Will do, thanks!

No. I see this question pop up often because it is being pushed on Facebook.
There are very few reviews online, none of the professional sites are carrying it, general opinion is its hype in the detailer circles. Many products are. I can't say it is good or bad, but for an unknown product, it is massivly expensive, and there are no where ear enough legit reviews for me to consider it as a viable product.

Exactly what I have heard too.....

Glen, are you using anything as a "drying aid" (a quick detailer or otherwise) when drying after using ECH20? I think I remember you saying at some point that you used something while drying after using Duragloss, but I could be totally misremembering.

No you're right I used duragloss aquawax as a drying agent. But I wash about every 10 days and I found no need to add more products to the finish. I won't use the echo2 the same way.....but certainly some do....

Thanks, Glen - it's good to know that I wasn't losing my mind at the very least! I think I'm going to order some ECH20 and give it a whirl.

You shouldn't need anything else with a Silica product for rinseless washes, but I get it all depends if you want to really soend more time and $ on another product not really needed.

I use the Ech2o detail mixture as my drying aid. The little reload, or cure mixed in works very well. But for rinseless there is not much need, though I mist each panel with the mix before drying. Once dry your done. You can skip it if you like. I like the added lubrication as a safety margin.

Is that the quick detailer mix for the Ech20 as per the bottle ratio or is that the one with Reload and Ech20?

I use it only with cure or reload. It should be ok without. Hit a panel with a few light mists and see how it released the water beads. Im always really busy so I like the custom blend as a step saver.
