5) Let dry for 4 minutes



BLEGH



No pictures because after 4 minutes there were water spots where the water beaded up and evaporated. Not wanting to do more work, I dried with a waffle weave microfiber and put on spray wax. The two sides were aesthetically indistinguishable and both had the same amount of water left.



Before the spray wax, I noticed the Easi Dry side was not as slick as the Deep Crystal side. Either it actually strips wax or it leaves a residue. Either way I don't like it. It sort of made the water sheet off better, but not enough to justify its lack of lubricity. It gets as sudsy as the Deep Crystal.



Nano spray wax: A-. Some streaking, not as easy to use as Duragloss Aquawax or Mothers FX Synwax Spraywax. Adds some protection and slickness to paint. Looks great.

It's leaving something on the surface to promote the sheeting action. Regardless, most carwashes won't prevent waterspotting with hard water.
 
thanks for the review (this product didn't interest me as any car wash and the flood method works well), the regular EO1 car wash is pretty nice and works very well with the foam gun...
