Good Spray & Wipe

[Darren F]

Looking for a good Spray & Wipe wax or sealant...Want one that is easy to use, no buffing, that will protect and add to the gloss...Any suggestions?

Duragloss Aquawax is unparalled on light colors, its a toss up between that and OCW on darks. The O has more depth, but AW has a brighter shine.

I have a black car...What is OCW?

Optimum Car Wax



http://www.optimumcarcare.com/optimumwax.html



PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Optimum Car Wax is the only spray car wax that provides the durability of a paste wax and long-lasting UV protection. A combination of high-grade Carnauba wax, sealant polymers and UV inhibitors forms a protective layer on the painted surface to protect the paint from sun damage and environmental elements for up to 5 months.



They actually don't lie too bad in the description either, I've seen several months of durability on an outdoor car, and 5 months on a garage queen is quite believable.

how does it compare to Acrylic Jett Trigger? Is it the same kind of product?

 

[TigerMike]

I'd take Aquawax hands down over OCW. Love the AW!

I use the AquaWax + 425 combination.



If you want more protection FK FX100 is equal parts glaze and sealant a sealing glaze as they call it. I might top that over the Aqua Wax. And of course 425 is like champagne, goes well with everything.

AJT is a sealant/LSP. AG is a very nice QD type product which will enhance the AJT in between washes or after a wash, or you could you QW as your QD. FK1s 425 or 146 are nice as well.

 

[Darren F]

What is AG and QW? I already use FK1-425 as my QD, but I am looking for something to keep up the protection and gloss in between coats of wax and sealant

 

[racingbeat]

those are Jeff Werkstatt products. I use his Acrylic Jett Trigger (AJT), a sprayable sealant.

Haven't tried their Acrylic Gloss(AG) yet.

The Aqua Wax not only keeps up the gloss but I think is actually more reflective than

my base wax (Pink Wax). As far as protection that's the sealants job. Acrylic sealants

like EXP and AJT last much more than a month. You're paint is plenty protected.

If you want a long lasting spray wax after a wash the Optimum Car wax/425 combination will

work very well and last very long.

So im thinking of doing Prime Acrylic, then topping it with Acrylic Jett Trigger, then the OCW after washes with the FK1-425 as my QD

 

[racingbeat]

that's pretty much what I will be doing but I add 425 every time I use my spray wax.

I left the spray wax bare a few times and its no contest the 425 over the spray wax keeps the car cleaner, slicker, longer. I did AJT, 425 on my wheels Saturday and they still look good after driving

almost 100 miles.

for quick detailing I use FK 146 if there is dust/pollen/bird bombs/water spots. It has the same antistatic ingredients as 425 but with more cleaning bite.

I'll be testing OCW once my Aqua Wax runs out. hopefully it gets along with the FK sprays as well

as AW did. The Aqua Wax shine is the best I've tried on silver so far, not an easy color to get a pop out of.
