Has anyone used JetDry when rinsing your truck?

    Just curious if this would work in a foam cannon for a final rinse?

    Why not just buy something specifically made for it? Use an air cannon, and detail spray as a drying aid (thats what I do)

    Just grab a step stool and a synthetic "Absorber". Much faster, cheaper and easier than anything else.

    Dunno about a foam cannon, but i live in the tx hill country & have witnessed the change in hard water spots with jet dry. Gotta kinda polish with the damp drying towel on pic day, cause the next rain washes it off.

    As long as its not covered in grime and mud, adams rinse-less wash works really well and you. Buff out water spots as you go. I can do both cars in an hour

    One tip I may pass on - use a foam / shampoo that does not produce water spots. I use Adams Graphene shampoo (I ceramiced my vehicle) and their shampoo does not produce water spots.

    nice!

    I have seen it make a difference in our glasses coming out of the dishwasher. My biggest reason for wondering about this is by the time I wash the entire truck and rinse it off in our heat the water dries almost immediately. Hard water spots, especially on windows, are hard to get off. I get using special soap, however all that soap must be rinsed off by the hard water.

    It was just a thought one day when I was putting the dishes away!

    I've heard of people saying to put some ONR in your wash bucket for water spots. I have hard water and it leaves minerals on my paint/windows. I'm coated, and it still does it...even though I wash late in the evening(typically lights come on when I finish washing, then I move into the garage to dry). I flood rinse it to get as much off. That's the thing, you're rinsing it off with the hard water, so I'm not sure how much adding it to the bucket would actually help. I think not much, so I haven't done it.

    Could go the spotless system like suggested at the bottom, but that's a pricey system

    We have hard water and heat here. I usually get the exterior done by 9/10A. I am fast to wash (full 2 bucket method) and get it in the garage as well. No water spot issues

    Hard water here and no garage. After washing I blow off and use ceramic speed shine as a drying aide, (drying towel used to buff off residual water), and have no water spot issues. Also tops off the protection!

    Meguiars quik wax removes all the spots on the truck for me that the blower didn't take care of

    ONR in the bucket with Reset seems to help if I’m washing when it’s hot out and racing to get it rinsed before the soap dries. It doesn’t help anything with the final rinse.
    The spotless system is the only thing that eliminates the problem entirely.

    I don’t know how well it will work, but you probably want to look up the chemicals in it to see if any are bad for your paint.
