Chemical Guys After Wash Drying Kit, 16 oz — hydrophobic drying aid with microfiber towels for fast, streak-free, low-scratch dryi

Chemical Guys After Wash is a hydrophobic drying aid paired with premium microfiber towels that helps sheet water off paint and deliver a streak-free, low-scratch finish after every wash.

If you want faster, safer drying without leaving mineral spots, swirls or streaks, this 16 oz After Wash Kit combines advanced lubricating polymers and ultra-soft microfiber to glide across surfaces and remove water cleanly. The formula creates temporary hydrophobicity so water beads and sheets away, while adding a light gloss boost that complements waxes and sealants. Designed for cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats and more, it reduces the friction that causes 95% of wash-and-dry swirls when used with a quality drying towel.

How does After Wash speed up drying and reduce water spots?

After Wash changes how water behaves on the surface by lowering surface tension so droplets merge and run off in sheets. This lets you remove the bulk of water quickly with a microfiber towel, leaving fewer mineral deposits behind. Its polymers also leave a thin, lubricating layer that helps the towel slide instead of drag.

• Hydrophobic action promotes sheeting and faster runoff
• Polymer lubrication reduces towel friction and risk of swirls
• Less standing water means fewer mineral spots after drying

Can I use it on all exterior surfaces and colors?

Yes—After Wash is formulated for glossy painted finishes and other exterior materials. It is safe on painted surfaces of any color as well as wheels, glass, metal and plastic when used as directed. The product enhances the look of existing wax or sealant coats without harming them.

• Safe for clear coats and single-stage paints of all colors
• Works on glass, chrome, plastic trim and wheel finishes
• Compatible with existing waxes and paint sealants to add shine

Why include premium microfiber towels in this kit?

Microfiber towels are the industry standard for drying because they absorb water quickly and minimize surface abrasion. The included fluffy, pro-grade towels trap moisture and lift it away while the After Wash formula provides slip to prevent dragging. Combined, they make drying faster and greatly reduce the chance of introducing wash-related scratches.

• High-loft microfiber absorbs more water per pass
• Soft fibers reduce contact abrasion on paintwork
• Works with the drying aid to finish streak-free and lint-free

How do I use After Wash correctly for best results?

Spray After Wash onto the wet surface after rinsing, allow the water to sheet, then wipe with a premium microfiber drying towel. Work in panels and buff any remaining damp areas with the towel. Avoid using excessive pressure; the product is designed to lubricate and allow the towel to glide.

• Rinse vehicle thoroughly, then mist After Wash onto wet panels
• Use a high-quality microfiber drying towel to wick water away
• Buff lightly — no heavy rubbing required

Who is this for? Detailers, DIY car enthusiasts and anyone who wants a faster, safer drying step after washing: this kit is tailored for people who care about preserving paint clarity and avoiding swirl marks. It’s a practical choice for owners of cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, ATVs and snow vehicles who prefer a convenient, all-surface drying solution that pairs a hydrophobic spray with pro-grade microfiber towels for reliable, streak-free results.
