Im new to the site..thx for the help. Ive just bought a new car and Im using P21S carnuba wax, started out using the wheel cleaner in the mid '80's. Ive seen many brands of "quick wax" or "speed shine" does this kind of products mess up the waxing? I plan on waxing every 4 to 5 weeks, if you do recommend this kind of product, there are many on the market, what do you recommend?
 
My favorite quick detailers (IMO) is Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray and Sonax BSD. These are my go to QD's and they do not harm the wax on your vehicle...in fact it will help prolong the shine. As for a Spray wax...I use Optimum Spray Wax. That wax is great!! I have heard but have not tried (will be very soon) is Duragloss Aqua Wax. I am sure there are other QD's and Spray Waxes that would do the same job, however, I am sure the majority of the people in this thread would agree that the products I mention are pretty good and should do well on your vehicle. Give them a try and I am sure you will not be disappointed.
 
After getting my hands on Sonax BSD, pretty much all other spray waxes, spray sealants and QDs are sitting untouched in my garage. That stuff is epic.
 
Welcome to autogeek, another vote for Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray its amazing though if money is tight one of the otc meguiars spray waxes are pretty good too
 
Welcome !! Another consideration is Pinnacle XMT Spray Wax - applies as easy or easier than a detail spray.
 
I like Chemical Guys V7. Amazing stuff. Poorboys Spary and Glosss is great stufff too.
 
If you amp up with a spray wax after each or every other wash, you may not need to wax as often. Find one you like and use it often.
 
Guys thx for the help. A few more questions, is quick detailer the same as spray wax? And is spray wax the same effort as putting on the P21S paste wax? And if they are different should I use spray wax or use the quick detailer? Which is better and for what reason?

Spray waxes, compared to their liquid and paste could departs require little to no effort. Spray, spread, buff.

Search on the forums for the ma y differences and uses for both spray wax and QDs.

as far as quick detailers, my go to currently is Chemical Guys Extreme Synthetic Quick Retailer, followed closely by FK 125, then by whatever is on hand.

A quick Detailer is different from a spray wax. A quick Detailer would be like Sonax BSD or Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray....my 2 favorites. There are many other brands of QD's you may prefer. This is used more for removing very light dust. It also can be used for a quick shine too. They are not spray waxes. Confusing, huh?

A spray wax is more of an extra quick coat of protection. This is usually put on when the car has been cleaned and a final step.

It can be a QD to many, however, a Quick Detailer would be a better choice.

I have both a QD and a spray wax. I like Optimum Spray Wax.....that one is awesome!!

Guys…BobbyG…thx so much for the quick response..this is great. Ive been a Pop Warner youth football coach since 1998…I needed a new hobby so I purchased a new Boxster S..its lots of fun…just one more question please. When do I use the quick detailer vs. the spray wax…or does it matter, possibly a personal preference?

Most may say personal preference, or use a waterless wash + lsp product

A QD is used for light, and I'm talking light- immediate bird bombs, light dust, light insect carnage- cleaning between washes

Spray wax is just that, a light wax booster for your LSP between washes or to help dry your vehicle after a wash.

Some of us carry a small kit with quality microfibers and an array of small bottles with the essentials- QD, spray wax, glass cleaner, interior cleaner, etc... :)

BSD is a spray sealant and one of the best out there. It is useless to use as a cleaning QD.
 
Guys, I appreciate the help. Today I washed, cleaned my wheels with Sonax, clayed, polished, and put paint sealant on my new car, it looks great. Used mostly Wolfgang products. I need one more, I can't get the water spots off my the cars glass. What product(s) should I use? Thanks for the suggestions.

Most water spots that aren't too bad can be removed with an AIO or a cleaner wax by hand using a foam or MF pad. The benefit of using an AIO is you remove the spots - and leave some protection on the glass in one step. Worse spots may require machine polishing or compounding.

There are also specific "spray & wipe" type products that may be acidic designed for water spots - like Duragloss Water Spot Remover or the new CarPro stuff. My experience with the Duragloss stuff tells me it works well on fresh water spots. It also removes your wax.

Worse case scenario is the glass is etched or the water spots are extremely stubborn, the you may end up using CeriGlass.

Please don't use steel wool, cleanser, Scotch Brite pads, or razor blades on your glass. I've been on AG a while and have seen so many people post they have scratched their glass using some non-detailing specific abrasive product on glass.
