How is it possible to apply DRI WASH 'n GUARD® over a dirty surface?

DRI WASH 'n GUARD® contains 47 secret ingredients, including wetting agents, lubricants and protectants which have never been used in the car care industry. The detergents and wetting agents in Waterless combine to soften and emulsify surface grime, while a specific blend of polymeroxane fluids and hydrophenolic lubricants attach a microscopic layer of exclusive PolyGuard-3® to the surface. PolyGuard-3® is an extremely rare (and expensive) substance which provides a bonded layer of protection against any remaining abrasive not broken down by the detergents and wetting agents.

What is the guarantee on DRI WASH 'n GUARD®?

A vehicle surface protected by DRI WASH 'n GUARD® will bead water for a year or more, even on windshields which are scrubbed by wiper blades, ice scrapers, etc. When applied to paint on a new vehicle, then reapplied twice a year, the paint will not fade. Once oxidation begins, however, it cannot be stopped, only slowed. On older, extremely oxidized paint, DRI WASH 'n GUARD® may need to be applied as often as every 2-3 months, even though the paint is still protected and beading water. DRI WASH 'n GUARD® helps protect against the effects of high sun exposure, acid rain and road salt.

What are the benefits of DRI WASH 'n GUARD® on glass, and are there any precautions to its use?

There is no other product for use on glass which will give the brilliant clarity of DRI WASH 'n GUARD®. The glass will seem to disappear. The product also makes a glass surface smoother, or slippery, so that water runs off a windshield without a trace. This "slick" surface also means that insects, bird droppings and tree sap can be removed effortlessly. In winter, windshields and outside mirrors protected by DRI WASH 'n GUARD® are more easily cleared of snow and ice.

DRI WASH 'n GUARD® be applied over paint and sealants?

Yes and no. Paint sealants are only applied to new cars, or cars whose paint is in excellent condition. If properly applied, the sealant will maintain the finish for six months or more. When the finish no longer beads water, the DRI WASH 'n GUARD® should be applied. DRI WASH 'n GUARD® should not be applied within 90 days after a fresh paint sealant.

If DRI WASH 'n GUARD® is applied over FRESH paint sealant, it is possible that the DRI WASH 'n GUARD® may be somewhat difficult to remove and cause minor streaking, usually noticeable only on darker colors. It can be applied over a fresh paint sealant without problems if a high-speed buffer is used.

Will DRI WASH 'n GUARD® remove hard water spots?

It can, but only if the finish is relatively new, has already been treated, or the spotting hasn't set too deeply. DRI WASH 'n GUARD® is a tremendous cleaner, but it is not an abrasive rubbing compound, which often is necessary to remove severe hard water spots.

Does DRI WASH 'n GUARD® help to protect against ultraviolet (UV) radiation?

Yes, thanks to two special ingredients which help screen UV rays. But there is nothing that can totally protect a surface from exposure to the sun. Just as sunscreens cannot entirely protect the skin from burning, UV- blockers cannot fully protect painted surfaces from chemically decomposing over time.

Can DRI WASH 'n GUARD® remove scratches?
