My personal favourite is Optimum Car Wax. They're all pretty good though. Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax, Adam's H2o Guard/Gloss, and Griot's Spray Wax are also good options.

Gyeon cure is my favorite spray on product right now. It isn't budget friendly, but it's worth the money imo.

Chemical Guys is a very popular brand. I've never tried it, but I've heard good things about the V07 detail spray/sealant.

I use Cure every 90 days or so as a warranty requirement to having Gyeon MOHS installed in the car. I like it but it seems hard to work without streaks. Maybe it's me. Online videos make it look easy to work on and off. Do you notice streaking?

The only time I've notice streaking is on black cars when I first started using it. My problem was that I was using too much product. I eased off of the trigger, and that solved my problem.

​​​​​Ambient and paint temperature could also cause issues. That's why all products say to apply in the shade and when paint is cool to the touch.

It looks like they just started. It's $31.95 for a 400mL bottle, but you only apply it once every 4-8 weeks, so a bottle will last you over a year (for 1 car).

Yeah. Just did Cure yesterday. And well...my car is black. You're right though...balance. Too much product doesn't make it easier.

Do you spray cure on when the car is wet or dry? I usually spray it on while I'm drying the car.

Gyeon is a great choice, although it is more of a spray sealant than a wax... optimum spray wax would be my choice... i am spoiled with spray sealants BTW. Gyeon, Nanolex and Kenotek, are my faves right now. about to try Polish Angel... their car products look very promising. the coating is bananas. you guys know i am a car care product THOT. lol

Cure is definitely one of my favorites. I have 1 bottle that I'm working on, a back up 400mL bottle, and then 2 small bottles from the mohs kits. Did you finally try the Nanolex Spray sealant? I still have a brand new bottle sitting on my shelves, but no more cars to test on. I still want to try the kenotek, but I don't think it is necessary at this point.

If I was going to blame someone for restarting my detailing addiction it would be you. haha

I like to use meguiars quick detailer. It's great price for peformace especially when you buy it in the gallon. You can dilute it in different ratios as well to get the desired finish and longevity out of the product. One of it's great uses is 50/50 dilution as a drying aid. I've seen others do it and have been doing it for a while and really like it. Since it's so cheap you can use it every wash haha. It's great for soft paints, my custom paint is stupid soft. A lot of times you can have a lot of lubrication while washing but when it comes to drying there's not much which can cause micro marring which will be visible over time. Using it as a drying aid helps to add lubrication and a little wax as well.
