0 flyboy9994 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 OK Great. Really appreciate all the replies. I definitely plan on using H20 G & G on a monthly basis as a booster. I've never used a quick detailer in the past (always thought it was for show cars). I used Adams quick detailer the other day and I am in love with the stuff. Will be using it to dry my car from now on in between H2O applications. Awesome! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 blcksilv08 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yes, I do it all the time, helps prevent water spotting. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 pirahnah3 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have used it when drying in the past to help prevent water spots especially if I am just doing a quick wash and wax on a mostly clean truck. I dont bother if I am using H20 in the colder months when I cant detail as much. flyboy9994 and BluedogGMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont bother if I am using H20 in the colder months when I cant detail as much. Same here, If I am not using H2O I always use Detail spray before drying. As soon as I stop rinsing and doing a run off with the hose I spray the whole truck with Detail spray to stop water spots. It neutralizes the water to help prevent the spots plus it seems to help shed water off of the paint.

0 Torch Red Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yay for me too, use it when drying Rinseless wash panel by panel. Funny thing is I haven't used Detail Spray on a dry car yet. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Always a lubricating agent when drying will help reduce likelihood of wash induced scratching. If you watch Larry Kosilla's videos he says in his detailing experience most marring introduced in paint is from poor drying technique with lack of lubrication on the surface. Detail Spray, diluted Rinseless, or even Waterless Wash are all great drying agents because they are adding lubrication to the panel as you are drying. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ccommodari Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 A yay for me as well. I usually apply H20 Guard and Gloss every month and usually wash our cars once or twice a week. Whenever its not the beginning of the month I spray detail spray all over the car and as said above, it make drying 100 times easier. Not only does it make drying easier but it also prevent water spots and mainly it helps leave lest streaking while wiping the water off the car. Touching on a point ricky bobby said, lubrication is key so not only are you making drying easier but you are also SAFELY drying the car. Overall, this method is effective and is 110% guaranteed like the Adams Polishes Car Care line flyboy9994 and Ricky Bobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My go to product on a wet car, unless it is H2O time. It stops water spots cold if you don't have a blower. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CMDChase Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Never dry a vehicle without it LT1xL82, flyboy9994 and Dan@Adams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Like many others in here, if I'm drying a vehicle and I'm not applying H2O Guard & Gloss or using the Master Blaster on that particular wash, I will mist Detail Spray around the vehicle every time I dry. You don't even need to use a bunch of product, but the extra lubrication does aid in drying and add an extra step of safety at reducing the chance of drying-induced swirl marks flyboy9994 and LT1xL82 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PHOKUS Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Always use some sort of lubrication when anything is in contact with the paint. Water just isn't enough. Detail Spray misted onto a wet car for maintenance washes is perfect. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree with the others, I always spray DS on a wet car before drying. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lljimll Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 never tried it, but I will now flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 never tried it, but I will nowOnce you try it you will never go back, notice how much slicker your paint is and how your Great White drying towel has zero drag, which means less chance of scratching.

0 rrmccabe Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So would the H20 Guard and Gloss have any lubricity to do similar? flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Beemer Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So would the H20 Guard and Gloss have any lubricity to do similar? That is what H2OG&G is designed to do. Check out the videos! flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rrmccabe Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 That is what H2OG&G is designed to do. Check out the videos! I have only seen one video. I watched it a couple times and dont remember seeing anything about lubricity. Just that it was a water activated protectant. Probably kind of expensive to use an an every time product to keep from scratching your surface anyway. flyboy9994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 H2O Guard & Gloss is slightly different than Detail Spray in that you're spreading it across the surface with a wet plush microfiber towel as it activates with the water. It will then haze up and you buff it dry with a dry microfiber towel. It's not needed every wash and that would be wasting a more expensive product than Detail Spray. I will use H2O Guard & Gloss every 4 or 5 washes or 2-3 months, to keep outstanding shine and protection onto my daily driver flyboy9994, blcksilv08 and rrmccabe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Dan is correct and yes you aren't adding lubricity when you dry with HGG, but you are applying a sealant. Your maintenance washes should be dried with Detail Spray or a lubricating agent. If you want to "kick it up a notch" when applying HGG, after you apply it with your application towel, when you go back over it to get any remaining residues with your dry towel, spray a mist of DS on your towel and or the panel to get an awesome, streak free shine and an awesomely safe way to seal and shine in one step. blcksilv08 and flyboy9994 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome idea! I did this when I removed Buttery Wax and it worked really well. Definitely going to try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
