    wouldnt just spray"wax" take the time to wax it that stuff is just for touch up if i am thinking of the stuff your talking about. i use maguiers gold class but not gonna start a post war on if its the best but it goes on easy and comes off easy.

    its like nothing in the world. definition of relaxation.

      Spray waxes are somewhat gimmicks. I have tried them and they work but compared to a REAL wax job; you can't hold a candle to.

      My advice take the time to do a real wax job.

      1) Wash car completely using dish soap like dawn
      2) Dry car completely let air dry for a moment
      3) Do not do do if car exterior is hot these next steps
      3a) Use a clay bar like mothers or the like to remove extra debris from paint and "clean" the paint
      3b) After clay bar get either a 1 step or 3 step wax
      4) Wax car and admire



      Here are some pictures for reference:

      Before clay bar and wax /\ yes look at those swirl marks



      After clay bar and wax (only 1 coat) /\



      Before clay and wax /\



      After clay and wax /\

      Basically you can't beat the real thing, take your time and do it right you won't regret it. From washing to final product it took about 4 hours; but look at the final product

        How many coats do you tend to put on ?

        I gotta agree with everyone else about the only way to do it is if you really clean & wax your car. But I've heard decent things about eagle 1 wax as you dry if you insist on doing it this way.

          I recently tried a product called Buffalo's Milk. It's an old school product that seemed to work really well. Alot of them don't come off without residue. Armor All's Armor Plate was the worst, don't know if they still make it or not.

          I agree with the Gold Class, Meguire's is top notch car care products.

            for meguires spray wax try nxt booster wax. If it's the shine ur looking for that'll give it to you. But I don't like it cus it doesnt make the paint slick. I enjoy watching people slide off my cars when they're leaning against em

              Well this go round I haven't waxed her in about 2 years . But typically 1-2 coats depending on how much shine I want.

              I think in between waxings a spray wax like eagle or meguiars are decent but in no way are replaced by the real thing

                2 layers with nxt isn't necessary it has very mild cleaners and abrasives. Meaning that when you apply the second layer it takes off some of the first layer. so layering doesn't do much with nxt. But it's still a great shine.

                    I have used the eagle one wax as you dry before and I like it a lot. I gives a nice shine and leaves NO residue behind. It is really easy but like others said it is nothing compared to a real wax job. The shine/slick feel of the spray lasts for a few days to a week but actual wax lasts a lot longer. It is a pain though.
