I recommend the Optimum (OPT) Car Wax as well. It looks great while easy to work with. If you want a little more durability try the Optimum spray on sealant Optimum (OPT) Opti-Seal. It is the most durable spray on sealant I have tested thus far. Best of all it dries clear so no removal is needed at all. As always you save 10% off at DetailedImage.com with the 10offCL coupon code if interested.

If you're a car care enthusiast, you'll remember back in 2002 there were half a dozen companies making spray (aerosol) carnauba waxes and spray cleaner/waxes. They were great products. These sprays were never meant to replace conventional waxing but were perfect for touch-ups and a quick shine. When time or weather would not permit a full detail, you could spray and wipe your car and enjoy a just-waxed, carnauba shine, in minutes! Pretty damm good! Just spray and wipe with a carnauba cleaner/wax and in one step you've removed the contamination and left a bright, protective, carnauba wax shine.

Then, overnight, these spray products disappeared. All of them. Gone! What happened?

What happened was the California Air Resources Board set a 15% VOC limit for spray waxes. Carnauba is nature's hardest wax. In it's natural state, it's as hard as concrete. To liquefy carnauba to a state where it could be sprayed required a high solvent content, typically over 50%. When the US government adopted California's 15% VOC limit for spray waxes it legislated spray waxes out of existence. All of them. No one could make an aerosol carnauba wax and meet the 15% VOC limit. Until now.

Our BLACKFIRE chemist worked on the problem for over three years and finally found a way to do it. I am extremely proud to present BLACKFIRE Ivory Carnauba Spray Cleaner/Wax, the first aerosol, carnauba, cleaner/wax to meet the 15% VOC limit!

Not only is this a spray wax, it is an extremely pure, ivory carnauba, spray wax. This is the same super-refined carnauba found in the world's best paste waxes. Ivory carnauba creates a shine with exceptional depth and clarity. This is literally shine in a spray can!

A second benefit of ivory carnauba is that it can be used on plastic body panels and trim moldings. Normally, wax will white-stain moldings. BLACKFIRE Ivory Carnauba Spray Cleaner/Wax can be used on black wheel arch moldings, trim moldings, bumpers and plastic body panels without staining!

Just get the OID and OCW. You won't regret it.

Here's another product to add to the mix...einszett Spray Wax.

By far, one of the best and easiest to use we've ever had the pleasure of coming accross.

Pair that with their soap, and you'll get results that rival your paint just being waxed. Great combo!
