2019 Best OTC Spray Wax/Sealant

Here in Sweden the Sonax and Turtle Wax is the most common OFC products. Meguiars is only available in autoparts stores and online here. Not so strange with the difference since it`s made in different of our continents. Think that TW has manufacturing plants here in EU. That does a lot on the prices. Maybe Sonax put up a plant in the US to make the price less of their products. Brands like Angelwax and Bilt Hamber that is very good has crazy low price in UK. The price here is at the double. Meguiars you can tripple the price and some up to fifth of the price you get it at a retail price.

PA products is much on par as yours and even a notch lower. The few Kamikaze products that has been available here has been just a notch above your prices. Kamikaze has not have a good distributor here. Only a few products offered and as of late I don`t think it`s offering anything. PA Sweden has help with developed and beta testing for PA. So we have a great offering of products. There are some products we don`t have though. But most all color coded toppers and the Carnuabaflockencreams we have. The Viking Shield is a product developed for PA by PA Sweden. Actually PA Sweden is very close at where I live. Have thought of visit them in the future. They are also the distributor for Tac System and Scholl. So is able to get a little different products from them. Then we have some really great domestic brands that is from webshops. They are detailing business that also selling products. I`m surprised at the high quality and good price range they have.

Sometimes a year there is great sales on PA products. We don`t have the sales that you have almost every day LOL. As of now for an example it`s 20% of on all Rupes products here. But waiting for the mkIII to be available. Have been very close to buy the new Rupes LH19E rotary. But thinking more and more that the Rupes mkIII 15mm will suit me best. Need a combo of the least vibration and wear on the body. Have a 21mm longthrow polisher that works okay but to much vibrations from it. The Shinemate EX603 mini polisher is awesome and is the Adam`s Swirl Killer mini without the grip top handle. Has wanted to test out a Shinemate 15mm longthrow polisher as they seem to be a great quality made tool. And half of the price of a Rupes. But you know what you get with a Rupes. Flex is priced over the Rupes here. So would be taking a risk of importing one from Germany to get the price down a lot. The problem is with warrenty when doing this.

The TW Ice sealant seems like a pretty decent product.

I picked up both the new sealant and the regular ice wax. The ICE wax at $5.99 is a great product. It acts like a qd, excellent waterspot remover and has some amazing beading.
 
I have recently come across Sprayaway Exterior Detailer, on a clean car, it is some pretty slick stuff. Not a bad product for its price point.

Digging this ICE Spray Wax. Easy on, off, slick as anything out there, fills light swirls, doesn’t attract dust, and has some serious gloss.

My vote is for OTC with all things considered: price, ease of use.

honorable mentions:
Pinnacle spray wax - one of the best looks I`ve had from a spray, but watery and pricey.
Polish Angel Presto - gobs of carnauba glow and lasting protection, but too costly. Mary hates it, so YMMV.
UQW - price leader in concentrate, looks fantastic and has minor filling ability, but just doesn`t last (for me). Great on interior plastic bits.
 
Much as I like UQW on plastic trim, I don`t care for it on my paints (preferring OCW for a Spray Wax), and I experienced zero filling ability.
 
The new Turtle Wax Ice Seal n Shine is surprisingly nice. It`s a carnauba/ceramic hybrid.

Agreed, I just got a bottle recently and was very pleasantly surprised. While the regular ICE Spray wax seems to clean a bit, like a QD, this Seal and Shine seems to be a deidcated sealant.
 
Does Meg`s new Hybrid Ceramic Wax spray fit into this category??
We seem to have four types of detailing exterior spray categories:
1) Quick detailing sprays (they seem to be car wash (2 bucket or rinse-less) drying aids)
2) Spray waxes (gloss enhancers with hydrophobic (water-beading) properties)
3) Coating maintenance sprays (gloss enhancers while extending the protective durability/life expectancy of the coating)
4) Stand-alone spray LSP (wax-on-walk-away (WOWA) or some wax-on-wax-off (WOWO) that offer both protection and long-term durability (i.e, more than one month))

By the way, an excellent parallel thread started by acuRAS82 on defining and categorizing coating sprays is:

Thanks Lonnie! I’ve always admired you on these threads, and enjoy reading your opinions.

i think Meg’s HCW is like Hydro2 and Mckees HydroBlue (and others) with the caveat that it’s actually recommended to wipe on / wipe off or walk away for the first application (type 3 and 4 above?), but after that it’s meant for spray on /rinse off application (type 3 above, which seems like it can include traditional coating maintenance sprays OR these spray /rinse products.

I dont claim to be the all-knowing spray organizer, the above is just my opinion, YOMV.

Are we losing focus on the "OTC" part, or am I not shopping at the right retail stores? <This is typed with a friendly smile, not trying to sound negative in any way> :)

Dude, guilty as charged! Sorry. If I could get PA "at the store", I`d be in bad shape.
