which quick wax?

I think you need some 4 Star to test. I can arrange that! Ultima needs a Spray Wax!

I'll agree to that if you will pick more then just the WG Plastik sealant :) I still haven't sent that out. Waiting for you to pick a few more things.

I love Aquawax.

I love Optimum Car Wax.

I have and use both...but they give slightly different looks. The Aquawax is bright, reflective and wet. OCW gives a deeper look, more carnauba like (as it does have carnauba in it) and is also wet looking.

If I had to choose between the two, it would depend on what color the car was that I was going to use it on.

Generally speaking, Aquawax for lighter colors, OCW for darker colors.

:iagree:OCW has a UV protectant. Don't know of any spray wax that has it.

I believe Pinnacle XMT 360 Spray Wax and Pinnacle Souverän Liquid Spray Wax
has uv protectant also.

Both products use carnuba and polymers to shied UV light, however Optimum Car Wax has true UV protectors that is a patented compound.
From Dr. G: You do get some level of UV protection from the reflection effects as well as some sacrificial UV protection (the polymers breaking down rather than the paint). But for UV protection, you need specific compounds designed to block UV light. The main product we offer for exterior application that provides the most UV protection is Optimum Car Wax which contains these specific chemicals to block UV light.

I don't think spray waxes were designed to be replacements for regular waxes, so durability really shouldn't be measured in my opinion.

Well, I would somewhat agree, I am not wanting to use it as a replacement for my regular polish and wax, but nothing wrong with wanting to add some decent protection and gloss after washing. I haven't polished/waxed my car since the beginning of the summer, I am using doing customers cars on the weekends. I will find the time before winter to clay and a light polish and wax/sealant again, but in the meantime after washing I am using either a quick wax or FK425 pc'd and the car still feels very slick and really beads water well...

Right on. I wash my car weekly and while drying it receives a good coat of Aqua Wax. I apologize for assuming you were looking to use that as a stand alone product. :xyxthumbs:
 
I got some WG spritz sealant on bogo a while back and have been pretty happy with it. I would like to try the OCW though.

I prefer DG AW with Polycharger H2O. Corey's review validates my observations. His test panel is proving Polycharger adds durability. OCW cant be boosted with PC H2O according to the AG chart. That surprised me . I thought it was H2O based. I have not used UQW. Pinnacle & 4 Star are superb, but cost much more.

I'm glad you mentioned the PC H20 with OCW, I couldn't find any info about doing that and was curious if anyone had tried it. I like OCW, and like Meguiars UQW both, (never tried adding PC to UQW either) but was curious about all the good things I had read about Duragloss Aqua Wax. I have tried a sample of Pinnacle Souveran liquid spray wax, liked it, but it's more than I want to spend on a gallon, same goes with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz sealant.
