMT final finish to do exactly as you describe and it does exactly what you are looking for it to do as an aid in the drying process. I think any good quick detailer would do the same job.

•IMO:
-Yes

•As to affecting the LSP's characteristics...D114:
-"doesn't add nothing"
-"takes nothing away"...

What should it be diluted to?

I'll suggest to start out with D114 @1:256.

If that ratio doesn't meet with your expectations...
Strengthen the ratio to either:
• 1:192; or:
• 1:128

I will say most QDs will do, some are even made with that in mind, but not all are ideal drying aids. Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer comes to mind.
