detail spray or quick wax

[chrisalvarez]

Which is a better option for drying standing water on your vehicle? Quick wax or detail spray? I have used uqw typically but what pro's or con's for either? Any information is helpful thanks in advance

Usually detail spray. But before you do that, how dirty is the car? You may be better off using a rinseless or waterless wash.

Agree with the guz on the rinse less such as ultimate wash and wax anywhere.

What I like to get my routine down to is only use the detailer for a few days after I wash the car and only if it hasn't rained, if it has and anything longer for a week since I last washed I would use a rinse less. And really the only time I use my spray wax is after a wash inbetween my waxings.

I like to wash weekly, and wax monthly assuming I have time and such. It is unnecessary to wax monthly really but I enjoy it and just don't feel right if I don't when I'm giving my car the full detail.

If you were thinking of after washing, I like to go around once with a dry towel quickly to get the bulk of the water, then once with a second dry towel and the UQW spray, overspraying everything and drying. Get the benefit of some wax protection that way.

If you mean after the rain, yeah, need a QD or waterless wash type that will have the lubrication to deal with dirt.

Thanks guys. And yes it would be pertaining to after a wash I'm just using either products as a drying aid to eliminate or atleast greatly reduce the chance of any water spotting while drying the vehicle. I also very often use the sheeting technique along with my metro sidekick or a electric leaf blower
