Cracking drying aid.

If your car already has a good layer of wax on it, instead of drying it just put some of this diluted with water in a watering can over the car. Causes all the water to bead off leaving a spot free finish. It's not as good as they say but it has it's place in my detailing collection.

Better off to pour it out of a jug or watering can. It has water softners to get rid of all the calcium etc that causes water spots.
Rinse the car down with it after you washed the car and it does bring it up pretty well, excellent if the car has a good layer of protection on it too!

Definatley worth the £2.

Would just dry the car very well :lol:

It's a good product on it's own. but an awesome product on a car with good wax on it.

Of course a proper car detailer wouldn't rinse his car off with 'water' rather he would use Reverse Osmosis water for that streak-free finish :cheesy:

I looked at buying an RO set up for my garage and it wasn't as expensive as I expected :o

Ours was fifty grand about a dozen years back. :shock:
Mind you it produces about 5 tonnes an hour and the R/O plus softener would more or less fill even a Volvo owner's garage.....

I know of a local cleaning company that invested in one for rinsing windows on commercial premises, only to find rainwater worked much better, so he 'upgraded' to half a dozen water butts. :roll:
