Has anyone tried different brands of drying aids? I’m curious if there’s a real difference in results.
I’ve tried a few, and while some claim to be better, they all work pretty well if applied correctly! But I’m always willing to test more!
I’ve found that homemade drying aids can work surprisingly well. A simple mix of water and vinegar in a spray bottle helps prevent spots without breaking the bank!

That’s interesting! I usually stick to commercial products. They often provide more consistent results, especially in hard water areas.

I’ve tried both. Homemade aids can be cost-effective, but I once used too much vinegar and left streaks! Hilarity ensued – my car looked like it was going through a mid-life crisis.
Haha! I’ve been there. My friend swears by a commercial drying aid, saying it’s foolproof, but it’s pricey.
Commercially, I like ‘Detailer’s Helper.’ It’s great for a quick dry and smells nice! Homemade might save money, but isn’t always reliable. Just my two cents!
Great recommendation! Did you notice any actual time savings with it compared to homemade products?
If you’re parked under trees often, a good commercial product may be worth the investment. Keeping leaves and sap from sticking makes a difference.
That’s solid advice! One thing I learned is that some products can actually cause more scratches than they prevent.
I tried mixing dish soap with water and it resulted in a bubbly disaster! Stick to recommended ratios if you go homemade, folks.
Bubbly disaster – that’s priceless! Just remember, what works for one may not work for all. Experimentation is key!
