Drying is the step where a lot of swirl marks actually get put into the paint. People spend all this time washing carefully, then drag a dry towel across the surface and grind in fine scratches. A drying aid fixes that, and Easy Dry is the one I reach for, especially on coated cars.
What it does is add a layer of lubrication between your towel and the paint, so the towel glides instead of grabbing. You spray a couple of mists per panel, then dry as normal, and the whole surface goes slick. On top of that it tops up and boosts your ceramic coating every time you wash, so your protection stays strong and the water keeps beading. It is one of those products that makes an easy job easier and protects your finish at the same time.
This fits right into the routine I teach in our how to wash a car guide, and it is part of the maintenance I recommend for coated cars in our ceramic coating maintenance routine. Pair it with a plush drying towel and drying becomes the safest step of your wash instead of the riskiest.
NXTZEN Easy Dry is a ceramic drying aid, a spray you apply during the drying step of your wash. It uses lubricating materials borrowed from the cosmetics and skin care world, combined with NXTZEN’s own ingredients, to create a super slick surface that cuts down the friction between your drying towel and the paint. Less friction means less wash-induced marring, which is the fine scratching that dulls a finish over time.
It is more than just a drying aid though. Easy Dry also tops up and boosts an existing ceramic coating each time you use it, so your car keeps that strong water beading and slick feel between full coating services. Think of it as the finishing touch on every wash, it helps you dry safer and it maintains your protection in the same step. For the full coating itself, see NXTZEN 365PRO, the sprayable ceramic coating Easy Dry is designed to work alongside.
Pro tip from Jen: a drying aid is one of the cheapest ways to protect your paint. The towel is where a lot of swirl marks come from, so making that step slick pays off every single wash.
It lubricates the surface so your drying towel glides instead of grabbing, which reduces the fine swirl marks that drying can cause. Easy Dry also boosts your ceramic coating at the same time, maintaining water beading and slickness.
Yes. It works as a drying aid on any paint, making drying slicker and safer. On a coated car you get the extra benefit of topping up and boosting the coating.
Just 1 to 2 sprays per panel, including glass and trim. A little goes a long way, so a 500ml bottle lasts a long time.
Used correctly it leaves a clean, slick finish. Apply a light mist, spread it with your towel, and wipe away any excess as you dry. Avoid using it in direct sun or on a hot surface.
If Easy Dry is allowed to cure in the microfibre, the fibres can become hydrophobic and stop absorbing water well. Washing the towels soon after use, or soaking them in a strong cleaner, keeps them working.
