I have tried 360 OCW and now aquawax. The stuff is SLICK!! looks great. Slickness is hands down better than the previous two. Looks I say are a toss up I may lean towards optimum car wax in the looks. I did however polish last week with dg 501 and then washed today with dg 901 so maybe that all played into the slickness factor. either way aquawax just took the top spot for me in spray wax/sealants!!
 
Maybe it is just me but the Aqua Wax seems to look better the next morning. Some say it is the cross linking of the polymers. You may also want to try the DG No Rinse 932 which has Aqua Wax in it.

Hi Bobby,

Have you tried OCW or XMT 360 spray wax and can offer a comparison? Which would be the superior one in your eyes?
 
I've used both OCW and AW. I prefer the AW for slickness and looks. The OCW I had to be fair was an older version and had some streaking issues. I also like the fact that I can use the AW after I blow 90% of the water off the car and then mist around with it. Never tried 360 so no comparison there. IMO both are great toppers and monthly maintenance spray waxes, it;s up to personal preference I like all DG products I have ever tried.
 
I have recently been using GG spray on wax after I blade my cars. really amazing how it adds to the depth of paint. I have of course recently polished, sealed, and waxed the mutha' too. Always been curious about Aquawax.
Everyone seems to love it.
Is it a "typical" spray on wax?
Are all spray on waxes (typically) used after a good wash?
I thought spray on wax was just a detailer with more guts.

Yes I have! :props:

If I had to state the order of performance it would be:

  1. Optimum Car Wax
  2. Duragloss Aquawax
  3. XMT 360 Spray Wax

It is really not a wax but a sealant. I have used Aqua Wax after washing and like a quick detailer. It works excellent both ways, it is nice for door jambs also.

I'm a big fan of it. I can put it on black in the sun and not streak (if I'm reasonably quick and careful). Great for a car show.
 
I love OCW for my light blue SUV. But on my black car it "ghosts" or sweats too much. I've been using Meg's Quick Wax, UWW, and Opti Detailer with no issues on the black car. How is Aquawax on black?? I can't find any locally, have to add it to my next AG order.
 
My favorite spray sealant! Love how I can get it locally as well.

I use it on my daughters Mid Night blue metallic with no issues even in the sun in Arizona.

davidc - so these "spray on waxes" can be used in between details as is or right after a wash? Or a quick LSP of sorts?
 
A BIG fan of aquawax!! buy it by the gallon!! makes my Black F150 "Wet"!!
 
One of my all time favorite products. I use it as a drying aid almost every wash. I've got 501/105 on my car. Two months in with regular AW wax gives me a bulletproof combo. Makes me wonder if I will ever use anything else.

I agree Dave! I just got AW with my Father's Day order and tried out this past weekend. Really easy to apply and buff, slickness was great but the shine didn't initially impress me. I thought the Megs Ultimate Quik Wax did a better job. The next day was a different story, wow, with the sun out the shine and depth really popped! Even one of my co-workers commented that my car looked wet! :)
 
Has anyone had durability issues with applying AW over Collinite 845? I'd hate to compromise 845!
 
^^^ my winter combo is

501/601
105/601
topped with Colly 845
Topped with AW every month...

Never had any issues... in fact i had one heck of a time removing the wax when i did my spring detail... 2 washes with 50/50 water to OPC did not fade the beading!
 
It's the only thing I can use on black at a car show w/o streaking (well, it and its sibling products).
