For those of us with hard water, washing and drying a car without getting water spots can be quite the task. \u00a0People use many different products as drying aides, from quick detailers to spray waxes. \u00a0I have always used a\u00a0quick detailer,\u00a0which has worked quite well for me. \u00a0I was optimistic when I saw\u00a0Chemical Guys After Wash<\/a>\u00a0would be any\u00a0different than what I normally use. \u00a0I was pleasantly surprised just how well the product worked, which has me second guessing my decision of\u00a0using a quick detailer.<\/p>\n

Product Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chemical Guys After Wash is an advanced paintwork optical gloss enhancer and moisturizer designed to aid the drying process. The innovative paintwork drying aid provides lubrication when drying any vehicle. After Wash is used after you wash your car to create a streak-free shine when drying the surface. Hydrophobic drying technology aids in drying any surface using a premium microfiber towel. After Wash releases water from the surface for a smooth finish after a wash. The unique spray formula enhances any wax or sealant coating using synthetic polymers for a brilliant shine. The advanced hydrophobic technology forces water away from the surface while allowing microfiber to absorb the maximum amount of moisture. Discover the most effective way to dry any vehicle with Chemical Guys After Wash.<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  1. Wash vehicle<\/li>\n
  2. Rinse using clean water<\/li>\n

    For this example I used my daily driver, \u00a0which I just finished giving a quick wash. \u00a0The car currently has a paint coating, already making the washing and drying process a pretty simple task.<\/p>\n

    While I would typically use my Metro Blaster Car Dryer<\/a> to blow most of the water off the vehicle, for demonstration purposes I will use a high quality waffle weave towel like the DI Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel<\/a>. \u00a0You will want to use a good quality towel when drying your vehicle to reduce the risk of causing any damage to the finish. \u00a0The image above shows the nicely beaded water after finishing the wash process on the hood.<\/p>\n

    You can see the effects of what a few mists of After Wash has. \u00a0You can see in the picture above how the beads of water\u00a0will instantly start to react to the product, as it seems to increase the hydrophobic properties of the surface. \u00a0At this point you will to take you clean folded waffle weave towel and gently go across the surface in one direction. \u00a0I typically make my towel damp before the first use. \u00a0While it is hard to show just how easy it is to dry using this product with pictures, I can honestly say that it makes the process much easier.<\/p>\n

    Below is a quick video showing the process and you can see for yourself just how easy this product is to use.<\/p>\n
