Looking for a good canauba spray wax sold in gallon size.

Research:
- Pinnacle Sovereign Liquid Spray Wax: 79.99

- Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray Wax: $49.99

- McKee's 37 Fast Wax: 42.99

- Chemical Guys Insta Wax: $46.99

- Optimum Car Wax: $49.99

- Other Suggestions (Does not have to be from the products I listed).
 
I use Blackfire spray wax on my own cars as a drying aid.

I use Optimum car wax on my basic full details due to its "up to 5 month" durability.

I also use the Optimum car wax on wheels when I dry them pretty much every wash.

No experience with any of the others you listed. 8-)
 
If it were me I would get the Blackfire Midnight Sun Spray wax. I use it and it is awesome....NO STREAKS on hot panels.....beads real nice. Good stuff and a pretty good price too!

And excellent longevity for a Spray Wax. I'm still getting decent beading months later.
 
go with blackfire u will not regret it..i use it every 3 to 4 weeks..my car stays cleaner much longer now even after rain..Plus bird bombs are very easy to clean nothing sticks on paint now..l tried many D156, DG Aquawax, optimum spray wax,griots but blackfire gets my vote..
 
Kamakaz. The *no streaks on a warm / hot panel* gets my attention. Living in AZ and using OCW I am fine from Oct to May. I love the stuff. But once summer kicks in it's 110* in the shade even in my garage. It's up to 95* at midnight. I get some streaks. Have you actually tested the BF in the sun or on warm panels? Also what longevity are you seeing on a daily driver.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have a Black car and one of my tests is to purposely put a spray wax on a warm/hot panel. I get frustrated when I see streaks as it just dulls the car. There are only a handful of spray waxes that will not streak and one of them is the Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray. No offense to the OCW users but it will streak on hot panels. That is why I would go for the Blackfire Midnight Sun Spray wax.
 
Blackfire is great! The CG looks pretty good, but it's not that great of a product unless you let it sit and haze up. I have a sample of the Pinnacle, but have yet to try it. I don't see how it can be much better than the BF, especially not for the difference in price
 
Autogeek carries, by the case:

Mothers California Gold Spray Wax
6ea. 24 oz. Spray Bottles
(= 144oz/1.125 gallons)...
@$45.00 per case.

Pretty good deal, IMO.

I have used Mothers California Gold Spray Wax, and like it very much.
I don't think they sell it by the gallon.
I have looked on Mother's Website, the PBMG websites, and other vendors.
I just can't find anything suggesting it is made for and sold by the gallon.

I am not willing to by a case and end up with a lot of spent plastic bottles lying around.
Armor All Auto Glass has killed me with that, lol.

Since we have weekly recyclables pick up,
I don't have an excess of any plastics lying
around for very long.

Additionally:
I don't let "bulk availability: by the case only"
deter my purchasing of a product I really like.

Good list, may also consider Griot's Spray Wax. Very good value.
 
Those that like Optimum and Blackfire .... you need to also try McKee's Fast Wax. Another great choice ...
 
Thanks again for the tip K.

Any big difference between Pinnacle and Blackfire besides the price? I currently have Pinnacle and it looks and beads awesome on my Black Silverado.
