Spray waxes?

What is a good off the shelf spray wax. If I would just spray it on after a coat of wax, would it add something to the shine?



Also how does it work? Just spray on and buff off? Or do you just spray it on and then wash and dry the car?
 
I hate tried alot of them. The best by far and i mean really far is Formula 113. I saw a guy using it on his 1965 Caddy and he claims he never painted the car. It looked like glass. I use it on my 2001 Tahoe and man do i get looks. It looks wet like it just got painted. I havent wax since November but now that the weather is good and the boat is done my baby will get it collinite treatment.
 
I think people commonly use spray wax to quickly add a bit more protection to their existing wax job. It is kind of an intermediate between QD and a "real" wax since it usually does not have much durability all by itself.



That said, I don't think there are that many users of spray waxes at Autopia. I think it's because it's often just a bit more work to apply a coat of regular wax instead. Application methods will differ though. Some can be used wet, some dry....
 
NXT does a good job of revitalizing the wax layer....just make sure you are always out of direct sunlight when applying spray waxes....they will marr like crazy if they see sunlight....
 
Ya know, and I hate to say it, but that new Dupont Teflon Spray wax is pretty decent! I used it on my 25 ft travel tailer last wknd after a week at the lake......Sides were wet, as it says you can use wet or dry, sprayed on, spread, and wiped clean, probably the slickest OTC spray wax ive used, ive only used the EO WAUD, and the Megs stuff, this by far is nicer, and fairly thick too......
 
Nothing wrong with spray waxes. Malco Aurora 4000 and Omikron Fast Wax which I use are superb at bringing the lustre up and topping up the protection. I often use it the a few hours before going on a cruise with my fellow falcon owners. Looks awesome under the fluro lights on our night runs. Will be putting some of that on the car tomorrow avo. Got an E series ANZAC cruise that night. The bonnet will get a coat of 3M IHG
 
BUT.....in a bind EO wax as you dry impressed me. I used it per directions with so so results. I prefer to dry the car and use it as if it was a QD and buff off with a damp MF. GREAT RESULTS. Lasted through one rain storm too.
 
I used EO WAUD quite a lot when I had my Saturn. At first it was just in addition to what it had on it, but as it never wore off, since it was as easy as drying the car in the first place. It tended to replace any other wax.



I wasn't an Autopian then, meaning blowing cash right and left on products I don't even have time to use, but the SC2 always looked nice and beaded.



If I didn't want to try so many different products on my wife's silver car, I would definately use the stuff I have from two years ago on it. But the Focus is getting ColorX first, then probably NXT...probably zaino for the winter.



Oop, sidetracked. :sorry
 
Matt,

thats it. Its the best stuff i ever seen. I have tried it all. I once used gliptone with good results but not as good as 113.
 
i like nxt actually, it has seemed to work well for me. Ive even used pledge before which worked other than some minor smearing. LOL
 
If you're looking at something for between waxing after washing, go with Eagle 1 Wax As You Dry. I love the stuff, and it can be used dry as well. I just feel weird washing my car without applying wax, or at least WAUD.
