Chemical Guys products are awesome, and this is now one of my favorites
Chemical Guys products are awesome, and this is now one of my favorites. Drying is one of my least favorite tasks – or was. This is a drying aid, but you have to use it to understand the beauty of how it works. It is very easy to use, smells great like all their products, very effective as you will see for yourself, and makes drying actually something more of a detailing step. I have found that using one of their soaps and just this product, will provide exceptional results – meaning a spot-free, waxed look which endures rain with flying colors. Of all their products this one gets used the most – in terms of quantity per detailing. So half a 16oz bottle used now after two washes. Will be buying 128oz to save money. Anyone that just pops up and says something negative most likely has not used this. I honestly have used it, and I have also used many Chemical Guys products over the years. Decided to try a review – more or less words of praise, and encourage anyone familiar with their line to go ahead and buy this. I cannot imagine being disappointed at all.

Melts the water beads before your eyes, leaves clean and spotless panels.
Clearly has a cool surfactant that helps pop the beads of water and lets you dry faster. I was actually surprised how FAST it let me dry a ’17 Outback. fresh from the factory, the water had beaded up all over the paint and as I want around the car misting panels the water appeared to ‘melt’ and with a few swipes of a microfiber, it was gone leaving a dry and slick finish. I used the Adams detailer that was supposed to do the same, but left weird ghosts where the water had run down panels. This stuff left clean panels. Period. I have a closet full of Adams products and I have to say that they’re slowly being replaced by Chem Guys products. They’re less expensive and more often do the job I expect them to.Give this a try and see what I mean. I’m satisfied enough after one use I’ll be buying a gallon.While you ponder the after wash, add Chemical Guys CWS_103_16 Fabric Clean to your cart. I got both on the same order and tested a few spots on my 10 year old carpet I’ve had professionally cleaned a few months ago. It pulled so much crud off the carpet, I bought a pump sprayer to pre-treat and won’t be calling the extractor any more.Trying not to sound like a shill for Chem Guys but I keep getting impressed by their stuff.Hope it works as well for you as it did me.

Great product
I have bought this product multiple times and it works well. It does give your car a great sheen and helps in the drying process. It have a pleasant odor and comes in a ready to use bottle.

Leaves good shine, okay for water spots.
Leaves a good shine but still some water spots visible, which are more noticeable on the black parts rather than grey. Perhaps a couple more uses could improve the spots.

WOW – can’t stop looking at my shiny car!
I saw this on the Chemical Guys website, and after washing my car without it, I decided to go all in and get the gallon size because my microfiber drying cloth got completely sodden when I washed it without it. This made a huge difference in how well I could dry my car. I had two microfiber cloths (Chemical Guys mammoth), thinking I would need two, so I didn’t have to keep squeezing out a sodden cloth. I used this After Wash and I only needed one cloth and it wasn’t even sopping wet. I did the entire car with one drying cloth. This product made all the difference. Water ran off, so there was less to be absorbed. It left behind a wonderful shine. I couldn’t stop admiring my car. WOW. I’m sold and I highly recommend this product!

Aided in drying!
Really love how easy this was to use and how it’s helped to keep a good shine on the car without water spots! The quality is really good and we haven’t had any leaking. There wasn’t any weird residue left behind which can show up very easily on my British Racing Green MINI!

I love chemical guys!
All of the chemical guys’ products are great and this product fits in with their reputation of high-quality products. I blew through the tiny bottle after just two car washes but that’s as expected so I went and bought the gallon refill. I found when using this product that drying the car went faster and used fewer towels while also leaving behind a nice scent (the bugs liked it too as they started landing on my car once I sprayed it). It also left behind that nice candy finish shine that I enjoy. It is a great product and I highly recommend it!

Excellent for after wash wipe down
Great for wiping down your ride after going through the car wash. Very effective with eliminating residual dirty and water spot that may remain after a touch less car wash.

First time using this product and wow, it really dry off the vehicle nicely and leave a beautiful finish. Another great product from the Chemical Guys.

This product is insane. It looks better using this on my own versus getting it professionally detailed. Absolutely worth it

If only there were more than five stars…A quite brilliant product. I’m a professional detailer and this has saved me £££££’s in time as it waxes/attracts remaining water and delivers a great smooth seal in one fell swoop! Well done Chemical Guys!! (I’ve bought 10 more).

Excelente producto, facilita mucho el secado del auto, se aplica directo sobre la carrocería sin diluir, yo lo aplico también en la microfibra de secado y da muy buena lubricación. Recomiendo la presentación de galon por la relación costo/producto.
