Im looking for something to use that cheap for wheels and hard to clean/access grilles on cars like the new mustangs and the new 2023 civics and such. Any suggestions?
 
I think Turtle wax and 303 aerospace have these types of sprays, at the cheap pricepoint versus Gyeon wetcoat/Carpro hydro at the higher price point.

On AG,

303 Touchless Sealant

As for sugestions, I've seen wetcoat mentioned a lot, seems to work well. But I think there's a trick to these sprays - I think it's easy to over do it and get streaking or not all of it removed.

Thanks. I did see 303 and you're right. Less is more. It'll look like nothing is on there but it is lol. I dont know how often it'll be worth using as well... I did M37 touchless sealant and I got streaking/slim
build up when I went too heavy.

This may not be exactly what you are looking for but it is what I do in your situation

Get Megs Hybrid Ceramic Wax, put on an initial base coat using a very small amount of product on a microfiber applicator, and buff it off

Then dilute more HCW with distilled water at 3:1 distilled water to HCW and use that for maintenance

You don't need to saturate the wheel or grill with it, just a few spritzes and hose it off
 
Armor All Ceramic Car Wash Soap.

Use it straight undiluted for spray on/hose off instant beading protection. It’s liquid consistency.

I’ve been using it on grills/wheels/etc.

303 Touchless is a very solid choice

Btw, when I sprayed this grill with that Armor All Ceramic Car Wash…

Spray on/rinse off. Can you tell which direction my nozzle was pointed? Lol.

Yep, that’s what just the rinse water did to half of the hood by accident.

Mic drop. You’re right. Nothing can touch it especially for that price.

Thank you for the tips.
 
Nano skin super charger $6-7 dollars for 16oz RTU bottle.

If using a lot you can buy a gallon for $120 that’s concentrated 100:1. If i math right that will make 100 gallons. $1.2 a gallon?

Just will have enough to do every car in your state once…

3D bead it up can be used the same way as wet coat is is super cheap by the gallon.

from watching youtube videos, all the ones that Ive watched say that I have to agitate it. I guess if Im going to do that, I mind as well just wash with soap and then use one of the spray and rinse sealants like Wetcoat etc.

Ignore all the YT videos. No one (from what I've seen) is using Armor All Ceramic *concentrated* in a spray bottle.

See my post HERE for my tips on how to use this product.

In a nutshell, spray >let dwell 15 seconds >rinse. (keep out of direct sunlight)

If we’re only getting a few good weeks of beading doesn’t it make sense to use wet coat or the like. That will provide longer beading

No. It doesn't make sense to spend more money on Wetcoat or anything else is the same category. And when I said Armor All Ceramic lasts "a few good weeks" that was an estimation as I have never officially recorded how long it actually lasts. It could be a month or longer. Since I always re-apply at every wash, it continues indefinitely. You get what I'm saying? Longevity doesn't matter with this type of product. Its SO EASY to apply, why not reapply every time you wash? Its literally spray and rinse off. If you use it every wash or every other wash you'll continue infinite protection as long as you keep re-applying it.

Wetcoat on AMZ is 1.36 per oz (17 oz bottle) vs Armor All at Walmart is 23.9c per oz (50 oz bottle). Its not even close in price. And I've used Wetcoat before. There is nothing magical about their formulation. AA Ceramic does the same thing for cheaper.

Just go and buy it at Walmart and try it for yourself. Then report back.
