Spray waxes/sealants

Hello All,
Does anyone have any recommendations on a good spray wax or sealant? Something that is easy to work with, in other words, non-streaking! I'm a retired professional automotive detailer, btw.

I still apply a liquid wax (Meguiars) or sealant (Wolfgang) to our vehicles every few months or so. But I used to use Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry or Eagle One Nano spray wax after every car wash. I absolutely loved those products but I can no longer locate them. So, does anyone have any recommendations other than 303 Protectant or Mothers Ceramic Detailer. I have some of those but I don't care for them. I'm looking for something for use after every car wash.

God Bless,
Ralph​

Gyeon Wet Coat is really good, extremely hydrophobic, very easy to apply, just spray on and rinse off. Should last for several months and it's very glossy too.

i've been pleasantly surprised at the new Turtle Wax sprays. affordable, off the shelf at most stores, including walmart. very easy to apply and they last a while

Thanks co-440i. I've used a similar product in Carpro Hydro2 a few years ago. I didn't feel it did as good of a job as the aforementioned Eagle One products though which were my staple. I see they make a 303 Touchless Sealant similar to those. Have you had experience with those and what's your opinion?

The turtle wax ceramic spray proved to be an outstanding product. Checks off all your boxes, but all the other recommendations and your own are just fine as well.

Pretty much any products is good nowadays. It's not so much about brand A versus brand B, but more of - what is your situation?

If time were the biggest issue, you could use a car soap that has sio2 in it and never use a spray, for example.

If longevity, or time between washes is the biggest issue, use a true ceramic coating or at least a high silica content spray like Gyeon cure or Carpro reload 2.0/elixir or gtechniq v3.

If cost is the issue, get a $20-30 bottle of sio2 waterless wash like carpro ech2o or wolfgang or mckees and dilute 16oz of product into something like 3 gallons of spray - it'll be years before you run out.

If biggest desire is gloss - go with true ceramic sio2 or sio2 spray OR polymer spray like beadmaker, adams slick slide.

Wanna be snobby? Use Polish Angel (and it looks geat ofc)

It's very hard to go wrong here they're all good now even $10 turtle wax inside pepboys.

Adam's H2O Guard & Gloss is a cool product, allowing you to combine drying and sealing of your paint. https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-h2o-guard-gloss

Koch Chemie Protector Wax, foam cannon applied, spray on rinse off, add 30ml to 1 litre of water. Depending on how big your vehicle is you'll get away with 15ml to 500ml of water.

Sonax Spray and Seal

Use every time you wash.
Spray on while wet after thoroughly washing car.
Rinse off. No buffing needed.

Griots..... Always provide great results...

I use Optimum Spray Wax. Been great for me.

In the spray on category, I really liked Adam's H2O Guard & Gloss if you've got the time to order some (and their edgeless towels). I've gone through several bottles and still use the towels, years on. On the pricier end at $1.25 per oz.

As far as off the shelf, cheaper products... stumbled across Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax and liked it enough to buy a second bottle. Half the price at $0.63 per oz.

The Meguiar's may very well be "half the product" that Adam's is from a scientific standpoint, not sure. Just offering two ends of the spectrum from my personal experience!

Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic spray is great!

It’s not as durable as some, but Autoglym Rapid Ceramic Spray is about the best spray & wipe gloss enhancing product I’ve ever used.

Thanks for all of the replies! I actually found some more Eagle One nano spray wax (yeah), so I've purchased some of that and will continue to use it. I've decided to give Menzerna Power Lock sealant a chance given input from others. It's supposed to be even better than Wolfgang Deep Gloss, which was a staple of mine, and just as easy to work with.

I'm also considering applying a ceramic coat (Wolfgang Profi or Uber) to our 2018 BMW 650i. So, I've started another thread in regards to applying sealants/waxes on top of ceramic, having no experience with such.

Take care,
Ralph

after spraying it on and rinsing with water, do you just let it air dry or do you need to dry the car with a blower or towels?

thanks!

Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax is supposed to have insane longevity but I went with Gyeon Wet Coat for laziness and ease of application.

I typically use a blower and then a small towel with dry lube/detailer. I follow the OG process for drying.

I use the Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic spray wax and it's wipe on a thin layer, hand buff out on Black Sapphire Metallic. Easy Shmeezy!

I rinse with DI water so I haven't towel dried in years. It's a game changer and it's hard to go back let alone adding more work to the process.

I am still making my way through of the gallon of Optimum Instant Detailer. It's amazing. Will order another gallon for sure.
