Using RTU Waterless Wash as a drying aid?


cammyfive

Question

Through some horse trading and good sales here, I've acquired almost two full gallons of AP Waterless Wash.  Now I've read the differences between using Rinseless Wash diluted vs using RTU Waterless Wash but am interested in a less conventional use:  spraying WW liberally a car that has just had the final rinse after a 2 bucket wash.  I know a lot of your guys/gals do that with Detail Spray but I'm curious if WW would essentially do the same thing, albeit without some gloss enhancement built in (which I'm ok with).  Anyone do this or have some thoughts on the idea?

I have almost four gallons of Waterless Wash right now and that's how I've been using it and I haven't noticed any issues with it. I'll even just rinse down the car and perform a waterless wash right after if it isn't too dirty.

Yes you can and a couple years ago when I was looking for uses for a gallon of RTU Waterless I did use it as a drying aid.

 

It works fine and just as well as Detail Spray, has more lubrication than DS as a drying aid, so on soft paints might be beneficial.  You just wont get the added "gloss effect" with it.

 

You can also use it as clay lube if you choose.  I stopped buying the RTU Waterless but there are many uses for it.  Try using it as an interior wipedown product and a glass cleaner :)

If all you want from a drying aid is to get a streak/spot free finish then it will work great.  You should be able to minimize drying induced marring by blow drying the majority of water with a master blaster or similar and then finish dry leftover spots with your RTU WW.

 

I do this method now with Detail Spray and once my HGG gets in I will be using that to finish.
