Drip Dry is a spray-on, rinse-off hydrophobic coating used with The Captain’s Musket or Big Loads Foam Cannon, making drying faster, reducing water spots, and creating a slick surface that repels dirt for easier future washes.
How to use it
Preparation:
- Wash your vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grime, and debris.
- Rinse the vehicle well to ensure no soap residue is left behind.
Application:
- While the vehicle is still wet, spray Drip Dry - Hydro Coat evenly across all exterior surfaces.
- Focus on one section at a time, ensuring full coverage.
Rinse Off:
- Immediately rinse off the product with a strong stream of water, starting from the top of the vehicle and working your way down.
- Watch as the water beads up and rolls off the surface, leaving a streak-free finish.
- Drying:
- For best results, dry your vehicle with a clean microfiber towel or chamois to remove any remaining water droplets and enhance the shine.

I do have a 4x4 but it’s still clean, so I decided to try Salty gear on this KW. Came up better than I thought, I used the soap with the gun (to a hose) then used the large brush, and the mitten I got with my bucket.
Washed the wife’s car other day, and used the ceramic coat, next day dirty rain. Rinsed her car off and used micro fibre rag, came out well.
