Meguries spray on wax. Thoughts?

Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger sealant followed by optimum spray wax, two coats
notice the reflection in the door of the sidewalk and the clouds all over the car
good wax and good detail job make a world of diff, my car was hideous a couple months ago
The irony is there is NOTHING in that wax or other super high end waxes to justify those insane prices. Plus, they give no better shine or reflectivity than say a $40 wax. However, many will "swear they see a difference" when they really don't. They need to justify paying the RIDICULOUS high prices for some of the waxes. Super high priced waxes generally do NOT make a huge difference considering 90% or more of how a car looks when done detailing it comes from how the paint was prepped. Plus a $200+ carnauba wax wears off just as fast as a $40 carauba wax.
Go ahead and spend 40+. I'll stick with the $9 crap.

I've been using Meguiar's Quick Wax to spray on my door jambs for a few weeks now. It's done a good job in that capacity. I may start using it as a booster for my Poorboy's Natty's Red that I just put on.
LOL, so true. Also, using a car duster isn't the greatest idea because it can spread around contaminants and debris, causing micro marring, swirling, and all kinds of other fun stuff. I've used tons of different sealants and carnauba based/non based waxes over the years, there may be slight differences in appearances, but definitely not different enough to justify the price of 200 bucks for 8 oz worth. But whatever floats your boat. If your car is in good shape and is clayed, it will already feel as smooth as glass at that point in the detail.
I never tried the Optima spray on wax but I do use Prima Hydro after every wash; and it works fantastic.
PS-Car looks beautiful, great job.

Use Meguiars Quick Detailer in between waxes. When you want to wax your car you should wash your car, clay it, wax it , then wash it to remove wax residue

Why not wash it at home then?
Kindaofast, so your saying you drive to the carwash and clay/wax there then drive home?
Use Meguiars Quick Detailer in between waxes. When you want to wax your car you should wash your car, clay it, wax it , then wash it to remove wax residue. You could even clay it after the wax. don't wash after the clay and before the wax. That puts more contaminents on the paint.
