Powerful Turtle Wax Drying Chemical
Turtle Wax Pro Power Dry is a chemical drying agent formulated for commercial car wash facilities. Power Dry is a water-based emulsion of pure non-polar solvents that work together with the ceramic layer, lowering the surface energy and causing water to break and bead. This allows water to swiftly leave the surface after the final step, resulting in exceptionally dry vehicles. Power Dry is typically applied near the end of the wash process after cars have been cleaned but before they are blown with air dryers. This high-performance drying agent is ideal for use in friction applications – both rollover automatics and tunnels. Great for use with TX-3 Power Shine Tunnel Ceramic Sealant and other products from the Turtle Wax Titanium System.
Benefits
- Rapid Drying Time: Effective formula promotes quick water beading, reduces water spots, and minimizes drying time. Achieving an amazing finishing without sacrificing speed is key in the competitive car wash industry.
- Concentrated Formula: The highly concentrated formula maximizes the number of vehicle washes per container (approximately 2,704 to 4,732), so you get more value for your dollar. Plus, shipping and storage is easier with smaller containers instead of large drums!
- ECOLOGO™ Certified: Meets stringent environmental and health standards, providing operators with an eco-friendly chemical option that can help you meet local municipal water regulations.
- Biodegradable and Reclaim Compatible: This chemical can be safely used with reclaim systems.

Application Suggestions
Use proportioner tips (i.e. HydroMinder, Dema, etc.) in conjunction with downstream injection (i.e. Dema, venturi, etc.) to achieve final use dilution.
Target Usage and Calibration
Dilute Turtle Wax Pro Power Dry at the manufacturer’s recommended ratio of 800-1500:1 for best results. Apply 4–7 milliliters per vehicle to ensure ample, even coverage. Dialing in your chemical systems to hit this exact metric is absolutely crucial for balancing exceptional vehicle drying with strict chemical cost controls. You may need to adjust the dilution ratio based on your local water hardness or use a reverse osmosis (RO) system to ensure optimal water quality and minimal impact on chemical performance.
