I've noticed my car always seems to be wet long after all the other cars on the street have dried off.

It has water beads just sat constantly. The car gets washed regularly and last had an application of quality wax about 4 weeks ago.

Surely it's not a good thing. I thought the water was supposed to run off. My car just stays wet all the time whilst others air dry in a few hours.

It's not that it's ingressing, it's the fact that in this cool weather, it's just sits with water on all day.

Why does a standard car dry off and a detailed car not?

I thought the wax was supposed the help the water run off.

Good tip cheers.

So just wash the car as normal rinse and then rinse again with the demon additive?
