Spray on, wipe off (or wowo) waxes - good, better, best?

I'm done with spray waxes, low durability, not tough enough for summer months when I need protection from water etching, etc. Even OCW seems to melt off after a few days. But then again, better than nothing...... Plus more wiping, more chances of a scratch or marring , etc.

I guess my focus was in an after wash topper to assist the base LSP in making it through the winter, NOT a stand-alone LSP.



If your surface is clean and you use proper (MF) towels and common sense, scratching shouldn't be an issue - right?

ok, thx.... and yes I have some decent MF's, products, etc. Common sense, nah...

I guess my focus was the more wiping, chances of friction against the paint surface, the greater chance of a scratch. When I say scratch, I don't mean like a tiger claw type.

MF towels are great, but does anyone sell one that is guaranteed not to leave any kind of mark?
 
well... after using DG AW for quite some time now, it's my main go to wowo spray wax (excellent over lsp's). mothers fx use to be (it's been regulated to wheels, door jambs and won't be buying it again), but it doesn't even compare to DG AW. for about the same price with longer protection and higher shine, DG AW is the way to go!

Another vote for Acrylic Jett Trigger - it is just too easy to use to believe it actually can last for many months. However, I do really like OCW (bought by the gallon it is as cheap as anything per application) when used with ONR before drying the ONR wash.



If all you are looking for is a one time WOW factor QuikShine is the ticket.
 
I used the quickshine and the EO wax as you dry

I think both are pretty good but i like quickshine better..

EO smell better tho
 
AW is my choice too. Eagle One Nano spray is great too. It wont last as long as AW, but on dark colors , it does hide scratches. Turtle Platinum spray will also somewhat hide scratches also.

yeah I use the nano wax after every wash so durability is not that important to me. I picked it up for the heck of it and I am very happy with it







I am still getting AW tho

Recently I've found a carnauba based QD (arexons Speed Polish) which gives more substantial slickness than a typical detailer spray. Love it.

Bence, where do you get the arexons Speed Polish? Can that be purchased in the states anywhere? Thanks
 
I don't know about arexons' presence on the US market. Here it is absolutely OTC; you can find it on every Shell and ÖMV (Austrian) stations.

My thoughts EXACTLY!
 
I just love DG AW. Very slick, very shiny, ridiculously easy to use. But for dark colors - OCW gives a warmer, Carnauba type of look. Overall I do prefer DG AW, even on my black car.
 
I just used AW for the first time yesterday on my silver tacoma, and all I can say is WOW! It's very slick and incrediably shiney. I'm glad I finally got some. OCW is next.
 
On my black Almera DG AW gives a real nice shine after a ONR wash and is very easy to use.



Jeffs AJT however beats AW for slickness and that wet look we all strive for. It is also every bit as easy to use as AW. So on black at least my vote is for AJT.
