I got a can of this stuff. It is an aerosol carnuba spray that you spray on and wipe in curcilar motion let haze then wipe off. My wife got it for me because her boss said it was the best. I dont know how much of a wash and wax wacko he is but I guess I will give it a try. I have done my hood and all seems well. I will probably use it to restore shine in between major waxes jobs using klasse and p21s. I hope my paint doesnt fall off, ha.

Aerosol carnauba eh? Sounds like you would get overspray everywhere with that stuff... I'm not really a fan of liquid waxes--most of them suck compared to their paste counterparts. The only liquid wax worth using IMO is Optimum Car Wax, I love the stuff

Always be wary of anyone who claims a product is "the best." Usually these people are either selling it or are complete newbs when it comes to detailing. If there's one thing I've learned about detailing it's that there is no one product that's the best. There are only products that meet your needs. So, what might be your favorite might be horrible IMO.

I wouldn't worry about your paint falling off though. The only thing I would be concerned about is overspray as already mentioned.

Well, I just waxed the whole car with the stuff. It shines very good and is easy to use. The overspray is not so bad because it seems to go where you spray it and not float to other places. I don't think I would buy another can of it because it is just not as fun as applying some p21s. This stuff want be on my car long b/c the week after christmas I will be washing, claybaring, polishing, klasseing, SGing and P21sing my car also I will be taking my wheels off and doing the same to them.

Seems like there are a bunch of products like this that have just hit the market. Griot's Garage has a liquid wax with a spray attachment for the bottle and Proper Auto Care has another version in an aerosol can under the brand name Blackfire.

I have both, but have only tried the Blackfire so far as a substitute for a detailing spray after washing the car but in between waxing sessions. Seems to work quite nicely as a detailing spray, but I wouldn't consider it a substitute for a wax job by any means. You do need to be careful about wind direction when using the aerosol from what I have seen.

I haven't tried the Griot's version out yet.

first let me admit that i find most griots products overpriced... that said, one of my fav quick detailers is theirs- i think its called speed shine.
carnuba based- it gives great quick clean and shine!

and i can attest that it works great over zaino!

Gotta agree with your comment on their pricing - well over the top on most items.

I think the Spray on Wax is pretty similar to the speed shine stuff but with a little more carnuba mixed in.

I would imagine its just a good quick detailer type deal....like Eagle One of any other spray detailer. It is definetely NOT as good as paste, or liquid wax IMHO.

If you want a decent quick spray wax i think Duragloss Aquawax is very good.
