Spray waxes

Bonus is how good [OCW] makes all the black plastic look..

Spray Waxes are *great* on most black plastics! While I still use ValuGard`s FastFinish (really more of a leaves-lots-behind QD) for some things, I use either (or even both) OCW/UQW at every wash. I have some minor preferences between these products, depending on the surface being treated and how I want it to look. E.g., bottom-of-bumpercover black on the Audis looks best *IMO* with UQW.

On compromised exterior black plastic and rubber, I found it interesting that numerous treatments with FastFinish revived it so well that I was able to switch to UQW, which had *not* worked out at all previously (when the plastic in question was in worse shape).

Megs Xpress wax D156 half the price of Optimum and yes I have never use it and I`m sure its great as many of their products that I use are, But sometimes bang for your buck comes into play, I use it on interiors as well.

OCW is a stand alone product, UQW is a booster.

I`ve had consistent streaking issues with OCW, on all dark colored vehicles. Even in the shade, and cool. I suppose it`s the silicone content? No issue on white...

I`ve had tremendous success with D156, under all conditions, with all paints & surfaces, and in all environments.

In addition, I`ve had wonderful results with Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer (not really a detailer, it IS a spray wax).

Winner winner, chicken dinner with these two, for me.

For my situation (which is not the same for all), longevity is not an issue. Stand alone, booster...whatever...I apply every wash, anyway.

I like OCW but I also get some streaking especially on warm paint. I use it on my wife`s silver car because it`s less noticeable.

Megs D156. Works perfect on all paint in every condition every time.

Huh, glad I haven`t experienced the OCW streaking (and yeah, I`d spot it even on silver ). I suspect that the climate-controlled shop might factor it.

Oddly enough, the only recent streaking/etc.-event was when I used FK425 as a drying aid on FK1000P a few weeks ago. Left pseudo-holograms that I could only see under point-source illumination and I worried it would be like the disaster when the FK425 messed up some 476S. Fortunately they were gone after the next wash, and I used IUDJ for the drying aid that time with no problems.
