Introduction:
Recently I bought a bottle of the H20 Guard-n-Gloss and really liked how well it worked. My only "problem" with it is how expensive it is and how quick I use it. I decided to look at see what other products were out there and stumbled upon the Turtle Wax Wax and Dry. It is far cheaper (though it doesn't wax as well, which for me is fine...) I mainly use it as a way to dry easier and eliminate water spots. With the Guard-n-Gloss the directions say spray on a panel at a time, wipe with one microfiber to sort of "mix" the wax and water, then use another one to dry and "buff" the panel. The Turtle Wax just says spray one panel at a time and wipe dry, which really soaks the microfiber to where I'd have to use a lot of them since once wet, they don't really dry.
So here's what I do once the car is washed and still wet:
- Spray the whole car with the Wax and Dry (or Guard-n-Gloss)
- Use one microfiber (I use a Meguiars Water Magnet Drying Towel) and wipe the whole car down. You might have to wring it out a few times. The objective here is to remove most of the water
- Once the car is wiped down and minimally wet, take a second dry microfiber and wipe dry.
I was able to use just the Water Magnet and a regular yellow microfiber to dry the whole car.
This might not be the best way, but it works for me!
