Wipe-on-wipe-off Wax?

Gig103 · 03-08-2010, 11:36 AM

Another product question for you guys (in case you couldn't tell, I'm about to place an order!!)

I just waxed my car (Poorboys Natty Blue) and always love the way it looks. But as easy as Natty is to use, it still requires time to haze up.

So I was thinking about picking up Optimum Car Wax or another Spray-on-wipe-off wax that I could more frequently.

Or, should I just continue to use Optimum detail spray after a wash to achieve the same gloss, since if I keep it waxed and sealed it would have the protection necessary?

I love the optimum car wax. It really gives the car that extra pop and protection short term.

Use thinner coats of Natty's! Remember less is more, thin coats make it easier to haze and buff off and just add a second coat. Optimum Spray Wax is a great booster/maintenance spray wax. Great stuff

Liquid waxes are your best bet IMO. It's best to remove them immediately after application even if they havn't dried. Buff up and viola!

PB has a good quick wax as well. I use Spay & Gloss after washes and in between coats of Natty's with good results. Can't hurt to use any quality spray wax or detailer for those in between times. Oh and yes thin layers works best with multiple coats if you really feel the need. I use a sealant with Natty's over the top so one coat works for me, use it more for the looks.
