500ml Drip Dry (Post-Wash Hydro Coat)
Designed for quick, effortless application, Drip Dry is used with either the pressure washer or garden hose foam gun. Simply spray it on after washing and rinse off immediately for a high-performance hydrophobic effect.

I grabbed the Salty Captin 4WD DIY Detail Bucket for my ute and honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. Everything you need is right there in the kit. The wash and interior products smell great, clean even better, and the accessories make the whole detail job way easier. For a DIY kit, this is next level. Highly recommend it.

Recently purchased a new 4x4 after years without one. Needed a decent car washing kit and looked online to find Salty Captain and headed into the reviews. Took a punt on it and finally got to use it today on my car and the wife's little KIA. Wow! I'm using a Gerni to feed the detergent and it was foamy and thick as. Rubbed over with the micro fibre noodle mit, rinsed and then sprayed on the drip dry polymer mix. Dried with the big microfibre towel and job done. Finished with window cleaner, internal surface cleaner and the tyre shine. All of it was as described and worked far better than I expected. Can't rate it higher than the 5 stars I'm giving it unfortunately. Great products. Worth the extra $ for the quality and it's ability to do what the advertising says.

Everything you need to clean your 4wd in one bucket. Cleaned my car sparkling clean, easy to use. Only down side is the nut on the pressure washer attachment squirts out water and it won’t tighten further to stop excess water squirting out
