How Do the In-Bay Air Dryers Work?

After spending time washing your vehicle, the last thing you want is water spots undoing all your hard work.

That's why The Wash Stop offers in-bay air dryers to help remove water from your vehicle before it has a chance to dry on the surface.

What Are In-Bay Air Dryers?

In-bay air dryers use high-velocity air to blow water off your vehicle's exterior surfaces.

Unlike towels or chamois, air dryers remove water without touching the paint. This helps reduce the risk of introducing scratches or swirl marks during the drying process.

When Should I Use the Air Dryers?

Use the air dryers after you complete your wash.

For the best results:

1. Complete your wash cycle.

2. Finish with Spot-Free Rinse.

3. Move to the air dryer area.

4. Use the dryers to remove remaining water from the vehicle.

This combination helps reduce water spots and leaves your vehicle looking cleaner.

Why Use Spot-Free Rinse Before Drying?

Spot-Free Rinse removes many of the minerals that cause water spots.

The air dryers then help remove the remaining water before it can evaporate.

Using both together produces better results than using either one by itself.

Will the Air Dryers Remove Every Drop of Water?

Not always.

Water can remain in places such as:

• Side mirrors

• Door handles

• Grilles

• Body seams

• Trim pieces

The dryers remove most of the water from exposed surfaces, but some water may continue to drip from hidden areas after you leave.

Are Air Dryers Better Than Towels?

Each method has advantages.

Air dryers:

• Do not touch the paint

• Help reduce the risk of scratches

• Quickly remove water from large surfaces

Microfiber towels:

• Can remove remaining droplets

• Work well around mirrors and trim

• Help achieve a final show-quality finish

Many customers use the air dryers first and then perform a quick touch-up with a microfiber towel if desired.

Are the Air Dryers Safe for My Vehicle?

Yes.

The air dryers are safe for:

• Cars

• Trucks

• SUVs

• Motorcycles

• Ceramic-coated vehicles

• Waxed vehicles

The dryers use air only and do not contact the vehicle's surface.

The Bottom Line

The Wash Stop's in-bay air dryers are designed to remove water quickly and safely after your wash. For the best results, finish with Spot-Free Rinse and then use the air dryers to help reduce water spots and leave your vehicle looking its best.
