DD is coated with Finest. Garage Queen UK.

Curious. What would you use as drying aids over them. Overlapping products I suppose.
Currently have Reload, Hydro2 in stash. I've cut these accordingly as drying aids.
With Ech2o, another product I suppose one can use.
 
I use an air dryer on most occasions. With that said if I do use a drying towel, I used UWW as the aid but now use Echo2.

UWWP - still slowly using my concentrate.

I'm not a huge fan of the reload.....but when it works, I do like the slickness it puts ontop.

Yep the UWwP is the way to go. RELOAD is a stand alone sealant. Using it as drying aid is something I don't do. When you're done drying you can apply RELOAD as directed on the bottle.

I've cut Reload 1:1 to use as a drying add / add slickness - and the reason I've cut it is...no matter how much I've tried 50 million ways, I just can't avoid the holograms, and streaking I get with this. Pre spray on towel and then wipe seems to be the best way, but bleh, I'm not really a fan and I've got 1 big L.

Love my Hydro2 though. Get's in all the nooks and crannies like the wheels and stuff.

If ya'll are comparing Ech2o to UWWP, then I'm going to have to try this as UWWP is 1 product that certainly has not disappointed as a WAUD aid (I don't do waterless washes)
 
I had problems with one version of RELOAD, 2014. Then it was reformulated and I've been fine ever since.

The new Echo 2 is good stuff. I even did a rinseless wash with it. I really like UWWP but definitely give Echo 2 a try...;)

I have grey hair and lost hair from 2014 lol
 
OK, I'll fess up...With the Carpro announcement of Essence Plus and ECH2o my main interest was in Essence Plus.
Well I ordered both and I thought to myself "I don't do a waterless wash but maybe It'll work as a Quick Detailer?"
I made a mixture with 2oz of ECH2o 10:1 in a 24oz bottle. That gave me 22oz. Then I added 2oz of the new Reload.
That pretty much filled my 24oz bottle. (I won't tell where I got this recipe from) but I call it "Merlin's Magic Elixir"!!!

The first thing I did was pour some into a 16oz bottle and I now keep it in my passenger door cup holder. I love it!!
It works as a QD, a drying aid and it adds a little gloss. It is so easy to use, I now walk around looking for smudges.

Side Note:
I had a client stop by that was in a panic. He parked under a tree and the "tree spots" on his hood would not come off.
You know the drill...Did it etch into the coating? Did it etch through the coating into the clear coat? Does it need paint?
He was worried! I applied CQF about 6 months ago. A little CP Spotless on a BOA & "Merlin's Elixir"...All gone & done!
I handed him a (4 oz.) Spray Bottle with Spotless, a 12oz bottle of "Merlin's Elixir" and a BOA Towel. He's a happy man!
 
OT, but I've been thinking about switching up the bird bomb bottles in the car.
Maybe a sealed cap with the sprayer head next to it...murphys law is the sprayer head goes missing.

In the hot summers, any of ya'll find the stuff evap. if you have a typical 6 oz bottle with spray head

BTW, which product would you say leaves a slicker feel or both as =
Reload or Hydro2
