Default What's the Best Spray Wax/Finish to Use In Between Details

Living in Florida, I have a garage-kept 2004 vert that I usually apply a full detail twice per year. In between, I mostly use Adams Waterless Car Wash and occasionally a bucket wash if I get caught on the freeway during a rainstorm.

The finish is still really nice, however can anyone recommend a good spray on/wipe off wax or finish that I should use in between full details. I've been using Adams Detail Spray, but I'm curious if there is something that will help maintain the slippery wax detail a little better.


Thanks!

If you're happy with the Adams, stick with it.

If not, there are a lot of good ones available.

FK 425 look it up: http://www.autogeek.net/finish-kare-425-detailer.html It is a final detail glosser. No protection but it does offer the wet look and it is slippery. Not messy to the hands though.

It isn't a spray on though.

My favorites are Zaino Z6 or Z8. Pinnacle Crystal Mist is also excellent for maintaining that just detailed look.

Im in the same boat as you, I only wash once per year and im an avid adams user. What I like to use right after a rinseless wash, is there glaze; its not in a spray anymore so you apply it like any liquid product. The glaze goes on super smooth and comes right off, you seriously can knock out the car in 20 minutes. It gives you a nice pop in refection and wont build up like multiple coats of wax. Give it a try, you will love it.
