How to Use Ceramic Spray as a Drying Aid for Maximum Efficiency
Drying your car is the perfect time to protect it—if you use the right product. Ceramic sprays aren’t just for clean, dry paint—they work great as drying aids too.
Using a ceramic spray while you dry saves time, boosts protection, and leaves your paint slick, glossy, and water-repellent in one step.
What Is a Drying Aid?
A drying aid is a lubricating spray you apply to wet paint after washing to help your towel glide easier and add a layer of protection during the drying process.
Why Use Tough As Shell as a Drying Aid?
- ✅ Adds ceramic protection while drying
- ✅ Prevents towel drag and swirl marks
- ✅ Enhances water beading and slickness
- ✅ Saves time compared to applying protection separately
Step-by-Step: How to Use It
- Wash your car with The Super Soaper to safely remove dirt and grime (Amazon)
- Rinse the car thoroughly—but don’t dry it yet
- Mist 1–2 sprays of Tough As Shell onto a wet panel
- Use a Massive Drying Towel to gently pull water and spread the product
- Buff with a second towel if needed for added gloss
Can You Use It Every Wash?
Yes. In fact, using a ceramic spray as a drying aid every 2–3 washes is a smart way to keep your protection topped up and your paint looking its best.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- ✔️ Work panel-by-panel to avoid streaking
