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

3D Bead-It-Up for me.

Very easy to apply/remove even in direct sunlight. Descent durability.
 
NV Nova Boost or CarPro ECH20 at 1:20-25.

I'd like to try Koch Chemie FSE at some point but I have Labocosmetica Purifica for when I need to deal with mineral build up on coatings every couple of months (if need be).

For me a drying aid should not add any additional protection that could mask the hydrophobics of my coating. A little bit of extra gloss and/or slickness is all I'm looking for.
 
CarPro ECH20. I don't often need a drying aid or post-wash wipe-down product, but the few times I do, ECH20 is my go-to without question.
 
Turtle Wax Wax & Dry. I'm blown away by how much gloss it adds every time I use it and how inexpensive it is. Plays very well with Optimum no rinse. Also, doesn't tend to attract dust like some other drying aids can do.
 
With waxes, I usually use Optimum Spray Wax. With sealants, Bead Maker more often than not. When those run out, not sure what I will use.
 
P&S Beadmaker
Stjarnagloss Glatt

Really want to try Ech2O this way, but im wondering how finicky it will be. I always find it a bit tricky as a rinseless
 
I've been using the TWHSWW here lately and I like it a lot.

My usual go to is Poorboy's spray and gloss

FSE is nice for removing couple day old waterspots if you catch them. Didn’t love it as drying aid… wasn’t bad… just not great.

I like any of the ceramic detailers I’ve used. Ech20 falls in this category. I like Griots Ceramic Speedshine and Mecd CQD better but not enough to trump Ech20’s cost benefit.

Cosmic and Kami OC work great for monthly topping up.

For me though best by far is Ammo Hydrate. Doesn’t leave a lot of protection but only product to me that makes drying “feel” different.

I need to check out some new products cuz I'm still using Aquawax.
 
Usually use ECH20 or Ceramic Speed Shine, but just got a bottle of AMMO Hydrate and really enjoying it so far.

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.
