0 Huckleberry Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I always do that, spray it on the water and watch it run off. Plus you don't get any water spotting from hard water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bill-V8V Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I hit the heavy stuff with the leaf blower first then a fine mist of DS and a wipe down, always comes out great :D And don't forget to show your door jams some love !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 clipser Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 It works well especially when the water starts to dry out. DS FTW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Loud Pedal Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 It really helps when you have to do a wash in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xcracer48 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 It really helps and I like it alot! This is my favorite thing about the detail spray!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think there is a reason that after I wash a car (any) that it looks better than after most people wax their cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DCRANER Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'll give this a try next wash. Do you also DS spritz the windshield / windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 livingwater Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I detailed sprayed my wife's car are I washed it to help remove the remaining water with the microfiber. It really does work great:2thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think there is a reason that after I wash a car (any) that it looks better than after most people wax their cars :iagree:110%. Before Adam's I was most people. Now I am just a few people. Which is still very confusing to most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cyclone Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yep I always rinse the truck, then do the wheels and tires while most of the water runs off. Then depending if I do it near the shop or not is if I blow it off first. But then I mist the whole truck with DS before drying with the towel.

0 GerryC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 If you look closely at the water on the car when you spray the Detail Spray on it, you can see the water almost shrivel up once the DS hits it, like salt on a slug. Paired with the great white towel, this is the easiest drying technique ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 01Bullitt Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Never heard of this before. Always dried my car completely before using DS. Guess I'll try this method instead and save myself some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Devin04 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The only down side to this is it uses up your DS fast. But it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GerryC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) You don't need to use the Detail Spray in excess when drying. I found that one long spray over a wide area (like both doors on one side) works well. You only are looking to lightly mist the surface (it also helps to blast off the majority of the water with a leaf blower or compressor if you have one, you'll have to use even less Detail Spray afterwards). Remember, this is after washing, therefore the amount of dirt on the car will be minimal, so there isn't a need to use as much DS as when you are using it with an MF towel to wipe off dust. Drying my mom's Ford Five Hundred, which is a considerably large vehicle, my bottle of Detail Spray went down maybe a tad more than 1/2" Edited May 6, 2009 by GerryC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 reefer_bob Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I too do this. It saves trying time, I think it helps protect from micro-marring from any accidental dust/dirt left over, and just generally makes it look great! I also use it in the door jambs when drying/cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BlownG8GT Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I used to think it was a ploy to sell more detail spray....then I used it while I was drying the car....WOW what a difference it made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CRQuarto Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I used to think it was a ploy to sell more detail spray....then I used it while I was drying the car....WOW what a difference it made. It really does help a LOT! I also just let the suds dry on my car, as the PH neutral property of the car wash keeps the water from spotting when it dries. Once I finish washing the whole car, if the suds on the roof and hood have dried, no problem! I just sheet the water off the car to prevent beading as much as possible, mist the car down with detail spray, and blot off the water. Using a California Water blade works great as well, as long as you buy the real mccoy (not the cheap knockoff ones). I still mist off the car with the DS when using the water blade though, and for drying after using the water blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
