I am running a production car wash business and I am looking for a spray wax which can meet the following criteria:

1. Cab be apply on wet surface after wash and rinse off after apply without buffing.
2. Provide gloss and water beading ability.
3. Can at least last several washes.
4. Reasonable price and can be dilute with water.
 
Duragloss AquaWax, does everything you want, plus you can buy in bulk.
 
Duragloss aquawax is really good. Meguiars ultimate quick wax applies and comes off better but it isn't durable.
 
Aquawax is sealant base. Can you top carnauba wax with aquawax?
 
Carpro Reload, spray sealant but it's the best wet applied protection I've used. Not dillutable but you use so little I think it would be worth it.
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned Optimum Car Wax so far....?
 
Thanks for the Duragloss Aquwash recommendation everyone, but I just read the product description and it mentioned 'buffing' it off a couple of times?

So after washing which of the following should you do it in a production wash situation:

1. Spray this on and leave it to dry
2. Spray it on then rinse it off
3. Spray it on then buff it off

Obviously in a production situation it needs to be as easy and quick as possible.
 
Aquawax doesn't meet ALL your criteria. It can't necessarily be rinsed off or blown off without leaving marks, or at least not to my knowledge, but it can be applied to a wet surface, and can be removed in a towel drying process. It is one of the cheapest spray waxes out there, but it can't be diluted.

the only one that meets ALL your criteria would be permanon. it can be applied wet, and it can be blown off as well without any marks. It isn't as cheap as aquawax but it comes as a concentrate in the first place, so it can be really diluted.
Also, permanon has the same kind of self cleaning ability that cquartz, reload, and opti coat have, do it beads and sheets water better than aquawax as well.
 
Duragloss Aquawax works very well and I have found holds up well after applied.
 
Optimum or Duragloss. Buy a gallon of either and you will have protection for quite some time.
 
It is a semi automatic wash process, car is washed before entering machine, the machine will move and gives twice powerful rinse to car body, spray liquid wax to provide hydrophobic effect on the wet surface and then blown with powerful fan to get about 80% dry.

So to provide the spray wax service, it has to be done in between the two powerful rinse, meaning once the car is in the machine, the machine will be manually halted after the first rinse, then apply the wax, then resume the operation of the machine, the car will get the second rinse and the following process. So there is no buffing process.

The wax needs to be able to rinsed off the car body, no buffing.
 
I love Optimum, and XMT 360 Spray wax. Quick on/off. Nice looks, and decent protection.
 
I just got some Zymol spray glaze. Seems to work really well and a bottle is less than $10!
 
I'm not even sure if anything sold here would be economical enough for your situation. Having taken vehicles through these types of machines, there's definitely a lot of waste in that not all vehicles are the same size, so the sprayers over shoot the vehicle. I guess I personally assumed there was a wholesaler for machine applied soaps/waxes as you're going to need to buy 50 gallons at a time as opposed to 1 or 2, and for as much product getting sprayed out, it's going to need to be cheap if you want to turn any profit.
 
What is the difference between Optimum and Duragloss, besides the price?
 
+1 Duragloss recently added to use with my rinseless wash and its a golden combo.
