Now I know how all those towels work so well!

(The cars aren't "wet"!)

My car is much wetter when I go to dry, and yes I do sheet it. Maybe need a better wax coat, but it does still bead well. Maybe the detail spray helps it run off better. I use
Meguiar's D15601 Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax

because I like how it keeps the shine lasting longer.


But seriously, Guzzler HD did not impress me, my method has been a quick wipe with my Viking Waffle Weave, then a spray with the Meguiars above and a wipe with a Meguiars Waffle Weave. My Viking is pretty drenched when done.


So, the question is.... does the detail spray help that much to make the water run off?


Thanks,


Jim

Not at all. That's all from sheeting. And I actually was sloppy in that video because I was rushing.

Horrible review. I've never seen anything worse than this! I can't believe you even tried to make videos. you might see me around more again.
P.S. the owner of CarPro-US is a quality class act guy. His name is Corey and he is freaking awesome. If anyone ever has questions he will answer them personally.

I think i'm more concerned that you commented on Roshans Cocoa complexion.

If they played Satriani during pr0n, I'd acutally listen to it too.

So Matt after watching your video I think my use of the Dry Me Crazy Towels is a bit overkill . . . I sheet rinse, blow dry with my electric leaf blower, pull into the garage, then mist with detail spray and glide the Dry Me Crazy across the paint so it's really soaking up more Detail Spray than anything else. Think I'd be better off just using a Crazy Pile instead for that last step or should I skip the leafblower? There isn't much water on the car at that point after using it . . .

Leaf blower is the safest option, but yes I'd skip the dry me if all you're doing is clearing up water spots.

Do you have any issues with the Adam's detail spray staining your Dry Me Crazy towels pink? It's taking multiple wash cycles with the microfiber revitalizer to get the pink stains out . . .

I'm only using about 3-5 pumps per panel, does that seem like too much? Although I admittedly tend to use too much product with a lot of things and need to learn to control myself better.
