One of the best QD's to deal with water spots is Koch Chemie FSE. An excellent drying towel I have is the Drinker XL from in2detailing.

 

Just ordered a bottle of FSE for removal of water spots. The recent hot weather made it difficult to get round the car in quick time. I'm hoping this clears up the water spots. Great review on forensic detailing about it.

I did the same thing. FSE did the business without too much effort.

 

In2detailing have a good range of drying towels. Fecks Philosophy have a couple that are rated well.

 

An open hose is the cheapest.

Another cheap and cheerful rinse aid that works well is Demon Shine, on offer at supermarkets every now and then, dilutes well

I would fill a 5ltr watering can, add a little Demon Shine and then simply pour over my recently washed car. Sounds crude but works well.

Drying towel, still love my XL Uber, soaks up copious amounts of water with ease.
AF Aqua Deluxe I had left lint despite a couple of washes. Sold it on.
I have a couple of other smaller drying towels that work well but the size of the Uber XL makes it a breeze to use.

 

what Neil said, i bought some demon shinefrm B&M last month for £3.99 (tesco have it on offer for £4 at the minute too) it's a brilliant rinse aid and i use it neat.... as for drying towel i'm using autobrite directs reaper & prestige car care big yellow, i think i'm going to try one of the Klin Korea towels as they're getting very good reviews lately

 

According the web, Wickes are doing the 2 litre with spray attachment for £7.04. Even cheaper! I've been looking for a cheap rinse aid, will give that a go.

EDIT: Pah, nearest Wickes store with stock is 17 miles away!!

 

Guys, can I use a drying aid and then wax/sealant/QD afterwards?

Can you use Sonax BSD on wet panels as a drying aid and final fling?

Absolutely you can.

 

I have always lived in a soft water area and even use collected rainwater for washing and rinsing so I am not qualified to give an answer but years ago there was someone on here who was in a hard water area, suggesting that if you put 10/20ml of hair conditioner in with your rinse water, he said 10 ml to one bucket or a spray, then you dont get any water spotting anyway.

Also he used to wash his car in the rain.

 

What is going on with Koch chemie products, can't buy a can of FSE anywhere.

 

Slims have it (forgot to get some at Goodwood, duh)
