View Full Version : 2019 Best OTC Spray Wax/Sealant
What is your favorite OTC spray wax/sealant? I`m finding it hard to believe nothing is able to top DG Aquawax for me. This is a product that made its way to the market around 2006. For me it lasts longer than anything else in the segment, doesn`t attract dust/dirt, and looks really good. Megs UQW is good, but it is more pricey and doesn`t last as long. I`m trying out CMX and the new TW Shine n Seal.

If price isn`t an option then I reach for PA Rapidwaxx every time. Second is WG Fuzion Spray Wax and my third go to Mk37 Trademark Extender Spray Wax.

I`m with you, Dan. Aquawax has been my go-to for many moons. Not gonna fix something that ain`t broke.

Hmm..I`ve never tried DG AW. I`m still using OCW (most paint...but OK, not OTC) and Meg`s UQW/D156 (trim, some paint but generally NOT) and/but find that both basically oughta be redone after most washes (the Meguiar`s most definitely).
How does DG AW compare with those two with regard to looks (I find OCW and UQW look *VERY* different), durability, and user-friendliness (I find OCW and UQW utterly Accumulator-proof)?

AW, UQW and OCW all look very different. AW has that trademark Zaino like shine/reflectivity. UQW has some really good depth, and OCW is just very balanced. OCW and AW last about the same. AW is a bit less prone to collect DUST. OCW looks much, much better on dark trim. AW is pretty foolproof too.

It sounds like it all depends on what look you’re after then. I personally prefer depth over high gloss, almost plastic like shine.

Talk about a tangent....we went from OTC to something we can literally buy from only one place (and it isnt OTC) lol
I would love to try Duragloss products but I have never been able to locate them locally. Our little Carquest never had them and is now owned by Advance Auto so I assume they never will.

Free ship to home if no stores in your area have it. And you can usually find a good coupon too.

I`d have to vote for CMX. As easy to use as any spray wax and should last longer. And the clarity and definition are top notch.

Ah, thanks for the heads-up, since that`s not what I`m after.
.. OCW looks much, much better on dark trim..
Huh, and here I prefer the UQW on trim! Personal preferences again :D
Good to hear the AW is user-friendly though, it`d be a drag for somebody to use it as a Drying Aid and mess things up at the end of a wash.
