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.

About this product

Drip Dry is a spray-on, rinse-off hydrophobic coating designed to make drying your car, boat, or 4WD faster, streak-free, and hassle-free. Used with The Captain’s Musket or Big Loads Foam Cannon, it applies as a foamy layer, creating a slick, water-repellent surface that helps water bead up and roll off instantly. But that’s not all—Drip Dry also makes future washes easier by reducing dirt and road grime buildup, meaning less scrubbing and a cleaner ride for longer.

Why You Need It:

Speeds up drying time – Water beads and sheets off instantly, reducing towel drying effort.
Reduces water spots and streaks – Leaves behind a clean, spot-free finish.
Creates a protective barrier – Helps prevent dirt, dust, and grime from sticking to the surface.
Foam gun compatible – Easily applies using The Captain’s Musket or Big Loads Foam Cannon.
Safe for all exterior surfaces – Works on paint, glass, plastics, and trim.

How to Use:

1️⃣ After washing, load Drip Dry into The Captain’s Musket (garden hose foam gun) or Big Loads Foam Cannon (pressure washer foam gun).
2️⃣ Spray a thin, even layer over the wet vehicle, working in sections.
3️⃣ Immediately rinse off with clean water, watching as water beads and rolls away.
4️⃣ Dry with a microfiber towel for a perfect, streak-free finish.

By creating a slick, hydrophobic surface, Drip Dry not only makes drying easier but also helps keep your vehicle cleaner for longer, so dirt and grime won’t stick as easily next time.

    A larger truck

    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.

    Hydro bucket Review

    Love the hydro bucket and all the accessories it came with most of all the musket water gun, whilst using it I do blurt out a couple pirate shanties and one liners

    The wash glove is nice and soft and doesn’t hurt the paint

    The microfibre clothes are great aswell cleaning is so easy and doesn’t leave those little fibres of the cloth anywhere as others would
