    Drying your paint

    Killrwheels over at the Autogeek forum recently came up with this
    as an aid to drying your car to reduce micro marring. He stated that he
    used a QD. I put in the product of my choice.
    After washing and when I start drying. I use a Ultimate Guzzler and Poorboy`s
    Spray & Wipe by spritzing a panel while drying. It helps reduce drag and
    adds pop to the paint while drying. I think the lubrication helps reduce
    micro marring big time. I then go over with Spray & Gloss. Viola! I will be
    doing this from now on.

    Yep! Very popular method for drying, and for some a real time saver as it allows them to qd and dry at the same time.

    Yeah, that`s a pretty good aide. I have been doing that for a while now, and not only does it aide in drying the vehicle, but it also adds some shine to the finished product.
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    After a wash, and during the drying process is the only time that I QD.

    It removes any soap residue, restores any lost slickness, and definitely adds to the look of your paint. Right now I`m using Z6. I wasn`t a big fan at first (during cold/damp weather), but now that it has warmed up, it`s the only one I reach for. I`m not sure `what`s different` in Z6 vs. other QD`s, but I can notice it. It wipes off streak free, has a ton of slickness, and really puts some zing in the paint. In the winter, I`ve had better success with #425.
