Could this be TURTLE WAX??!!

So, is this now the new product to have?

I need a new quick detailed drying aid.

Would this be recommended ?

It’s not a cleaner so to say. Sure it’s wet and could clean but that’s not it’s purpose. More like a spray sealant.

However it will work as a drying aid I have used it this way multiple times. Consider it an off label use.

Meg’s ultimate quick wax is not a cleaner either but will also work well as a drying aid. A very good product indeed.

Megs ultimate quick detailer has cleaning qualities but not as much focused on being a protection/ sealant product


All three great products the TW SNS is very good protection wise at a very fair price is why the popularity is happening

Tested it on the roof and the hood today. The paint was not perfectly preped and high humidity also. Little trouble to wipe it off. Good sheeting when rinsed with PW later on. The rest of the car got the new version of Gyeon Wet Coat. So will be fun to see how it compares. Initially the Wet Coat is a step ahead from the water behavior. It`s going to be a raining period the week that comes.

I really dont like reviews for car care products on youtube, most show application on a perfect surface then shows the results which is always the same, shiny and positive...i mean name me one LSP that isnt going to make a flawless surface look great?

What i do like are the few youtubers that do a deep analysis with various torture tests, or just the torture test.

I wish there was more "guy with a hood that leaves it out for 12 months with various products on it" youtubers. boring videos but i want to SEE what lasts for how long. Durability is the defining factor for me, they all look great on a prepped and freshly treated surface. If i want that i do it monthly. What i want to know is what happens after 2-6 months, which ones fail from heat, which ones fail from washing, and which ones hold up to the label

the *few* videos like this that at least show the ice spray wax, which i think to be the same base product as seal n shine, shows its kinda ridiculous on the durability scale.

Just from that i picked up the $6 or w/e bottle of ice spray wax, id rather top my base coat with that since its cheap and i can soak my black trim in it. Definitely getting a bottle of seal n shine once that runs out.

Same Q here. Other than the occasional streaking issues (which are probably enough to scare me off), what problems have people encountered using it for a
Drying Aid?

I somehow doubt that any of these will offer the durability I suspect you`re after, but FWIW (and you`ve probably heard all this before) my Drying Aids, all of which are utterly Accumulator-proof (if not used outdoors) are:

-FK425
-FK146
-QD-strength IUDJ
-OCW
-Meguiar`s D156/UQW

I used to use Griot`s SpeedShine (a lot, for a very long time..not just a few gallons) and it was nice on waxes. Recent comments by GG aficionados make me wonder whether they`ve changed it.

Also used a lot of ValuGard Fast Finish, but have gradually quit reaching for it as I have with all my other QDs. (Need to use `em up somehow!)


Those work so well for me (on top of FK1000P on my vehicles, OCW/D156 alone on my wife`s A8) that I`m not really expecting to try the newer/supposedly better products like TW S&S, although they do continue to pique my interest.

FWIW, Ice Spray Wax and Seal and Shine are Different Products. Spray wax is more of a QD on steriods, at least in my use. And it works great as a drying aid. It also is great at removing fresh water spots. Better than any spray product I`ve ever used.

What are the differences between uqd and uqw? I’m wondering which of the two would be better as a drying aid- just general panel wipe down after every wash to ensure all streaks are done with.

From what I gather you use a drying aid to keep the towel from marring the paint. To do that you would want product with better lubricity which usually comes from a cleaning product. BUT.... if your going to spray something on and wipe something off why not add some protection. That’s why I use a Merlin’s mix as I get lubricity I need from the waterless and protection the sio2 sealant.

If I were to use one I would use the QD as it has more lubricity bought at the price their offered at I’d give a 50/50 mix of both a try

Drying aids make the water change behavior and SNS does this. There is some lube too it’s another liquid

There is no official anything to go by just try it for the 6-10 bucks and see how you like it.

I feel that I properly dry the car only when I’m using a spray along with my drying towel. I just don’t want to use my expensive sonax detailer spray every time I dry the car

That kind of savings is one reason why I like that my IUDJ works about as well as my QDs (not that I`m likely to use up all the latter :o ).

FWIW, the presumably minimal cleaning ability/lubricity of OCW (not sure about UQW/D156 as I don`t like it on paint) is sufficient to avoid marring from *minimal* residual dirt, at least IME doing it the way I do. But no, it`s NOT in the same league as a RW/QD though, and yeah..those mixes do sound like a good way to go.

I`ve come to feel the same way, if only because my Drying Aids do leave a little something behind, and over time both my wife and I have noticed that cars dried that way look a little bit better. Eh, note that I like to stretch my LSPing intervals, so such a diff might not be applicable to more Autopian types who LSP more often.
 
Update:

Been almost five weeks now since applying tw-Sns on the Buick. It was asked how it compared to fusso coat. From the beginning tw doesn`t have the crazy water behavior that fusso does. Now this is the ymmv. Here where I live now, fusso was dying ad about week four. This wasn`t the case at other places I`ve lived. Yesterday was a big downpour here. The beading on the Buick with tw, looks the same as it did in the beginning. The car has made three 1,200 mile round trips to the dr`s. Been in near 100 degree temps. Been in temps as low as the 40`s. Rain, driven in rain, hail, pretty much everything but snow. Bugs washed off fairly easy after a few days of baking. They weren`t as easy as fusso was to clean. It doesn`t self clean as well as the CMX did. For me, and where I currently live, this is a winner. One layer no topping with anything including a quick detailer.

Now I want to see just how long it does last. This is doing much better that any other sealant I`ve tried here at this house. This is my go to now till I get around to a coating for it.
 
This is what rain looks like half the time here. Small hail mixed with the rain. It`s crazy here.
