With these cold months and limited time give proper care to our cars, I was thinking about giving a quick refresher with a spray wax.
I was curious on the longevity of these products.
What would I be looking at 2 weeks, a month, longer?

Everyone's feedback is appreciated.
 
Optimum Car Wax. I usually get about 3 months of solid beading. You can't go wrong with QW+ either.
 
when i used eagle one wax as you dry, it usually lasted about 2.5 weeks tops .. most climates about two weeks, but im sure other superior products could add up to 1 week more !
 
AW and OCW will give you a lot more than the others mentioned. Yes , personal experience .

Ryan , what are you using to polish / buff the mini van (product) ?
 
I am not a big spray product fan, with the exception of S&W for dust and bird bomb etc.

I have Just picked up Meg's Ultimate Quik Wax, I didn't test for durability but it's a very good looking spray wax.
 
If your looking for an easy application for what ever reason you still have to have a clean vehicle and then spray on the wax and wipe it off why would you put something on that only last 2-4 weeks when you can put on a liquid sealant and wipe it off in just about the same amount of time and get months of protection.
just asking.:)
 
This will depend on how much you wash and dry your car. The more you wash and wipe dry the more you remove the wax.:surrender
 
I like spray waxes over detailers if you are trying to add gloss. I have been using Mothers FX Spray Wax. It costs less than many fancy gloss enhancing detailers and just about as easy to use but provides longevity. In my uses, detailers tend to be for spot cleaning and clay lube. If I want a cleaning detailer, I like to use PB S&W or ONR mixed to QD strength. If was doing a regular wipedown of a garage queen, detailers make more sense.
 
FK 146 is an awesome cleaner/QD. I've even used it as a waterless type spray and wipe cleaner and had no marring at all , just clean , shiny and slick.
