We have hard water here in Roanoke County; indeed, even the rain water seems to be hard. Consequently, I find myself struggling, and failing, to keep water spots from developing on the paint surface of my black Honda. I do my best to keep the entirety of the car wet while I am washing it, but still the water spots appear after I have dried the car. And being the dolt that I am, I usually do not notice them until days later. I cannot afford the purchase of a water filtration system, so I need a product that I can spray on the surface immediately prior to drying that will help to prevent the development of water spots.
My internet research has found one such product formulated precisely for this purpose. Here is what the label says that it will accomplish:
Now this sounds like the kind of product that I need, and I suspect there are many others out there who also find themselves struggling with water spots. I suggest that Meguiar's consider the development of a dedicated drying aid.
Now perhaps one or more of Meguiar's quick detailers can be used for such a purpose and indeed are used for such a purpose by some. Last Touch, I know, is often used as a drying aid. If LT can be effectively employed to reduce the formation of water spots, then I think that Meguiar's should include this in the product description, with a suggested dilution ratio. If one is going to use Last Touch as a drying aid, should it be used at full strength or would 1/1 be sufficient?
But perhaps a dedicated product, namely, one that contains ingredients whose express purpose is to minimize or prevent water spots, is still needed. I certainly would buy this product. How about you?

_____ is a dedicated drying aid, designed to reduce the chances of marring during the drying process where rinse water and a dry microfibre are being used against the surface of the paint. By introducing lubrication, any remaining dirt or sediment is less likely to marr the surface. _____ also contains ingredients to minimise water spots, by reducing limescale deposits and breaking up water beads. In addition, this bead busting behaviour increases the surface area of sitting water, making it easier to soak up with a microfibre.
